Appearance: Tyen has long, brown, unruly hair with bangs that cover his eyes. His eyes are brown and always active, darting across his surroundings. He has less of a build than other 14-year olds and is shorter than most at 5' 1". He has strong legs, however, and is very fast.

Personality: Tyen is shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he becomes much more outgoing. He is intelligent and strategic, and perfers indoors to outside. He is single with only a few girlfriends behind him. He enjoys being around his friends. Tyen can become a bit moody at times, and is easily offended.

History: Tyen was born January 17th, 2000, in Boston MA. He was an early learner, and gave his first words at age two. He went to a public school and was bullyed horribly throughout elementary. He excelled in history and math classes, and went to high school with relatively good grades.

His Olympian heritage was hidden from him until he was twelve, when a group of large snakes attacked him unexpectedly one morning. He was eating breakfast at his kitchen table when the window behind him burst open and six huge constrictors slithered in. He screamed and threw his butterknife, injuring one. He leaped up onto the table, then to the countertop where he drew a cleaver from his dad's cutlery. Two boas snaked up his legs, and he bashed their heads in with the knife.

His dog, Nina, a large Siberian Husky, saw the commotion and rushed to protect Tyen. Nina killed one with her uncut claws, but was restrained soon after by another. The three injured snakes left all charged at Tyen and Nina. One curled around Tyen's neck, and the other two immobilized his arms. His face turned purple and the boa nearly broke his neck. Suddenly, Tyen's father ran into the room in terror. He pryed the snake from Tyen's neck and murdered the three with Tyen's cleaver.

After the mess was cleaned by Herluf, the Tyen began to sob in cifusion. The adrenaline faded away, and pure terror took its place. Herluf tried to give an dishonest explanation in a futile attempt to hide Tyen's heritage, but he ended up spilling the beans. Tyen aces in history class at his school, and comprehended most of the speech. The next week, Herluf sent Tyen off on a flight to New York with a handful of drachmas, a map to Camp Half-Blood, and a gift from Tyen's mother, a pair of celestial bronze daggers. Tyen made it to camp safely, without monster attacks.

Weapons: Tyen has a pair of celestial bronze daggers, a gift from his mother, that he wields like a master.
