	Trueblood was part of the [[Vadoma tribe]], a clan of [[Vistani]] with the unusual practice of letting males with [[the Sight]] live. He was the twin brother of [[Jaelle Vadoma]] and the biological son [[Mirela Vadoma]] and [[Pietre Volmi]], though Tibor was raised by his uncle. As a youth, Tibor's Sight enabled him to see worlds beyond the Mists, and he learned forbidden arcane knowledge.

	When the time came, Trueblood sent ~~pit~~ the Angels to wipe out St. Agnes, both to rid it of all Jaelle's Brood living there and as a dry run for his invasion of ~~heaven~~. However, he was confronted [[Artemis Donovan]] and [[Dirk Penhallow]]. Trueblood [[tempted]] Dirk, an outcast among his family for his own ability to [[curse]], into helping him wipe out the people that had [[betrayed]] him. Although Dirk was in danger of succumbing to Trueblood's [[corruption]], Trueblood's callous [[murder]] of Dirk's sister, [[Claire Penhallow]] whom Trueblood only knew as one of the Children of Jaelle, turned Dirk against him.

	In turn, Dirk revealed he carried a weapon that knew Trueblood, for it was the [[knife]] that Jaelle had used to pierce Trueblood's flesh so many years ago. Dirk plunged the knife into Trueblood and cast him out with a curse, just as the Vadoma tribe had done so long before. Although Trueblood [[mortally wounded]] Dirk in return, [[the Mists]] descended upon Trueblood and ripped him asunder.

	As this was happening, Dr. Huxley escaped the Mists and was facing down the Angels that threatened to destroy Lady Cecelia and the rest of St. Agnes.

	A hundred years or more passed before Jaelle's brother could works his way onto Earth. In [[London]], her disembodied brother spoke to the grieving [[Dr. Sebastian Robarts]] and persuaded him kidnap women and give them forms beyond the limitations of weak and delicate [[flesh]]. These constructions of metal and flesh Robarts called Angels, though intended them for use as weapons of war to invade and conquer. Jaelle's brother was eventually united in body and [[soul]] after [[Dr. Alistair Weldon]], the [[darklord]] of [[Riverbend]], stumbled upon him and [[healed]] him. Whole again, the man once known as Tibor assumed the name of Trueblood. He quickly joined Robarts' side as his [[servant]] and [[assistant]], though in truth Trueblood gave Robarts the orders as the doctor fell further and further into [[madness]]. Robarts worked in a [[copy]] of [[Bryani House]] in the Mists, a place where [[time]] did not flow as it did back on Earth.

	Construction on the Angels continued for fifteen Earth years, during which time Trueblood received from Robarts a preoccupation with the heavens, a preoccupation that led Trueblood to wish to conquer them. For Robarts' mad creations to reach heaven, they needed [[wing]]s. The ability to create functional metal wings was beyond Robarts, so Trueblood recruited and then [[kidnapped]] the [[engineer]] [[Henry Thorpe]]. Robarts became [[obsessed]] with enlisting the aid of [[Dr. Sophie Huxley]], Thorpe's cousin, in placing the finishing touches on his Angels. By the time of her kidnapping, Huxley found her cousin Thorpe's ~~mind addled~~. In the [[temporal distortion]] of [[Bryani-House-of-the-Mists]], he had already constructed wings for the Angels.

In the [[temporal distortion]] of [[Bryani-House-of-the-Mists]], he had already constructed wings for the Angels.

			Meanwhile, Trueblood sent the Angels to wipe out St. Agnes, both to rid it of all Jaelle's Brood living there and as a dry run for his invasion of heaven. However, he was confronted [[Artemis Donovan]] and [[Dirk Penhallow]]. Trueblood [[tempted]] Dirk, an outcast among his family for his own ability to [[curse]], into helping him wipe out the people that had [[betrayed]] him. Although Dirk was in danger of succumbing to Trueblood's [[corruption]], Trueblood's callous [[murder]] of Dirk's sister, [[Claire Penhallow]] whom Trueblood only knew as one of the Children of Jaelle, turned Dirk against him. When Dirk turned on Trueblood, he revealed he could not be hurt by normal [[weapon]]s as a side effect of his cursed loss of identity. Trueblood could not [[injured]] by any mortal weapon, for no weapon could know him.

			In turn, Dirk revealed he carried a weapon that knew Trueblood, for it was the [[knife]] that Jaelle had used to pierce Trueblood's flesh so many years ago. Dirk plunged the knife into Trueblood and cast him out with a curse, just as the Vadoma tribe had done so long before. Although Trueblood [[mortally wounded]] Dirk in return, [[the Mists]] descended upon Trueblood and ripped him asunder. It was then that Trueblood realized he had not used the Mists, but the Mists had used them for their own unknowable agenda.

			As this was happening, Dr. Huxley escaped the Mists and was facing down the Angels that threatened to destroy Lady Cecelia and the rest of St. Agnes. They hesitated to kill Huxley due to their confusing of her with Margaret Robarts. And when Trueblood discorporated, the Angels fell momentarily out of his control. Only Huxley was in a momentary position to command them, and an Angel begged her for the order to destroy themselves. Reluctantly, Huxley gave the order for the Angels to fly out to sea and drown themselves. However, the Mists swallowed the Angels before they finished this order and brought them back to Bryani-House-of-the-Mists, where they remain watching over Dr. Robarts.<ref>4313-4358, 4551-4559</ref>

			Henry Thorpe remained under the thumb of Dr. Weldon, whom tried to coerce Dr. the engineer to grant the disfigured remains of his wife wings as he had to Robarts' Angels before. Thorpe refused even under threat of death, yet he heard a familiar and convincing voice in his head to help Dr. Weldon.
