| “ | The demon Tybaulk had infested the minds of countless victims over the centuries. Slowly, inexorably, he would lead them to the fire, and watch his flames feast on scorched flesh. But in young Annie, Tybaulk found a will completely indomitable, and a talent for magic that rivaled even his own. | „ |

Biography[]
Lore[]
The demon known as Tybaulk was once a servant of the dreaded dark lord Mordekaiser, one of two great beasts that would destroy anything in their master's way. After Mordekaiser's downfall, the demon fell into the possession of LeBlanc and the Black Rose, who forced him into submission by weakening his power. Later on, Tybaulk was sealed away into a vial and transferred to the Ravenbloom Conservatory, where he was infused into Amoline Kiosar in hopes of creating a magical weapon. Amoline later escaped the Black Rose and married Grigori Hastur, and as a gift to their child Annie, Amoline sealed Tybaulk into a teddy bear to serve as her protector.
Despite her unassuming appearance, Annie was a mage with powerful pyrokinetic abilities and a stronger will, both of which impressed Tybaulk and he found the child could resist his temptations. Thus, the demon was impressed and became her companion. After Amoline's death, Grigori remarried to a woman named Leanna, with whom Annie had a bad relationship, and after a tragedy which resulted in the death her stepsister and father, Leanna blamed Annie and the two fought. In the end, Annie summoned Tybaulk for the first time, killing her stepmother. Since then, Annie and Tibbers wander the outskirts of Noxus, spreading fire where they go and leaving ashes in their wake.
