Tycheron Opaleus is a Maracoorian palace funcionary and courtier who served as the personal chronicler and public relations counsel to the Bvasil of Maracoor. His family has served the Bvasil for four generations, and it is the job of Tycheron to record the legend of the current Bvasil into the histories of Maracoor.
In The Oracle of Maracoor, Tycheron and the Bvasil, faked their deaths and escaped the city after Skedeland attacked the capital. Now posing as nephew and uncle, the two began a pilgrimage to High Chora hoping to locate the Oracle of Maracoor in the hour of Maracoor’s need as well as get the Fist of Mara out of the city. The two end up meeting Lucikles and his family in High Chora, and after getting Rain and company in tow, all of them travel to the Tower in the Clouds and meet the Oracle, who makes the Bvasil fly away in his hot air balloon to rid the country of the Fist of Mara and save the Maracoorians, therefore abdicating his role as Bvasil, making Tycheron the one to have to travel back to the capital and announce the abdication.
