(Mystery acquaintance voiced by Mark Hamill)

For three years Tirek has been locked up in his cage in Tartarus, never able to even visit any part of the place. Just stay in the one place stuck in a cage and nothing to do but imagine what he would have done to all the miserable ponies when and if he ever gets out.

However, the same day as when the six pony legends and the Pony of Shadows escaped, Tirek gets a visit from some creature from his past, and he does not like anything that he has to say.
