𝓣he Tirivahni throne has been one unbroken line of succession since its founding, and yet the child that will succeed the current Emperor or Empress is not known until they hit puberty and shift for the first time. Because of this, and because of the difficulty of Tirivahni to breed, the heir may not be born of the Emperor or Empress directly, but may come from the line of dukes and duchesses (the brothers and sisters of the ruler) who make up the Planet Court. The primary obligation of all members of the royal family is to breed, to ensure the royal family's line remains unbroken. Morothyn is one of the current Empress' many cousins, but when he hit puberty and the Goddess Imo chose him, he was put forever out of the running for the throne. While the soothsayers had not been expecting him to take the form of the White Tiger, he was still raised to learn all the courtly graces just incase his offspring one day were the next in line for the throne. For the most part, Morothyn kept his head down, staying out of family squabbles, doing his duty, and taking the role of ambassador or attaché for visiting delegates. Despite his public position, Morothyn is a private and low-key individual who wanted nothing more than to do his duty out of the spotlight.

As he approached middle age, the Empress pressured him to find a suitable mate and ensure that Brenastyl Palace had a suitable heir. Morothyn's compromise was to find a suitable spouse. He met Temius at one of the Sun Court's many balls (though Temius doesn't remember it), and from the first, Morothyn was smitten. Propriety required him to keep his distance until his sister, princess Vailo, had successfully bred with the young Iso. But as soon as the coast was clear, Morothyn made his move. Years later, Temius and Morothyn are living their happily ever after with an adopted son and (hopefully) another child on the way.

While Morothyn is soft spoken and good natured, he's firm when he needs to be. He's protective and generous, and will go the extra mile to keep the peace. Unlike some of his siblings, he's always been more subdued in how he presents himself, and is never one to use his position or title to claim an unfair advantage.
