History: Unlike most Jedi Tyr’ll wasn’t taken as a toddler. He was about 9 years old when the Jedi came to his home world. They tested his blood to determine his midichlronian count and were impressed. The next thing he knew he was off to become one of them.

He was taught to always strive to be the best at whatever he was facing. Apparently there were a great number of successful Zabrak Jedi so natural his hopes where high.

The people on his home world remembered well the days of the Iridonians. The Iridonians were Zabraks from the planet Iridonia, the original home world of his people. But many branched out as soon as they discovered the ability to travel the stars. Tyr'll is descended directly from one of the last Iridonian clans of Zabraks. Something his forefathers where determined to keep alive in their family.

When Tyr'll got the chance at the Jedi Academy, he looked up Iridonian Jedi. There weren't many references, but there was one that noted a Sith Lord, Darth Maul was what he went by. He was responsible for the death of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. As Tyr'll searched the databases he discovered that the Iridonian Zabraks were notorious for training assassins and killers, along with having a Sith academy right on the planet! He was aggravated with this, he was always told to be the best he could be and this is what they wanted from him? Another Darth Maul?

He made a silent vow to himself never to become like that man in the holoscreen. Somehow, it was as if his Master knew about this. For he took it upon himself to help Tyr'll accomplish it. Even though Tyr'll was one of two apprentices, he was the one who got the benefits of training for the most part. His Master taught him many things and spent a lot of time with him, it made him feel sorry for the other apprentice, Josmar. But there was little he could do about the situation.

One day he was on his way to consult his Master concerning a few things he had discovered in the achieves. Just a few log entries from a Jedi Master who lived to be 1,036 years old. He was curious as to how this was possible within the Force. He had read of Master Jedi living to great ages, Master Yoda was a prime example of this, living to the ripe old age of 900.

On his way to his master’s study he heard the sound of a lightsaber and a moment later he saw Josmar was running like hell from the room. Tyr'll didn't know what had happened, but the sound of the lightsaber was not a confidence booster. He bolted for the room and stood in awe at the sight of his Master's corpse. He collapsed to his knees as the grief overtook his body. An eerie light filled the room and he looked up. There before him stood the shimmering ghost of his Master. A strange feeling of nirvanna came over him as if he finally understood what it was that he sought out. He knew in his heart that his beloved Master would be with him always . All his questions about extending mortal life within the Force where forgotten as his master instructed him to seek out the Master Dak'tere Ore'dun who would assist him on taking the Trials.

After taking the time to grieve for his Master properly, he sought out the Ewok Jedi Master and spoke to him of what he was told and what he had seen. It was not much longer before Dak'tere administered the Jedi Trials on Tyr'll and he passed them almost effortlessly.

Tyr’ll went on to become a Jedi Master. A few years later, though still young and inexperienced, Tyr'll took on his first two padowan, just like his own Master. This had become standard practice in this time of so few. Before it had been against Jedi Law for a Master to have more than one padowan, but Master Luke Skywalker changed that. At the end of the Clone Wars, almost all the Jedi were murdered and so there were barely any who could be the trainers of the new Jedi. So Luke made it common practice to take more than one student at a time.

Tyr’ll’s youth and clear vision earned him a seat on the Jedi Council as well as seats for his two Padowan learners. With the wisdom of the council Tyr’ll is in charge of the rebellion against his former fellow padowan Josmar. Who in the time since killing their master has become emperor of the republic.
