Tyrian Callows

Tyrian is an antagonist in RWBY who was introduced in "The Next Step". He is an associate of Salem and part of her inner circle.

Appearance
Tyrian is a pale man with a brown braided ponytail and orange eyes. He wears a white sleeveless jacket with leather belts strapped to it along with white pants. His jacket is left open, exposing his bare chest, which is criss-crossed with prominent scars. His arms are covered with purple bandages and leather vambraces. He also wears leather boots covering his entire shin with knee guards.

Personality
Tyrian appears to be a highly unstable and maladjusted individual. He frequently bursts into fits of uncontrollable, maniacal laughter and relishes in gruesome thoughts, such as removing one of Ruby Rose's eyes in revenge for her taking one of Cinder Fall's. He also expresses extreme glee when told to find Ruby, but appears disappointed when told he must capture her alive. However, he shows deference to Salem and willingly follows her orders. One of his eccentricities is sitting in an unusual position with both feet on the chair.

Abilities and Powers
He is proficient enough to be tasked with hunting Ruby Rose and the Spring Maiden.

Weapons
Tyrians's weapon of choice is a set of claw blades attached to his vambraces. They can be seen during the Volume 4 Opening.

Trivia

 * Tyrian is a shade of purple.
 * Tyrian's design and personality has some similarities to Yuuki Terumi from the BlazBlue series of fighting games. Given that Penny's weapons are based on the Murakumo Units from BlazBlue and the creator of BlazBlue is on good terms with the RWBY team, the resemblance is likely intentional.
