S ir Tyros Halfhelm is a hedge knight, not because he lacks skill at arms but because he is a vicious and greedy man prone to murderous rage. Over the years, he has served numerous lords in battle, but his cruelty and violent nature ensured that he never retained a position as a house knight for long. Having grown weary of begging scraps from some lord’s table, Sir Tyros has parlayed his martial skills into a more lucrative endeavor. He has become a bandit.
