Tyr was born and raised in one of Skyrim's small townships. The small town of Horgr had been built in a poor place, it was a favoured breeding grounds of frost trolls in winter and goblins in spring. Because of this, Tyr grew up witnessing, and participating, in his fair share of fighting. His first battle, fought at the tender age of nine, was between he, three of his friends, and ten bandits who were planning to rob the town during night. Tyr learned a life lesson during that battle, righteousness and bravery doesn't stand up to battleaxes and arrows. He was forced to watch as his friends were butchered, and received a scar across his face from a battleaxe, and would have suffered worse if his father had not arrived and slew the bandits. The day after, his father gave him his first weapon, a sword. Tyr began to prove great skill as a warrior, defeating 80% of the fights with older boys he commenced, the other 20%, he got beaten so bad the town healer had to send for help. One of these times, the town mage decided to teach him a bit of magic. Tyr had little patience for most schools, but found the school of Conjuration the most practical for him. Tyr grew up to become the town leader, a profession many found to be little suited for him. However, he soon proved to be an effective leader, organizing the town's fighters into an organized force, and allowing the frost trolls and goblins to breed nearby, shrinking attacks on the town in the long run. One unfortunate evening, a necromancer burst into his great hall and demanded Tyr hand over power to him. Tyr refused, and the necromancer launched a plague on the village. The necromancer proved to be lacking in common sense, and was butchered immediately after releasing the plague, having not done the intelligent thing and left before doing so. Tyr left Skyrim to retrieve medical supplies and healers for the village. When he returned to the border, he found the border guards dead. He continued his journey back to his village, but was arrested upon being found lacking in a border pass. He found in prison, much to his horror, Horgr had been devastated by the plague, and soon after, the now crazed undead horde the necromancer once controlled set upon the village, killing all, and razing all the buildings. Tyr and the men he brought with him on his quest were sentenced to death. After a few weeks in prison, Tyr was all that remained of the original party. His dreams plagued him with dragons, and his daytime experiences plagued by the crazed old man he lived near rambling about dragonborn. He pledged, if he was to escape prison, he would avenge his people, and by extension, all the oppressed peoples of skyrim.
