Biography -
History:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiresiasIt should be noted that like Arturia, Tiresias exists outside of the Throne of Heroes. Thus, their body is a physical being.
Weapons: Staff, Dragon Teeth, Hydra poison
Personality: One could describe the personality of Tiresias as to be defiant. A being who fought against the conventional knowledge of the world and those gods who both cursed and blessed the blind seer. Someone who simply did as they desired, though more often than not the man or woman had only stated what they believe to be true, and only did what they believed was correct. More often than not they were correct.
Not one to shy away from any subject, after all, they were blinded because they stated a woman had more pleasure than a man during sex, having experienced both sides of this, from their goddess Hera during an argument with her husband. Tiresias simply cares about seeking the “truth’ of the world, regardless of where it takes him. A force that sees the fate of man who simply wishes to produce his own Tiresias does not back down when threatened. True to the gift of prophetic power, he stands unflinching before the fury of kings or gods or goddesses. His speech may be barbed, his message horrifying, but Tiresias' dedication to the truth is uncompromising. For his suffering, his piety, and his devotion to prophetic truth, Tiresias emerges as a powerful — even admirable — character. Thusly, hardly is he able to state what he doesn’t believe as the truth.
An unfalsifiable belief in the self, regardless of what occurs.

Class Skills
Presence Concealment: D
Comparable to a spy halfway through basic training. Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. A low ranking of Presence Concealment unbecoming for an Assassin to the level that a Servant can infer one's presence at once, so long as they are paying attention to their surroundings. Not a true “assassin”, but due to his occupation for seven of his lives to be the Attendant to the King of Thebes, many a time had Tiresias committed acts of espionage and intrigue within his court. Anything to the benefit of Thebes, after all.
Territory Creation - Replaced by the “Temple of Hera” Noble Phantasm
Item Construction- B
Adept in the creation of many potions, though due to their personality these tends towards more risque creations.
Personal Skills

Possesses Class Skills from both the Assassin and Caster classes.
High-Speed Divine Words: A
High-Thaumaturgy-level Magecraft can be cast at the speed of Single-Action spells. Locked while a male.
Revelation: B
Different stories were told of the cause of his blindness, the most direct being that he was simply blinded by the gods for revealing their secrets. However, due to their blindness, they were given the ability to see through the “eyes of the bird”, and thus being able to “see what is to come”. He inherited a sort of 'wisdom' that manifested itself as a strange connection with the world. He is able to interpret the song of birds, the caress of the wind upon blades of grass and the thrum of mana in the air as warnings or advice on 'what is the best path' or 'what will come next'. Luck can, however, interfere with this.
Clairvoyance: B+
The ability to “see what the birds see”. A form of divination from the ancient greek belief of Augury, which they are credited in creating, that allows her to increase her view of the world from a distance away without needing to exist in a location. In addition, in combination with Revelation, limited future sight is possible. Tiresias the name became a title for the highest rank of seer due to his influence upon the field of study.
Noble Phantasms
Name Caduceus, Protector of Travels
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: - C
Description: - Tiresias was the high-priestess of Hera, and the reason why the Caduceus had been closely connected with her, despite its origins beginning with Hermes. The Priestesses of Hera adopted the staff to themselves for their desire to The Caduceus is an object that is able to protect those who travel. To guide those without fail to their destination.
Whilst a priest of Zeus, Tiresias had seen two snakes mating and had decided to hit them with a stick, causing the once male Tiresia to transform into a woman for seven years, and to change his patron god to the goddess Hera as her High-Priestess as punishment for “her” transaction.. These snakes and stick had become his staff. The snakes themselves are alive and slither up and down the shaft of the stick, though this facts eems not to bother Tiresia, effectively using the object as a staff, even if but ceremonially
The true power of the staff — The Caduceus, as a staff of Hera instead of Hermes, is able to purify anything it touches, destroying curses and impurities within the confines of the object it comes into contact with, similar to a certain English bandit’s bow in reverse, acting as a filter of sorts for “that which shouldn’t be there”.
In addition to this staff is "held" by the owner, they shall revert to their female self.
Name: Hydra Blood, An Arrow to End a Journey
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-divine
Rank: A+
Description: A single arrow containing the blood of the hydra that had finally killed Tiresias as he had insulted the god Apollo as he drank from his spring, breathing his final breath as he entered the afterlife. Even death could not stop him from granting mortals knowledge that only the gods should know, offering heroes information and tips from beyond the grave.
The single arrow holds a powerful poison that is capable of dealing heavy damage against all things divine, maddening them into a shriled version of themselves until they gift away their godship to walk amongst the humans, or perish from the pain it causes. Of course, it is just a single arrow’s worth, but even that is enough to cause extreme damage to those who pride themselves gods. Against non-gods the poison is still potent, but the effect is amplified against divinity.
Noble Phantasms
Name Temple of Hera, The Ground I Worship Shall Follow
Type: Anti-Unit
Rank: - D
Description: A form of territory creation. During her time as a female, Tiresias constructed a temple in honor of her patron goddess Hera.

Unique to this property of this summoning as an Assassin and Caster, the workshop is able to invert the world within its confines, preventing detection, as it was said to be “seen by only those are deemed worthy”
