A valiant defender of Asgard, Tyr had lost his left hand while binding Fenris, the wolf god, before the mighty Thor was born. However, Tyr has rebelled against Odin because of his bitterness towards Thor's superiority. Tyr has also fought against Surtur, the fire demon, and Seth, the Heliopolitan God of death, in the defense of Asgard. Because of the events of Ragnarok, Tyr is believed to have suffered the same fate that befell the rest of the Asgardians.
