Tyr Felidoron

Tyr Felidoron was a male criminal and operative of the Merquise Syndicate.

Born on in 101 ABY, Tyr left the planet at fifteen in the company of smugglers. Learning to fight, shoot, and protect himself in scuffles with other gangs, he eventually came into the employment of a variety of crime bosses as an enforcer and bodyguard. Surviving several fights that killed less able men, he rapidly developed the combat skills needed to survive in a treacherous environment.

In 135 ABY, Tyr began working for Ara Merquise and her nascent outfit. He remained with Ara as her most trusted enforcer and soldier; he was initially skeptical of her trust in former Sith Lord Tak Sakaros, but Tak and Tyr eventually developed mutual respect for one another's skills. After Ara died, Tyr remained with the Syndicate as leadership passed first to Tak, then Ventresca Tan. Under Tan's leadership, Tyr became commander of the Merquise Syndicate Elite Guard. He and Alluria Quinn trained all new recruits together, and while Alluria was technically Tyr's superior as the Syndicate's Operations Vigo, she greatly respected Tyr and relied on his advice.

When Alluria left the Syndicate in 146 ABY, Tyr replaced her as Operations Vigo. Like Alluria and Tak before him, he earned the loyalty and respect of the soldiers and operatives under his command. Tyr remained with the Syndicate until he was killed in action during a confrontation with a rival organization some time before 156 ABY.

Skills and abilities
Though not Force-sensitive, Tyr was equal or superior to everyone else in the Syndicate other than Tak Sakaros in hand-to-hand combat and blaster use. He studied Var Shek under Tak and became adept at the discipline. Because of his extensive experience, he was alert to danger and could usually detect any threats in his vicinity.

Appearance and personality
Tyr stood 1.7 meters tall and had a burly, muscular build. He wore his thick brown hair long, tied into a ponytail, and had light brown eyes. He had green facial tattoos.

Loyal by nature, Tyr bounced from employer to employer looking for someone he respected enough to serve indefinitely. He was very fond of Ara Merquise and distraught over her murder. He continued to serve the Merquise Syndicate because he respected Tak Sakaros, and remained after Tak's death when Ventresca Tan made it clear he would continue Tak's policy of devoting resources to the people of the nearby Entertainment District.

Tyr had no hesitation about hurting or killing his enemies, but usually did not kill without a good reason. He pushed his Elite Guards hard in training, but his men respected him.
