Tigros
11 March 2026
Eindhoven, Netherlands
Tigros, Duke of Trelawney is a formal member of the Tigerian royal family as the partner of Queen Tijgertje.
Shortly after he appeared, Tigros befriended Tigrish and grew close to the Tigerian royal family. To showcase his loyalty and dedication to the royal family, Tigros formalized the Tigerian Queensguard. Together with Tigrish, he also founded Royal Wine Corporation and Royal Estate. Tigros quickly developed an interest in Tijgertje, and his increasing prominence allowed him to converse with Tijgertje on numerous occasions. After growing closer throughout March 2026, the two publicly announced on 5 April 2026 that they had begun a romantic relationship. Tigros faced heavy criticism and was generally regarded as extremely assertive. After the announcement, Tijgertje formalized the Crownday as a national holiday of the Tigerium. She later also designated Tigros as a formal member of the royal family after he merged the House of Trelawney with the royal house. He was also granted the style "His Royal Highness", and was created Duke of Trelawney on 1 May 2026. The controversies largely diminished after May 2026 and he became widely considered the future royal consort of the Tigerium.
Tigros and Tijgertje have three children. The eldest, Tristan, was born on 8 April 2026 and became heir apparent. Their second child and only daughter, Tigrea, was born on 10 April 2026. Their youngest child, Terrence, was born on 15 April 2026.
Early and personal life
Tigros appeared at 15:20 on 11 March 2026 in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He publicly stated he comes from the House of Trelawney and added that he is of Greek descent, though he speaks only Dutch and English.
After he appeared, Tigros formalized the Tigerian Queensguard, the personal guard of the Tigerian royal family. He was often seen conversing with politicians and the Tigerian royals, Tigrish in particular. Together with Tigrish, he founded Royal Wine Corporation and Royal Estate. Over time, he seemingly lost interest in the companies, as had Tigrish, who let his assistants manage the businesses in his stead. Despite the loss of interest, Tigros became widely regarded as a prolific businessman.
After growing closer with Tigrish, Tigros developed a romantic interest in Tijgertje. Through Tigrish he was able to befriend her, after which she regularly invited him to spend time together. Tigrish was protective of Tijgertje and grew increasingly wary of him. They grew increasingly distant as Tigros continued his friendship with Tijgertje.
Their friendship deteriorated further when Tigros proposed adopting a constitution. Tigrish, a staunch proponent of the absolute monarchy, strongly disliked the idea of a democratic system. Tijgertje, who had heard the appeal for a Tigerian democracy from Beertje Bacon as well, started contemplating possibly adopting a constitution. On 26 March 2026, Tijgertje agreed and the Tigerian constitution was subsequently formalized. It was heavily in favour of the royal family. In particular, the newly-founded position of Crown Minister was questioned by pro-democrats. According to the constitution, the Crown Minister represents the royal family and is allowed to veto any bill proposed by parliament. Tigros was generally credited with the formal implementation of the constitution. When questioned if he was pleased and whether this was the result he sought, he said he fully agreed with what it entailed and added that the royal family should retain significant influence in politics. He argued that holding democratic elections, even if the political parties don't have substantial influence, makes condemning non-democratic countries less hypocritical.
Tigros regularly visited and stayed the night at the royal palace. About two weeks after Tigros appeared from the void, the Great Fire of 29 March 2026 took the royal family by surprise. When awoken early in the morning, he rushed downstairs to safety with Tijgertje and Tigrish. The rest of the royal family was not able to escape the top floor, though they ultimately survived the incident. He described it as a "traumatic event" and later expressed his appreciation that the royals were unharmed. Tigrish began to admire Tigros more after the fire, and the two became close friends again.
Over the next week, Tigros and Tijgertje grew progressively closer. On 5 April 2026, Tigros asked Tijgertje to be his girlfriend, which she agreed to. They officially announced their relationship later that day at 15:20, exactly 25 days after his appearance. The announcement sparked significant controversies directed towards Tigros. He was often called too assertive and in some cases manipulative. Tijgertje fiercely refuted these claims and designated Tigros as a formal member of the royal family after he merged the House of Trelawney with the Royal House of the Tigerium. When Tijgertje gave birth to Tristan just three days after they announced their relationship, the controversies intensified. This continued when Tigrea was born on 10 April and Terrence on 15 April, though Tijgertje legitimized all three children by designating them as Golden Royals.
To improve the public image of the royal family, Tijgertje went on a trip to the Spirit Gardens in the Muschy Hills on 19 April 2026 with Tigros, their children, Tigrish and Tiggy. That day, Tigros allegedly said he was stressed and saddened by all the hate directed towards him. The statement was captured and released to the public. While the royal family argued it was an invasion of their privacy, the controversies appeared to lessen significantly. The royal family later went on another trip on 25 April, and Tigros developed an affinity for gardening, a tribute to p1gsel's great-grandfather, Walter.
Tigros was created Duke of Trelawney on 1 May 2026 by Tijgertje, who sought to honour the House of Trelawney. Throughout May, the controversies disappeared entirely and he became widely accepted as a member of the royal family.
On 2 June 2026, Tigros and Tijgertje went to a theater in Venlo, Netherlands.
On 4 June 2026, Tijgertje celebrated her 19th birthday. This was her first birthday on which Tigros was present. He accompanied her throughout the day.
On 6 June, Tigros and Tijgertje went to a theater in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
On 10 June, his friend Milos of Pigget overthrew King Varkentje in Pigtopia. Tigros flew to Pigtopia together with Tigrish to discuss a deal.
