Biography

Tyr Anasazi was a member of the Nietzscheans species thus was a genetically engineered offshoot of mankind and was a member of the Kodiak Pride. His lineage was a notable one as he was stated to be out of Victoria by Barbarossa and his family line traced back from Temujin. It was known that the Kodiak Pride had a special role in Nietzschean society as they were entrusted with the protection of the mummified remains of the Progenitor; Drago Museveni. Tyr was stated to had seen Drago's remains as a child as they were enshrined in a fasthold as part of the Kodiak's pacts with the other Prides who were supposed to ensure their safety. This was until the Drago Kazov Pride finally declared in the post-Nietzschean Uprising period that they the true keepers of the Progenitor. This saw the Drago Kazov and a number of other prides including the Orca Pride attacking the Kodiaks. Tyr Anasazi was present at the time when the Kodiak's fought bravely against their enemies with the foolish hope that their allies would come and support them but the other Prides simply abandoned them. Those of the Kodiak Pride that were not killed were simply displaced or exiled with Tyr seeing his mother killed due to her being too slow. In the aftermath, Tyr adopted the life of becomign a mercenary and gave up dream of becoming an Alpha. (Episode: Double Helix) As such, due to the inter-clan conflict that led to the destruction of his Pride, Tyr become one of the few if only survivors of the Kodiaks. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

It was known that he adapted well to the life of a mercenary where he became highly skilled in the profession. It was suspected by some that he was doing this in order to prove his genetic traits so that he could be accepted into another Pride. He was hired by the Nightsider Gerentex during the attempted salvage of the High Guard vessel Andromeda Ascendant. Tyr was kept in stasis but awakened when Captain Dylan Hunt prevented the salvagers from claiming the ship and decided that he wanted to restore the Systems Commonwealth. Thus, Gerentex had hired Tyr along with a small group of mercenaries to eliminate the threat. Tyr easily managed to dispatch the android crew that remained and managed to cause Captain Hunt to flee from the bridge. Afterwards, Anasazi was tasked with breaching the computer core but was ambushed by Hunt who managed to defeat as well as capture one Tyr's fellow mercenaries. Tyr later commented to his employer Gerentex that Dylan Hunt was waging a guerilla battle and had full knowledge of the terrain which was why he was difficult to eliminate. Upon learning that the Andromedas AI was attempting to take control of the Eureka Maru, Gerentek abandoned the ship along with a number of his crew which included Tyr Anasazi. The Nightsider attempted to destroy the Andromeda Ascendant by pushing it back into the black hole. Facing the possibility of death, Tyr attempted to enter into stasis in the hope of surviving but Captain Hunt came and proposed a solution which involved Anasazi taking the role of the vessels fire controls officer in order to launch forty Nova bombs into the black hole thus reversing its effects and allowing the Andromeda Ascendant to pull free. He accompanied the rat-tag crew in rescuing recovering the Eureka Maru from Gerentex and attempted to kill his former employer but was stopped by Captain Hunt. Afterwards, he decided to join the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant when Dylan Hunt decided to restore the Systems Commonwealth. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

Background

Personality and attributes

As was the case with most Nietzscheans, Tyr was focused simply on survival and stated thats what all he cared about in the end. (Episode: D Minus Zero) He claimed that he cared little about the universe; it did not matter even if all the suns in the cosmos died so long as he was there to see it and survived was all that was important to him. When he joined the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant on their mission, his first question was what he got from it. He also did not believe in leaving his enemies alive. (Episode: An Affirming Flame) As such, he was also known to always hold a back up plan in case his primary goal failed. (Episode: Double Helix)

Furthermore, as he was concerned with obtaining power, he was marvelled by the fact that the Andromeda Ascendant carried forty Nova bombs and commented on the power available to the ship and how it could be used. He was respected the works of Frederich Nietzsch which he believed were the "right book". (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

On Captain Hunt during their first encounter, Anasazi commented that Dylan was a survivor and that he would not be easy to kill. Whilst this was the case, in a later fight he told Captain Hunt that he was incapable of defeating him as he was self assured of his own combat skills as well as superiority. Afterwards, he commented that Dylan was a man of high ideals which would be a problem. Despite this being the case, he decided to join Captain Hunt's crew on the account that it would be something different after working for a great number of fools. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

Similar to many of his kind, he initially held an aversion and hatred of Rev Bem due to the fact he was a Magog. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

Powers and abilities

By the time he was an adult, Tyr was already a skilled combatant and described as being a veteran mercenary which was why he was expensive to hire. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)

During his assignment on the Andromeda Ascendant, he made use of a rifle and had a hidden blade by his boots. (Episode: An Affirming Flame)
