Tieh is recognized as a priest who was originally raised and tutored by Cheiron, a tall gentleman with black hair who resided on a mountain alongside Tieh. Consequently, Tieh acquired numerous magical abilities, including magic capable of pacifying spirits and spells that teleport characters to safety. Being a frail character, Tieh loses his strength after casting spells and must rest to recover. He possesses extensive knowledge of the continent and is able to advise Lakushi and Boice when they encounter trouble. Tieh wears various magical amulets and is sometimes depicted with a tall woman with blonde, curly hair, who is either his sister or his fiancee (further details are available in the novels). His name may be derived from Tieh Kuan Yin, the Chinese goddess of mercy.
