Tierus Morvaenus Faendryl was raised to the worship of Sheru by a cultist grandfather. An iconoclast to the core, he bucked his family's traditions and fled into the west. For a time, he served as a mendicant in the Order of Ronan, but the stresses of his childhood drove him mad, resulting in a separate personality dubbed "Terror" by the bardess Nofret Hrist. He was forcibly healed of this affliction during an encounter with the Mularosian Pain Lord, Eryael, after which Tierus dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the service of the Dark Arkati, and was named the Tear of Mularos. Once Eryael was banished beyond the walls of the world, Tierus voyaged into the Empire, visiting the Wizardwaste and the Sea of Fire. Since his return to the northwest, he has devoted himself to the study of pain in all its forms.
