Tyr was a Jedi Master of the Weequay species (a male), who fought as a Jedi General for both the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
Tyr, a Weequay who exhibited sensitivity to the Force, underwent training by the Jedi Order to harness his abilities, eventually achieving the esteemed rank of Jedi Master. Having been raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Master Tyr diverged from the religious practices of his people on Sriluur, who were devoted to the Quay totem. Master Tyr, who wore his long black hair braided tightly, chose a young Human Initiate named Pix to become his Padawan.
When the Clone Wars began in 22 BBY between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Master Tyr was promoted to Senior Jedi General within the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, contributing his skills with a lightsaber to the war effort. Deployed to the campaign on Thustra, Master Tyr, accompanied by his Padawan Pix, collaborated with Master Tyffix and his Padawan, Cal, in an attempt to dissuade the Sephi from joining the Confederacy. While Masters Tyr and Tyffix were discussing battle plans with their clone troopers inside a battlefield command center, a suicide bomber attacked their tent. Although both Masters perished, Master Tyr managed to use the Force to evacuate both Padawans from the tent.
Tyr, as a Jedi Master, possessed considerable skill in utilizing Force powers, which he demonstrated during the Battle of Thustra when he used the Force to push his Padawan, Pix, away from the command tent just before it was destroyed by a suicide bombing. His ability to sense the impending danger and react swiftly enough to save Pix demonstrates a strong aptitude for precognition.
