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 Scandinavian God of Combat, Tyr , and the term for a prehistoric Native American culture, the Anasazi .

He is the last known surviving member of the once-powerful Kodiak Pride of the Nietzscheans. 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 approximately 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 , Seamus Harper , Trance Gemini and Rev Bem .

In season one Tyr married Freya, First Daughter of Orca Pride and she gave birth to their son, Tamerlane Anasazi. Tyr Anasazi was separated from her shortly after the Consummation of his arranged marriage and they met again more than a year later. Tamerlane Anasazi was the genetic Reincarnation of the legendary Nietzschean Progenitor, Drago Museveni. This attracted the attention of the Genites , a group of fanatical genetic purists who sought to destroy genetically enhanced superhumans. Freya died in the conflict with the Genites and their son Tamerlane Anasazi was sent away secretly.

In the season three episode "And your heart will fly away", Tyr's former lover, a Nietzschean woman whom they rescue, named Desiree D'lene, is revealed to be Medea Zimri , out of Isabella by Zarathustra, also of the once-powerful but now fallen Kodiak Pride, though this fact they both state their intention to conceal, when they part at the end of the episode.

In the beginning of season 4, he tricks other Nietzschean Prides into thinking he is the genetic reincarnation of legendary Nietzschean Progenitor Drago Museveni, becomes their leader 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 Andromeda crewmember Beka Valentine.

He bargains with the Spirit of the Abyss: If he is set free, they can use Beka as a spy on Dylan. Once the Spirit of the Abyss sealed its influence inside Beka Valentine, Andromeda Captain Dylan Hunt, Nietzschean officer Telemachus Rhade and Seamus Harper arrived and shot him in the back. His body fell into the abyss (a canyon with endless darkness) thus ending his life.
