"The student of a Nephalian skaberen, Tibalt tried to follow in his master's footsteps, cobbling together and reanimating corpses. But he lacked the talent and discipline for the dark, exacting work. Nursing a growing seed of hatred fed by his own failures and isolation, he began to turn his talents toward the realm of the living. His experiments tested the ability of living organisms to withstand pain. Tibalt used only vermin at first but then moved on to larger animals and eventually to vagrants. As if summoned by the evil nature of these new experiments, devils began to gather near Tibalt's laboratory at night, whispering in their strange, chittering tongue. In time the devils offered Tibalt insights into what fascinated him most: the true nature of pain. Filled with a sense of power, Tibalt grew more sadistic and more careless, oblivious to the whisperings of the townsfolk. It was only a short time before an inquisitor's boot kicked in the door of his laboratory. Cornered in a room filled with jabbering devils and torture devices, Tibalt should have been executed or jailed for life. But at that moment he invoked a potent and hateful spell built from the devils' utterances and his own grim discoveries. The spell fused his own essence with theirs—at the cost of inflicting on him all the pain he had inflicted on others. In that moment, Tibalt's Planeswalker spark ignited and flung him across the Multiverse, away from the inquisitors' blades. Now half-human, half-devil, Tibalt is free to practice his "art" on countless planes." What do you think?
Do you have any guesses why he may have returned to the plane?
Where do you think he'll fit into the story?
Do you like him as a character at all?

We have already discussed this in the thread about a likely moonfolk walker (we don't stay on topic).

I don't think Sarkhan has any interest in seeing Bolas tortured.
"What is etherium but the next logical step?" It's all my fault.

Hell, if they steal from us, we'd be honored.

Then changing the Slivers was your idea! haha

Not now, but he could. Sarkhan Vol  was a dragon hunter before he became Bolas' servant. No reason he can't try again. "As he planeswalks throughout the Multiverse, keeping tabs on other planeswalkers and doing obscure errands for his new master, voices of doubt plague his mind." - Sarhhan the Mad's website description.

Nah, Tibalt seems like a good villian in his own right, possibly for Chandra -- Garruk's got Liliana, Ajani has Bolas, Jace crosses paths with most things, Elspeth and Koth have the Phyrexians/Tezz/Bolas... Chandra needs a solidly nasty antagonist -- neither Jace (Opposed to her, but more of a good guy overall) nor Gideon (Not even necessarily opposed to her any more) really fit. Plus, it would be really interesting to see two PWs of the same color clash.

Jace and Tezzeret hate each other more than life itself.

I agree with Tevesh, he seems like he'd be best on his own. An excellent if wildly tonally inappropriate noir villian. Serial killer you can never catch.
Also, and this is way out of left field, am I th only one who saw the laviathin things in Avengers and immediatly thought of Pentavus  ?
