Tyr

Tyr is one of the Titanic watchers. He once resided at the Temple of Order, but is absent during the time of Loken's rebellion. It is said that no indications of struggle or guardians are present. Tyr is the only one of the Keepers left by the Titans not to appear in the Ulduar complex.

Watcher Tyr was not in Ulduar when adventurers finally freed the titan city from Yogg-Saron's influence. Tyr's current status and location are a mystery.

Myth
The story of Tyr slipped into memory long ago, when the young race of humans struggled to survive using the limited supplies provided to them by the parents who had abandoned them. They occasionally took to gathering around a fire whilst trying to read from scrolls telling of ancient heroes and leaders – tales from the civilization that had cast these creatures out. One of these scrolls spoke of a great leader, a paragon of order and justice, who sacrificed his right hand in a fight against an unfathomable evil. Although it was within this hero's power to fix his hand after the fighting had ended, the hero instead chose to replace it with a closed fist made of the purest silver. In this way, the hero impressed upon those who followed him that true order and justice can only be accomplished through personal sacrifice.

In Dawn of the Aspects it is revealed that Tyr lost his hand while fighting Galakrond. His attacker, known to most as the Father of Dragons, was a giant proto-drake deformed from eating his own kind, trying to fulfill ever-lasting hunger. Tyr forged an alliance with the proto-dragons:, Alexstrasza, Ysera, Neltharion,Malygos, and Nozdormu. The dragons, lead by Tyr, fought with Galakrond. When he lost his hand and later defeated him, they honed their strengths without the aid of the keeper. It was after this event that they became known as the five aspects and chose to hide. Tyr had always seen bravery in the dragons, and it was the reason he chose to fight alongside them against Galakrond. It was later revealed in this book that Tyr's original weapon was a warhammer.
