Tyrion
A High Elf character from Warhammer Fantasy. Depending on your opinion, he's either the ultimate Mary Sue or just a badass personifying everything neat about the race. The fact he's a knight and not a fucking spellcaster is a HUGE bonus towards the latter.
The Legend
Tyrion is a total badass who doesn't give a fuck what you think about him (or a Mary Sue, depends on if you play High Elves or not). Awhile back, he was an up and coming noble in the courts and being descended from Morelion (son of Aenarion), he had a pretty substantial fortune as well as a big name to live up to. When the elves in the powdered wigs tried to embarrass him in front of the court, usually by making fun of his twin brother Teclis who was crippled from birth, he usually responded with a challenge to a duel to the death. He quickly became known as a badass swordsman as well as a douche. Since people started saying he's Aenarion reborn (that might not be a compliment) he began to wear Aenarion's armor, which had been passed down the family since it was reclaimed in the days of Tethlis the Slayer. He also was allowed to carry a sword belonging to one of Aenarion's buddies if he signed them out from the Lothern Museum of Asur History, but he never gave it back and they were too afraid to report it missing.
After adventuring around like a TES character and doing random shit for awhile, Ulthuan got clusterfucked by Daemons and Dark Elves. He heard that the Everqueen was being chased by Malekith's rapesquad and went to rescue her, killing them but got fucked right up from a poison hidden carefully in the anus of an assassin he was corpse humping after the fight, and Alarielle carried his dumbass around Ulthuan while he moaned "Bel...Dagobah system..." while running from a Keeper of Secrets. Then Teclis showed up and facerolled things. After they rejoined the Rebel Alliance rest of the High Elf forces and Tyrion was healed up, Alarielle decided he'd make a great addition to her harem. She gave him a magic engagement necklace that lets him give Death the middle finger, and the God Emperor of Horsekind Malhandir. Then he SMITE CLEAVE SMITEed 90% of the Dark Elf race personally at the Battle of Finuval Plain.
Then he went back to adventuring, except when Alarielle sends a letter that she wants the cock whereupon he zips right home. He's a bit emo since Aenarion's curse makes him think about the Widowmaker like it's the ultimate sexual fetish all the time. Thinking about his brother gets his dick soft enough that he can think about Alarielle and get a boner for killing Dark Elves again. When his best bro got killed by Dark Elves, he took the dude's loli daughter as a squire and taught her how to slap around prissy nobility, brood, and /win battles. If he doesn't get wasted, he'll probably be the next Phoenix King, but since he's buddies with Finubar (also Eltharion, but Elthy is a dick to him now) he's not looking forward to it.
Currently in the canon story, he's facerolling Vampire Counts lead by Mannfred von Carstein who's trying to resurrect Nagash by sacrificing Alarielle and Finubar's daughter (and hence the next Everqueen, unless Finny dies soon enough for Tyrion to give Alarielle an heir [earlier editions, due to the fact that Finubar is much older than Alarielle and Alarielle became Everqueen shortly before meeting Tyrion, implied that Alarielle was in fact Finubar's daughter and Tyrion would succeed Finubar as Phoenix King one day. Recent sources from both Black Libary books and now the 8th Edition High Elf army book have confirmed that to be not the case]. Whether or not this is Mr. Ward taking away the most badass High Elf as a potential faction leader or just the way it was always supposed to be is up for debate). Unfortunately, Mannfred recaptured Aliathra when Tyrion was distracted and used his magic to flee with her. Tyrion meets High King Thorgrim and his army of Dwarves (who arrived to help them over a debt of honor; they don't really care about elves now) and insults him like crazy, blaming the Dwarves for the loss of Aliathra and probably undoing that attempt at reconciliation between the two races.
On The Tabletop
Taken as his own, Tyrion is the biggest and baddest asskicker for his point cost. He destroys units on his own in a turn, he can take a cannonball to the balls and it'll only make his dick harder, and his sword shoots fire like a dragon. If you can't actually field him, then proxying a Prince or a Noble on horseback with Armor of Caledor and a magic weapon works as well (this option will allow you to field Alarielle and Tyrion in the same army).
