Tyr Waltas: Difference between revisions

{{Tyr Waltas}}Tyr Waltas is a Ba'ku who was the captain of the [[USS Discovery-C]] until its decommissioning in 2391. At over 240 years of age, he combines a wealth of experience with a reliance upon emotion, instinct and intuition rather than a strict adherence to the rules. Tyr is very casual as a Commanding Officer and affords his crew a wide latitude in order to let them express themselves fully. He is also extremely protective of them, and has a "dark side" that emerges when his friends or family are threatened. Tyr has led a long, fulfilling, and storied lifetime. In that long life, he has lived, loved, lost and hurt. A Captain in Starfleet, a Ba'ku by race, and a poet at heart. With a relatively "quiet" 200 years behind him, he has forsaken his near-immortality for the chance to do what he spent the first 200 years dreaming about: Explore the stars. Since leaving the homeworld, he has lived that dream.  

Decorated 11 times by Starfleet command, he held the rank of Captain prior to his retirement.

He is a master in several forms of martial arts, but a novice at the more difficult aspects in life such as love. He carries the wisdom of 200 years of life, but the innocence of one just starting life's journey. He is an enigma-the antithesis of his peoples' beliefs. He has spent a lifetime carving out his own identity and beliefs; a struggle that continues to this day. He is the proud father of three children.
