BRIEF Bio:

Tye is a Mescalero Apache, born in El Paso Texas. His mother Shelly insisted on living outside of the reservations so Tye was raised like any average American child. He grew up hearing stories of his great grandfather, a stoic Apache Chief, who was described often as a “giant of a man.” In his early 20’s, Tye’s metahuman gene was activated after a car accident with his mother that left her dead.  After flipping their car off road during a thunderstorm, his mother told him that she loved him before speaking in Native American language with her last breaths “Inukchuk”. This blessing is believed to be a part of his power also giving him mystical origins. 

Tye wasn’t sure what to do with himself and was a drifter for years. It wasn’t until seeing Batman and the Native American hero Chief Man of Bats in action in New York City that Tye found purpose. After saving the life of Batman with his giant form, both Bat-themed heroes kept an eye on Tye. 

After saving people from a fire in California without any sort of mask to conceal his identity, Batman made contact and gave Tye one of Nightwing’s old masks. When he asked why, believing he didn’t have anyone close to keep safe, Batman gave him the name and location of his grandfather Holling.
