Backstory/Timeline

1. 214704.15: Tyr Waltas is born on the Ba'ku homeworld
2. 214704.15: 237504.04: Tyr spends a majority of his life on the Ba'ku homeworld, studying music and, much to his parents' dismay, Starfleet. He becomes an accomplished guitarist but spends most of his time looking up at the stars, dreaming of the wonders that are out there.
3. 237504.04: Tyr's father, Gyruld, is killed during the Son'a attempt to remove the Ba'ku from his home planet. Tyr and his mother Lyntha are rescued by the Enterprise-E and her crew. Crushed by his father's death and disillusioned with the Ba'ku's shunning of technology and inability to defend themselves, Tyr applies to Starfleet Academy by sending his application via Lieutenant Commander Worf.
4. 238001.XX: Tyr has a romantic liason with Leonna Sovhar, a Talarian woman, during Nekkar's wedding. The two bond through their loneliness, and spend the night together. The next morning, Leonna was gone, never to be seen again.
5. 238007.XX: Tyr becomes romantically involved with Merigold Kitiganzibi. Tyr had flirted with her in the past (unsuccessfully), but made his feelings known to her on the Daris II mission. Merigold was infected with a virus that threatened to kill her. Merigold escaped from sickbay to die, leaving Tyr her pounch of merigold and sunflower seeds as a memento. Risking his life, Tyr followed her and found her. With the aide of Doctor Yavanna he created a mental link with her. He entered her mind and protected her from the dark memories of what she had been forced to do by the virus. Tyr was seriously wounded as well, and the two bonded during the healing process. Shortly after the mission Tyr reaffirmed his feelings to Merigold in person, and the two became involved and began a relationship together.
6. 238012.08: Tyr proposes to Merigold KitiganZibi on the Ba'ku homeworld. She accepts, but the engagement is short-lived. Choosing duty over love, Merigold breaks off the engagement. This nearly destroys Tyr and he transfers off the Constitution to escape the pain
7. 238102.08: While commanding the USS Discovery, Tyr is confronted by Nekkar's uncle, Kho-Lak, who has brought with him a Half-Talarian girl. Tyr is told that Leonna, the girl's mother, was killed in a border dispute, and her foster father no longer feels that she is safe. Kho-Lak turns Daisha over to him, and tells Tyr that he is her father. Tyr begins to bond with his new half-Talarian, half-Ba'ku daughter.
8. 238111.XX: After a failed relationship with a young Science Officer, Tyr is determined to avoid women in general. Ironically, he encounters Eden Redstone, a half-Vulcan Security Officer. Redstone goes out of her way to attempt to stop his daughter's abduction, and builds a bond with her. She gradually breaks down Tyr's walls and he is slowly becomes enamored with her. During the Proenok mission, Tyr and Eden pose as a married couple to infiltrate an alien faction. Though at first the deception is strictly for the mission, they realize that there is something far beyond their assigned roles. The two begin to explore their feelings for each other. As their relationship deepens, Eden is captured and tortured by a vicious killer. She's eventually rescued, and both realize their love for each other kept them both alive and sane. Eden tells Tyr that she loves him. During her recovery, Tyr cuts his hair to differentiate his looks from the shape-shifting killers. Eden, realizing his sacrifice, proposes to him. Tyr accepts.

Later, on a mission to the Camelot system, Eden is tragically killed in an attempt to save an innocent life. In a final mental burst sent through their link, Eden gives Tyr the strength to move on..without her.
