==Biography==
{{Quote|Have you ever wondered what it is that calls to you in that void of memory, where the edge of the past infects your present? It's an itch you can't scratch, isn't it? Well maybe you can." <br> "You think I am one of them? That all Exo are—" <br> "Lord Felwinter, I know what you are. And you are no Warmind or even one of its puppets. Come. [...] Hmm. Warmind. You are certainly as stubborn as one.|Lord Timur and Lord Felwinter}}<ref name="LordTimur"></ref>

Timur joined the Iron Lords to end the reigns of terror wrought by the [[Warlord]]s, a tyrannical group of Risen that preceded the Guardians. While exploring the [[Mothyards]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]], Timur encountered the Warlord [[Felwinter]], in whose territory Timur was trespassing. From the mysterious Exo, Timur learned of the existence of [[SIVA]] and recruited Felwinter into the Iron Lords. Soon after, Timur and the other Iron Lords made their headquarters at [[Felwinter Peak]], which was Felwinter's former seat as a Warlord.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Felwinter_Peak|Felwinter Peak]]''</ref> Intrigued by SIVA's potential, Timur devoted himself to tracking down the technology. Whether by himself or dragging more of his fellow Lords along, he followed every lead on [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]]'s lost secrets he could find.<ref name="LordTimur"/> During the Great Ahamkara Hunt, Timur was attacked by an Ahamkara which he then slew, which mocked Timur as it died about his obsession with Clovis Bray.<ref name="Dragonslayers"/>

However, like [[Toland|several]] [[Osiris|other]] Warlocks, his attempts to understand and find SIVA drove Timur into madness.<ref name="DA3">''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#Ghost Fragment: The Dark Age 3|Ghost Fragment: The Dark Age 3]]''</ref> He became incapable of focusing, and making wild assumptions, but nonetheless had flashes of brilliance.<ref name="LordTimur"/> Even [[Colovance]], a student of his who greatly admired him, admitted that his search took him over the edge.<ref name="DA3"/>

Eventually, his search bore fruit as the Lords discovered SIVA's location. However, upon reaching what would become the [[Plaguelands]], Rasputin's defenses and SIVA's constructs, the Lords were almost eliminated. Timur was one of the nine to make it to the replication chamber, only to be sealed inside during the battle and eventually killed.

The newest generation of Iron Lords occasionally honor his memory by taking up one of his old artifacts. As Timur once used it to turn entire hordes of enemies against each other, they can now use it to do the same, albeit on a smaller scale.<ref name="LordTimur"/>

==Trivia==
*Timur was historically a Turco-Mongol conqueror and the founder of the Timurid Empire.
*The [[Rarity|legendary]] [[Hand Cannon|hand cannon]] [[Timur's Lash]], named after the weapon he once owned<ref name="LordTimur"/>, was available in the early version of the Iron Banner.
*Though Timur shared many similarities to [[Toland]] and [[Osiris]] in having an obsession that drove him to near madness, he was never exiled by his fellow Iron Lords, though it did worry them, as his tireless research into SIVA bore fruit.
*Timur is most likely named after the late medieval Turco-Mongol conqueror, Timur (1336-1405).
