Prince Timu

Prince Timu is the studious and serious Crown Prince of the Dandelion Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Ragin and Empress Jia. A man of principle and intellect, his journey is one of tragic compromise after being captured by the Lyucu and forced to become a puppet emperor.

Appearance & Personality

Timu is studious, serious, and sometimes overly literal, a stark contrast to his adventurous sister Théra and martial brother Phyro. He is a diligent administrator and a man of deep moral conviction. However, his idealism is severely tested by the brutal realities of the Lyucu invasion and his subsequent captivity.[TWOS-1]

History

The Wall of Storms

Sent to govern the island of Dasu, Timu was on the front lines when the Lyucu invasion began. With his forces overwhelmed, he made the courageous choice to surrender to prevent the slaughter of civilians, becoming a captive of Pékyu Tenryo.[TWOS-22][TWOS-37]In captivity, he fell in love with the Lyucu princess Tanvanaki, who manipulated him into becoming a puppet emperor. Believing he was forging a path to peace, he publicly denounced his own family, a profound betrayal that broke his father's heart.[TWOS-56]

The Veiled Throne

As the puppet 'Emperor Thaké,' Timu's life was one of constant humiliation. He was largely powerless, caught between his love for his new family and his duty to his old one. Empowered by a secret message from his mother, he courageously denounced the brutal purges of the hardliner Cutanrovo Aga, but his outburst backfired, leading to his further marginalization.[TVT-16][TVT-25]

Speaking Bones

Timu's tragic story concluded with the total collapse of the Lyucu occupation. In the final chaotic days, after his wife Tanvanaki was murdered by Cutanrovo, a stunned and powerless Timu was in turn murdered by the traitor Noda Mi.[SB-39][SB-43]
