Theories:
C) In a shocking twist, it turns out that Sir Tiffy's kindly, eccentric persona has been a ruse to gain our trust all along. He is actually a ruthless Kinshra agent who managed to penetrate high into the ranks of the Temple Knights without arousing suspicion, explaining why an order of such power and knowledge is unable to thwart the Kinshra. (Betrayal at Falador sadly seems to rule this one out, though it does shed some... interesting light on TIffy. A more Machiavellian contrast to Amik's guilt and reluctance)

D) It's a dev oversight

Maybe Sir Tiffy has been using a cosmetic override all this time and armour is actually black? :P

Machiavellian...yes. If he was trying to get the Kinshra back into the old power sharing system that was there before then his actions would make perfect sense. Give the Saradominist enough rope to hang themselves and all the while search for the letter and sword of Radalin. As well as the Banner. Finding those would make it a checkmate move for such a Machiavellian spy master, and no one would see it coming!

Mod Stu confirmed on Twitter that it is intended.


Just looked at the tweets and it looks like Stu actually put special examines on Tiffy and the bench. (Unfortunately it seems that, to Stu's disappointment, it's actually impossible to get close enough to examine Tiffy.)

The examines are "Keep calm and have a cup of tea." (for Tiffy)

and "This is fine." for the bench.


So the joke - As I suspected after you said it was WAD - is simply that Tiffy is that stoic. Stiff upper lip, I guess, chaps.

Tiffy just finished single-handedly killing every Kinshra member in Falador shortly before we arrived, that's why we don't see any there. Tiffy is now having a cup of tea to celebrate his victory.

If Tiffy can fight General Khazard and Hazeel at the same time, surely a few thousand Kinshra soldiers should be no issue. Tiffy is pretty much immortal anyway, reduce him to 0LP and he'll just eat to heal back up to full.
You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

What if TIffy actually is immortal (somewhere along the lines of Zu Zu's) and the reason the Temple Knights have persisted as long as they have is due to his constant presence on the world? To our knowledge, they already did so by accident once, though with the notable downside of vampirification, so what's to stop them from stumbling into it again?

Not my most convincing theory, but I think it's an interesting one to consider.

A preposterous notion, what what! That is obviously Tiffy's spiffy evil twin, Sir Jiffy. He prefers chamomile over Earl Gray, the scoundrel.

Perhaps in that Temple Knight quest that got shelved, it would have revealed that Tiffy began working with the Kinshra once he realized what Sir Amik/the other temple knights were up to, and was going to help us be the resistance to the Saradominist plot?...

...But that didn't happen. So this is canon.

Sir Amik isn't "up to" anything. The Temple Knights, perhaps, but Amik would be a dupe if so. Please don't buy into Solanumtinkr's lore-bending narrative.

Even if Sir Amik is a front for someone else, he'd still have to be fairly dense not to realise he was being used. He is either in charge or he is not. If not then he is a stalking horse, a liar and/or a blind fool, the worse accusation that can be levelled at White Knight. Or he is a party to it in some way. There is no way for him to not be up to his grubby little eyebrows in any large scale skulduggery. Even if only unwillingly, e.g. blackmail.
