Tỳr is a major character in the Norse Era of the God of War franchise.
He is the Aesir God of War, Law, Justice, and Honor, the son of Odin and Hróðr, and the brother of Thor, Heimdall, and Baldur.
Despite being a God of War, Tyr was an extremely benevolent deity, in contrast to most Gods in the series. He always had a lot of curiosity regarding other cultures, wanting to learn more about them, and being loved by people because of this. Because of this, he created the Lake of Nine in Midgard, which allowed easier access through all Nine Realms by Towers.
He was voiced by Ben Prendergast.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- He is a very nice Aesir God, unlike most in the series who are villains or just self-absorbed jerks, with Tỳr not only being very nice but also taking his role as a deity seriously, which made him loved by the people who worshipped him.
- He always shared the knowledge he gathered from other realms and mythologies with people.
- He, unlike other Gods of War, used his "war powers" on behalf of defending himself and others.
- Thanks to him, the Giants sealed off the access to Jötunheim, which prevented Thor and Odin from killing the Johotun.
- The Unity Stone Tỳr used would help Kratos and Atreus to go to Jötunheim and spread Freya's ashes.
- He saved the Nine Realms from Garm, sacrificing his arm to do it and seal him in Hel. From what Freya says, it is clear Garm was an extremely dangerous threats to the Realms and reality itself.
- He doesn't suffer from insufficient characterization for appearing to be just what was described of him while he is on-screen: an empathetic, benevolent God who wishes the best for everybody.
- He laments he wasn't in the final battle and wishes he could've made a difference.
- He offers words of comfort to Freya and Mimir, reminding them of their own heroic deeds.
- Tỳr had an indirect good influence on Kratos. He made him realize how Gods, who Kratos only knew to be villains and jerks undeserving of sympathy, which pretty much fueled his original vengeful thoughts, could be good too, if they wanted, heavily influencing Kratos's change for the better.
- He invited Kratos to partake in the trials of Valhalla in order to face his past as the Ghost of Sparta.
- When Kratos asked why Tỳr would help him, he replies "Because I can", showing that he wishes to help Kratos out of compassion.
- While Kratos undertook the trials of Valhalla, Tỳr would consistently provide Kratos with emotional support, encouraging him not to give up and helping him come to terms with his past by making Kratos understand that the Spartan's past actions were not always villainous.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- Since all of his best deeds are only described and happen completely off-screen, he fails the admirable standards of the work to Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, due to them participating in the final battle against Odin, but he helped Kratos forget his last misdeeds in Valhalla which is a pivotal step, so this is more minor.
Trivia[]
- Tyr, alongside Atreus are the only God of War heroes to be Near Pure Good.
