Javis Tyrr, a male Human journalist, operated in the time period following the [Second Galactic Civil War].(/article/second_galactic_civil_war) In the year 43.5 ABY, Tyrr found himself in the Temple Precinct when Jedi Knight Jysella Horn—newly afflicted with a enigmatic madness—engaged in a duel against her friends Yaqeel Saav'etu and Bazel Warv. Tyrr meticulously documented the confrontation, as well as Horn's subsequent apprehension by Galactic Alliance Security personnel. Due to the widespread success of his reporting on this incident, Tyrr was rewarded with his own weekly program, entitled Javis Tyrr Presents: The Jedi Among Us. He later tracked Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel to the Indigo Tower, where Lina Zev and Karn Valanti were impersonating them. He swiftly uncovered their ruse by noticing inconsistencies in their vocal patterns and the absence of Fel's distinctive scar on his double.
Due to Tyrr's habit of interfering, Fel started using the code name "Mynock" to refer to the journalist.
Tyrr was present at the Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition when Jedi Knight Natua Wan also succumbed to Force psychosis. He filmed the resulting chaos, while simultaneously attempting to secure an interview with Jaina Solo.
Tyrr also successfully acquired intelligence regarding Seff Hellin's confinement within the Jedi Temple, which he then disseminated to the public. This action triggered an irate declaration from Chief of State Natasi Daala and also exposed the clandestine organization known as Darkmeld.
Many held Tyrr in contempt, with some journalists considering him a disgrace to their profession. As the Trial of Tahiri Veila commenced, Chief of Staff Wynn Dorvan discovered that Tyrr had engaged in unlawful espionage during his employment with Moff Drikl Lecersen. Leveraging this information, Daala instructed Dorvan to eliminate Tyrr. Shortly thereafter, Tyrr was apprehended for illegal espionage.
His preferred beverage was Crème D'Infame.
