Tir-D-yar

"We serve only out of the question; Whats in it for us? It is that rule that has ensured I have survived this blasted war. I have faced the survivor of Reach, the blades of woe and the lone survivor driven by honor. [laughs] Also, I was the one who broke your little friend's banshee before it went into service."

"No, you killed Ryil... Die!"

- Stel 'Vadam to Tir-D-yar

Tir-D-yar was a Kig-Yar sniper during the 9th Age of Reclamation. He served only out of advantage, and would often stay away from his shielded allies. After the Covenant split into two factions, Tir became independant. After November 2nd 2552, he was an assassin for hire. He is the supporting villain in Halo: Vendetta, when he was hired to assassinate Doug-103, Rochelle-108, Ral 'Daman and finally Stel 'Vadam. Before the Schism, Tir nearly killed Rola 'Vadam, thinking him to be human. One of his assassins was slain in a failed attempt on Doug's life, now Tir takes things 'one step at a time' as he puts it.
