Tyrum was a Vogan and Chief Councillor of Voga.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
After learning that Vorus, the leader of the guardians, was misusing his power, Tyrum had him brought before him. He questioned him as to his aims and revealed his wish that Vorus would be removed from his post. Angered, Vorus declared that he would resist and a civil war broke out between Tyrum's men and the guardians.
When Vorus' agent, Kellman, was captured and revealed that the CyberNomads were invading, Tyrum convinced Vorus that they had to work together. Tyrum was then shown a rocket that Vorus had prepared called Skystriker. Tyrum allowed the Fourth Doctor fifteen minutes to rescue Sarah Jane Smith from the Nerva Beacon before the rocket was launched, much to Vorus' annoyance.
When he saw that Nerva had been set on a collision course with Voga, Vorus and his ally Magrik tried to launch the rocket, but Tyrum shot them both. As his final act, Vorus launched the rocket and Tyrum stood watching as it was successfully redirected away from beacon by Commander Stevenson. The beacon itself missed Voga thanks to the Doctor's actions and Tyrum expressed relief regarding the defeat of the Cybermen. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen)
Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]
Although Tyrum was gentle and mild, he was commanding and a person to be reckoned with. He rarely showed anger, but did so when faced with Vorus's ambitions because of the risk they posed to Voga. (PROSE: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (novelisation)"]) Vorus likened his philosophy to that of a cringing mouse.
