{{Lore Link|Tiber Septim}}, also known as '''General Talos''', '''Hjalti Early-Beard''', '''the Dragonborn''', and '''Ysmir''', was an emperor of {{Lore Link|Nord}}ic descent who became one of the most famed figures in {{Lore Link|Tamriel}}ic history, reigning as Emperor Tiber Septim from {{Year|2E 854}}-{{Year|3E 38}}.{{ref|name=BHotE1|{{Cite book|Brief History of the Empire v 1}}}} Believed to have been born in the Nordic continent of {{Lore Link|Atmora}} in {{Year|2E 828}}, Tiber Septim started his career in service under the {{Lore Link|Cyrodiil}}ic king {{Lore Link|Cuhlecain}} and was known as General Talos.

Talos became General of the {{Lore Link|Colovian Estates}} under King (and later Emperor) Cuhlecain. General Talos met the combined army of Skyrim and High Rock on the field of {{Lore Link|Sancre Tor}}, who were hostile to Cuhlecain.{{ref|name=PGE1C}} The Skyrim army joined him when they saw him use the {{Lore Link|thu'um}} and knew him to be the son of Skyrim and heir to the Empires of Men.{{ref|name=PGE1C}} But the Bretons saw things differently.

Tiber Septim died in {{Year|3E 38}}.{{ref|name=BHotE1}}
==Heresy==
'' (This alternate story shares many of the details and events of the official version, but differs in key aspects.) ''<br>
Hjalti Early-Beard was born on the island of {{Lore Link|Alcaire}}, in High Rock.{{ref|name=TAH|{{Cite book|The Arcturian Heresy}}}} Amid rumors of a warlord destined to rule Tamriel, he rose to prominence in the service of King Cuhlecain and fought to unify Cyrodiil. Few knew of the existence of his secret ally, the {{Lore Link|Underking}}, {{Lore Link|Ysmir Kingmaker}}.{{ref|name=TAH}} The Underking provided assistance to the young General, but the manner of his assistance is vaguely described in the book. There are references to a storm that talks all night with Hjalti and deflected arrows while Hjalti shouted down the wall of Old Hrol'dan, where Hjalti was given the name Talos, meaning Stormcrown, by his men.{{ref|name=TAH}} This storm is most likely the Underking, as his body had recently been blasted to ash by the Greybeards, and he is referred to as 'Ysmir, the Grey Wind' and 'the Storm of Kyne'.{{ref|name=TAH}} After the province was conquered, Hjalti murdered Cuhlecain and his contingent in the {{Lore Link|Imperial City}} and blamed the deaths and ensuing blaze on assassins from High Rock.{{ref|name=TAH}} The Underking continued to aid in his conquests, and Hjalti took the name Tiber Septim, ascending to the Ruby Throne.
==Personal Life==
He was believed to have been born in {{Year|2E 828}} in the ancient continent of Atmora, according to the official story. Tiber is believed to have also been of Nordic blood. The identity of his parents is not recorded. The details of his youth are not well-known, despite the fact he spent it in Skyrim. Tiber Septim had one child with an unknown woman, and this child in turn had one son - {{Lore Link|Pelagius Septim|Pelagius}}.{{ref|name=TAH}} Some sources claimed, in apparent error, that Pelagius was Tiber Septim's eldest son.{{ref|name=BHEDG|{{Cite book|Brief History of the Empire (Daggerfall)}}}} Late in life, according to other sources, he had an affair with the future Dunmeri Queen, {{Lore Link|Barenziah}}, and had her unborn child aborted.{{ref|name=TRB|{{Cite book|The Real Barenziah}}}} His reign lasted from {{Year|2E 854}} until his death in {{Year|3E 38}}, lasting for 81 years.
==Artifacts==
Tiber Septim became associated with several notable artifacts during his lifetime (and, in some cases, beyond). {{Lore Link|The Totem of Tiber Septim}} is a powerful but mysterious artifact that can be used by persons of royal blood to control {{Lore Link|Numidium}}, a powerful golem that helped Tiber Septim conquer Tamriel. It is believed to have played a crucial role in the {{Lore Link|Warp in the West}}.{{ref|name=TWITW|{{Cite book|The Warp in the West}}}}
According to stories out of {{Lore Link|Morrowind}}, Tiber Septim appeared to the {{Lore Link|Nerevarine}} just before his reconquest of {{Lore Link|Red Mountain}}. He was an old man named {{Lore Link|Wulf}} that no others could see, and he gave the hero {{Lore Link|Old Man's Lucky Coin|one of his own septims}} and granted him {{Lore Link|A Lucky Coin|luck}}. The levitating {{Lore Link|Boots of the Apostle}} are attributed to the Emperor, though it remains veiled in mystery.{{ref|name=TL|{{Cite book|Tamrielic Lore}}}} There is some suggestion that the Nerevarine may also have found them. The {{Lore Link|Armor of Tiber Septim}} was supposedly recovered from a ruined fort in Cyrodiil for use by {{Lore Link|Martin Septim}} in his effort to stop the {{Lore Link|Oblivion Crisis}}.
==Notes==
* In the [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]] quest [[Skyrim:The Ghost of Old Hroldan|The Ghost of Old Hroldan]], an ancient ghost repeatedly refers to the defeater of the Witchmen of High Rock as "Hjalti", and makes reference to the time they spent together learning from "the sword masters of Alcaire".
