Very nice. what's the backstory to the character?

The short of it: he's a conundrum. The first book we're working on centers around Tyr's existence: he started out as nothing more than an attack dog, but when they (the protagonists) finally corner him, they find out he's not so mindless after all. There's some more information here if you're interested: http://apocrypha.vigistry.com/tyr.htm The website is still in the process of being remodeled.

Thank you so much!
