A Teutonic warrior born about 550 in Frisia, he first died in 590 attempting to rescue a woman from robbers. His first teacher was the Immortal, Atli of Rhaetia, who showed him what he was, and how to survive in the Game. His life would take a marked change in the year AD 997, as he discovered he was one of the few Immortals ever chosen to face the demon Ahriman. Timothy survived the encounter, and staved off the demon's attempt to control the world, but walked away deeply shaken by the horrors shown him by the ancient evil.
