Lord Tiberius Dredd was born in the City of Nottinham, in the Protectorate of Wyndsor, to Tyler Amon Dredd and Katarina Elizabeth Steiner Dredd. He is the grandson of the Baron Tiberius Augustus Dredd, Founder of the Brotherhood of the Rose, and Emperor Nicholas Steiner, former Leader of the NWO, and Ruler of the Akavashi Empire.

He fled to Isle of Catalonia as a baby with his mother, to escape the retribution of his grandfather's victorious enemies. His mother would die a few years later of a mysterious illness, and he would fall to the charge of his uncle.

His childhood was spent at his uncle's estate in Middenguard, where he was tutored in everything from mathematics & science to literature & rhetoric. His uncle brought in the finest duelists and strategists to teach him in the ways of war. Mystical energy flows through the blood of the Steiner family, and when he was fifteen, he was sent to Draconia to study the dark arts under the tutilage of a man named Nemedosius. There, he developed an aptitude for thaumaturgy and necromancy.

When he was 22, he returned to Middenguard and received a commission in the army of King Baldur IV's army. He would command a wing of the King's cavalry during the Araby campaign where he would prove to be a cunning strategist. Distinguishing himself by capturing the Sultan of Kazaksum and his loot train, he was given even greater military honors.

While in Araby, he was approached by a stranger. The man only identified himself as Arturo, and he had come to deliver the young man's birthright. He spent the night telling him of his family lineage and destiny. When morning came, he presented him with a signet ring bearing the symbol of a sword piercing a globe, and elven blade which had belonged to his grandfather who's name he bears, and the personal journal of his maternal grandfather, who once ruled a mighty empire. Before leaving the tent, the stranger turned back and their eyes met. "When you are ready to sieze your destiny, they will come."

The campaign in Araby would last another two years. During this time he read through his grandfather's journal, becoming enthralled with its contents. It detailed his involvement with a secret organization called the New World Order, and the empire he had built through conquest and diplomacy. It became clear to him that all the feelings he had ever had as a child about having some sort of greater destiny were more than just fanciful daydreams. The more he read, the more impassioned he became, and the embers of the New World Order were stoked once more.
