Biography

In 867, prior to the arrival of Basim Ibn Ishaq into the city, Thyra heard of the rumors of the outsider seeking to challenge the rule of Emperor Basil I and of him representing a greater force, the Hidden Ones. That same year, while trading for silk at a market in Constantinople, Thyra and some of her fellow Varagians overheard fighting in a nearby alley. They then aided Hytham and Basim in a fight against a group of mercenaries. Thyra mentioned the rumors to Basim and suggested a change in venue to a safe place where they could talk. The Hidden Ones then led the group to the house of their ally Demetrios Hestiun.
