King Tiburon is the leader Zora tribe during the Epoch Era. A deeply nationalistic monarch he seeks to restore his tribes independence from Hyrule and make the Zora the most dominant race among the land. Tiburon has a reputation of being hot-blooded, and doesn't refrain from making his voice heard. Nevertheless he is still seen a pragmatic leader who is willing to use whatever means he needs to reach his ends. The father of Prince Mako, he has a deep compassion for his son, as well as for his people.
Early in the Epoch Era the theft of the Hyrulean Trust Key gave him the opportunity he needed to break his alliance with the Hylians and reassert dominion over the Zora's traditional lands. However when he was falsely accused of the trusts theft he found his own key stolen by agents of King Dromand, sparking war between the two nations. Now in the mist of the Epoch War, the decisions and alliances forged by Tiburon will affect the course of history.
