Tiberius is a Jiralhanae born in 2452 (Human Calendar) on the planet Doisac to a small religious sect of Jiralhanae. At the age of twelve, Tiberius was captured and sold into slavery to a Sangheili Fleet Master named Telo 'Julamee by a pack of Jiralhanae that had been newly converted to the Covenant religion. He spent most of his youth serving under the Julamee, listening intently to the Fleet Master's tactics and strategy despite being constantly beaten by Telo, just for being a Jiralhanae. Although he never fought back, Tiberius proved himself loyal to the Telo time and time again eventually earning his trust. By the time of the Great Schism, Tiberius was one hundred years old (fourty years old in human terms) and was the aged Fleet Master most trusted and loyal advisor as well as Telo's medical helper as he had contracted a rare disease which led to his death shortly before the Covenant Civil War. With Telo gone, Tiberius was set free only to be caught up in the Great Schism. Managing to escape, Tiberius led a armed convoy of Jiralhanae women and youths with an handful of Jiralhanae warriors to a small colony world Blessed Beauty which Tiberius promptly renamed Telo after his mentor.

For the most part, Tiberius kept his small nation out of the Civil War but over the Resource Wars Tiberius was forced to act, leading raids on other Jiralhanae factions stealing supplies and warships while also colonising eleven other colonies. During the Doisac War, Tiberius led his Loyal Jiralhanae against the Neo-Covenant Empire despite vastly outnumbered against the titan of a Remnant faction.

Early Life
Tiberius was born into a litter of twenty three Jiralhanae cubs - sixteen males and seven females, a litter that size was considered standard to most Jiralhanae mothers. Tiber, as he was called back then, lived on Lusor a small island nation that had for centuries fiercely maintained their independence from the Master Pack cultures on the mainland. This cultural and political isolation also encouraged the growth of the religion named the Old Ways, an anicent Jiralhanae philosophy.
