Actually Triforcer is like one of my oldest characters, 2nd after Trigunman, he's probably been around longer than your team, no spoofing.
But honestly, Triforcer is actually more like an urban legend...
Kinda like Santa Claus...
He shows up out of the blue, wears a fancy robe and hands out lots of neat and fun red boxes to all the good little n00bs here at Ultima!
