General Tyzall Nolek, The Loyal

"My servitude is to the Alliance and the Warlord only."

## The Knight of Loyalty

### Defection

Tyzall began his life with the Knights and the Knights only. Nothing was more important than earning honor and being within the Knights of Zakuul. His life was to serve Zakuul and nothing else. Or so his own ideas said.

Tyzall fought hard. He was efficient in war. He never lost a battle, whether from the battles on Ord Mantell or his incursions on Concordia, Tyzal dominated Zakuulan warfare. At the day of his Emperor's death, Valkorian, he felt as he were to claim vengeance. Finishing his training in year 2 of Arcann's war on the galaxy, Tyzall fought in nearly twenty battles before the truce was made, and both sides bowed to his new Emperor.

Eventually, he found that the Knights were slowly losing honor. His loyalties to his Empire were gone, as the Empire he served was gone as well. He remained serving High Justice Vaylin until Kylam Raf broke out of the carbonite prison he began to pursue the man who killed his Immortal Emperor. When the Alliance rose, he found that the ideals they followed were that of the old Zakuul, and began to research this new fighting force.

On May 19, he went AWOL and defected, contacting Warlord Raf and being imprisoned on Odessen, until his interview, which will be displayed below:

*Enter Alliance Commander Kylam Raf to see Tyzall sitting at a desk, chained to it so that he may not exit.*

*"Tyzall, that is your name is it not?"*

*"Yes."*

*"And I am to figure you are the one who wished to defect?"*

*"My defection was to help cleanse Zakuul."*

*"Anyone could perhaps go undercover. You won't leave this planet for some time, until you can be trusted."*

*"You know who I am, but... you don't trust me."*

*"I do not contain every detail, word, and thought you've ever had or said inside this datapad."*

*"No... but you've looked at everything of mine, you know that I'm not containing a tracker or anything. The Knights were a thing of the past."*

*"How can I... prove your loyalty?"*

*"Can you use the force?"*

*"Yes..."*

*"My proof is within your powers. No one can hide their thoughts from a force user."*

*"What're your connections?"*

*"Nothing now, but I used to be allies with the Scions, and direct contact to the High Justice."*

*"Hm... Why defect to the alliance."*

*"If you really are in truth to take the throne and repair the entire Eternal Empire, I want to be able to put in my opinions... directly... and help bring honor back to the Knights."*

*"Hm... you remind me of one of my closest allies. Who are your old friends?"*

*"I used to work with Tanek as my old partner, till he was reassigned. My commander was Senya Tirall-"*

*"You know of Senya?"*

*"Uh... yes sir."*

*"You will speak to her. I have her here, as one of my closest advisers."*

*Exit Alliance Commander Kylam-Raf*

### Rise in the Eternal Alliance

As the alliance grew, so did Tyzall's position. From a trainer to a tactician, he began to dominate the Alliance structure, growing fast and strong, he learned things of the force, that it was not only a tool, it was an ally, a paradox to guide.

When the Eternal Empire fell he ushered Warlord Raf to immediately support Zakuul, providing supplies and making it the first world to join the newly rising Awakened Empire. Serving directly under High Justice Beniko, he began to direct the efforts of the Knights, finding paths for direct war. When Iokath began to spark at the beginning of the Eternal Galactic War he was the very first to join the fight.
