Tyvar Gendarian was the commander of the Blue Shields, a religious fighting cult, that travelled on the Resolute. He was also the Mortal Sword of Togg, but claimed that this was only a title since Togg had withdrawn. Tyvar's life was dedicated to saving lives, the last dictate imposed by Togg before his retreat. He was highly motivated and upbeat, and always ready with a slap of camaraderie on the back.
