	Unlike [[Ellen Tigh]] and [[Samuel Anders]], and like [[Tory Foster]] and [[Saul Tigh]], he has not been shown to have any first-hand self recollection of his true history, apart from the moment of his death on Old Earth. It is not known if his strongly pro-human attitude will change if he ever does, but Anders' recitation of events, including him helping stopping the First Cylon War against the humans 40 years ago, maybe prove to be favorable if he does recover his true memory. In the end, he exiles himself from the Colonial humans ''and'' other fellow Cylons, settling on an island in the northern hemisphere of the new, pristine world also eventually designated "Earth," in honor of the original Thirteenth Colony, his former homeworld.

	A year later, Tyrol lives in [[New Caprica City]] and is the president of the Worker's Union, a vocal opponent of President Baltar's administration. By this point, he has married Henderson, who is pregnant 380 days after settling on the planet. Tyrol and Henderson witness the arrival of the Cylons on the planet, and go to {{callsign\|Starbuck}} for guidance. She tells him to "fight them until we can't" {{TRS\|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. Shortly thereafter, their son [[Nicholas Tyrol\|Nicholas]] is born, whom they [[dedication ceremony\|dedicate]] to the gods [[Ares]] and [[Apollo, Lord of Kobol\|Apollo]] ~~([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance~~\|The Resistance, Episode 10~~]])~~.

	By Day 67 of the Cylon Occupation, he begins working with [[Saul Tigh]] about forming an armed resistance movement against the Cylon forces {{TRS\|The Resistance, Episode 1}}. They begin to cache weapons, hiding them in various places, including a temple {{TRS\|The Resistance, Episode 3}}. Through his efforts, the Resistance begins to pick up membership in combating the Cylon Oppressors.

	At the time of the Cylon attack, as well as leading his deck crew, Tyrol is overseeing the refurbishment and restoration of [[Viper (RDM)\|Viper]] [[Viper Mark II\|Mark II]] [[Viper 7242\|N7242C]] - the Viper originally flown by William Adama at the time of the [[Cylon War]] {{TRS\|Miniseries}}.

	Following the attack, with ''Galactica'' undermanned, Tyrol also performs the function of senior Damage Control officer ~~([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]] / [[Water]])~~, a role that brings him into conflict with [[Saul Tigh\|Colonel Tigh]] after ''Galactica'' is struck by a Cylon nuclear warhead.

Line 53:		Line 53:
	For several months prior to the Cylon attack, and in its aftermath, Tyrol has been engaged in an affair with Lieutenant [[Sharon Valerii]], one of ''Galactica'''s [[Raptor]] pilots. Despite the fact the relationship breaks military protocol, senior officers on the ship turn a blind eye to it, while Tyrol's own crew treat it with fond amusement.

Despite the fact the relationship breaks military protocol, senior officers on the ship turn a blind eye to it, while Tyrol's own crew treat it with fond amusement.

	When the water supplies on ''Galactica'' are sabotaged, Tyrol is placed in an awkward position: by her own admission, Valerii knows explosives were missing from a small-arms locker - potentially making her a suspect - and he is the principal DC investigator into the cause of the explosions which wreck the water tanks. Torn between love and duty, the situation prompts him to hide evidence and allow a theory that the walls of the tanks simply collapsed from fatigue resulting from damage ''Galactica'' received from a nuclear warhead in the Cylon attack ~~([[~~Water~~]] / [[Miniseries]])~~.

	Following the sabotage attempt, Valerii is ordered to end her relationship with Tyrol {{TRS\|Bastille Day}} as a part of a general tightening-up of security and discipline on ship, only to have Tyrol's deck crew help the two of them to continue to meet in greater secret {{TRS\|Litmus}}.

	=== Kobol ===		=== Kobol ===

	When [[The Fleet (RDM)\|the Fleet]] discovers the planet believed to be {{RDM\|Kobol}}, Tyrol arranges for Socinus' release and later berates the specialist for lying to cover for him. Thereafter, Tyrol is part of the team assembled on the ill-fated recon Kobol on the [[Raptor 1]], which then crashlands near the ruins of the [[~~Tomb of Athena~~]]~~.

	While Tyrol is the more experienced leader, his non-commissioned status leaves Lieutenant [[Alex Quartararo\|Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo]] in charge of the survivors. When Crashdown blames [[Tarn]] for leaving a needed med kit behind—Socinus is injured during the crash and [[serisone]] is needed to help him breathe—Tyrol steps in, recommending that he and [[Cally Henderson]] accompany Tarn. After successfully retrieving the kit from the Raptor crash site and heading back to the party, the trio is ambushed by Cylons and Tarn is killed {{TRS\|Scattered}}. Eventually, he and Henderson make it back to the party, only to find out that it is too late. Upon [[Seelix]]'s urging, Tyrol euthanizes Socinus with an overdose of [[morpha]] from both medkits to spare him a more painful death {{TRS\|Valley of Darkness}}.

	Later on, after the appearance of Admiral [[Helena Cain]] and the advanced [[Mercury-class]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)\|Pegasus]]'', he and Agathon stop Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]] from raping Sharon and Tyrol accidentally kills Thorne in the process. Tyrol and Agathon are summarily arrested and transferred to ''Pegasus'' for court martial, against Commander Adama's objections. However, Admiral Cain's "court martial" is over before Adama even knows it began, and she sentences both to be executed for murder and treason. This prompts Adama to launch Vipers and a Raptor loaded with a marine strike team to recover them both {{TRS\|Pegasus (episode)}}.

	~~Helo~~ and Tyrol receive a stay of execution through the efforts of [[Laura Roslin]] while the two battlestar commanders prepare to destroy the [[Resurrection Ship]] and its Cylon attack fleet that has followed ''Galactica''. Tyrol admits to his difficulty with dealing with the existence of the second Sharon, and tells ~~Helo~~ that he's got to "let it go," an idea that ~~Helo~~ supports, both understanding each other's take on the situation.

	The two prisoners are seen receiving two sets of visitors, one welcome, one not. First, Lieutenant Adama visits them to tell them how close ''Galactica'' came to a shooting war with ''Pegasus'' {{TRS\|Resurrection Ship, Part I}}, asking the two, "Just how many kinds of stupid ''are'' you?" A day or so later, Specialists [[Vireem]] and [[Gage]] bind and beat the two prisoners in retaliation for the death of Lieutenant Thorne. [[Executive officer]] [[Jack Fisk]] comes to break up the beating, but refuses the prisoners' thanks as he was fond of Thorne himself.

	After the escaped humanoid Cylon [[Gina Inviere]] escapes and shoots Admiral Cain, killing her, Tyrol and ~~Helo~~ are released and return to ''Galactica''. Both Tyrol and ~~Helo~~ visit Sharon Valerii at her specialized cell. She happily greets ~~Helo~~, but completely ignores Tyrol. He gets the hint and soon leaves the room, still unable to recover from the memory of the Sharon he knew as "Boomer".
