Tyr Anasazi out of Victoria by Barbarossa is a Nietzschean character in the television series Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, played by actor Keith Hamilton Cobb. The name Tyr Anasazi is composed of the name of the old germanic god of combat, Tyr, and the term for a prehistoric native american culture, the Anasazi.
He is the last known surviving member of the Kodiak Pride. After his pride was betrayed, Tyr was captured and sold by slavers to work in diamond mines. One day the mines caved in and he was buried 200 metres underground, but he escaped. He became a mercenary and was secretly hired by a Nightsider, Gerentex to secure the presumed lost High Guard warship Andromeda Ascendant with the crew of the Eureka Maru.
Following this incident, he joined Captain Dylan Hunt in his quest for a restored Commonwealth alongside the Maru's crew: Beka Valentine, Seamus Harper, Trance Gemini and Rev Bem.
In season one Tyr married Freya of Orca Pride and she gave birth to their son, Tamerlane. Tyr was separated from her shortly after the consummation of his marriage and they met again more than a year later. Tamerlane was the genetic reincarnation of the Nietzschean progenitor, Drago Museveni. This attracted the attention of the Genites, a group of genetic purists who sought to destroy genetically enhanced humans. Freya died in the conflict with the Genites and Tamerlane was sent away secretly.
In season 3, he tricks other Nietzschean Prides into thinking he is the reincarnation of Drago Museveni and left the Andromeda because his people were working with the Abyss. He then looked for the Star Map to the Route of Ages and ultimately ended up in an alternate universe with Beka. He bargains with the Abyss: if he is set free, they can use Beka as a spy on Dylan. Once the Abyss sealed its influence inside Beka, Dylan, Rhade and Harper arrived and shot him in the back. His body fell into the abyss (a canyon with endless darkness) thus ending his life.
