Tylar, a smuggler of the male persuasion and belonging to the Human species, found himself incarcerated within the Imperial Prison on Dathomir amidst the tumultuous times of the Galactic Civil War.
Before its shutdown on December 15, 2011, Tylar existed as a non-player character featured in Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game from 2003, which was a video game created by Sony Online Entertainment and brought to the public by LucasArts. With the arrival of the "Chapter 3" update on September 27, 2006, Tylar was integrated into the game alongside the new smuggling missions.
