== History ==
Tyn was raised in [[Tu Bayla]] by parents who worked as interpreters. {{book ref|sa2|24}}
 
=== Macob’s caravan ===
Tyn’s team was assigned to kill [[Jasnah Kholin]] while the latter was on a ship to the [[Shattered Plains]]. As Shallan [[Soulcast]] the ship, the attackers didn’t survive, leaving Tyn stranded.{{book ref|sa2|28}} Now alone, Tyn had found herself without spheres, and came to [[Macob]]’s caravan to find a safe way into the Shattered Plains. She exaggerated her experience and became the head of the caravan's guards.{{book ref|sa2|24}}
 
During their journey, they were assaulted by bandits. It was [[Shallan Davar]]'s "soldiers" who assisted them, avoiding complete loss. In return, Shallan asked for the caravan's company on their way to the [[Shattered Plains]]. {{book ref|sa2|21}} Impressed, Tyn took Shallan as a con artist apprentice. {{book ref|sa2|24}}
 
Throughout the trip to the Shattered Planes, Tyn taught Shallan many different things, from accents to passing for lower class people and foreigners.{{book ref|sa2|28}} It was her "teaching" that caused Shallan’s first encounter with [[Kaladin]] to go so poorly, as Shallan tried to bully him by pretending to be [[Horneater]] royalty.{{book ref|sa2|28}} Tyn is also responsible for Shallan not moving into the Kholin household to avoid indebting herself to them, and for instilling the idea of playing "hard to get" with [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa2|36}}
 
=== Tyn’s death ===
When they were almost at their destination, Tyn invited Shallan to read [[spanreed]] messages together. There, not only did she provide information on her homeland, but also confessed her intent of selling Shallan's deserters as bounty. Moreover, the spanreed wrote about Tyn's last job. Not only did it confirm that Tyn had been hired to kill Jasnah, but also gave her information on Jasnah's ward -- Shallan herself. Realizing that she's been fooled, Tyn moved to kill Shallan. Though she did manage to hit her hard, Shallan summoned her [[Shardblade]] and killed her. {{book ref|sa2|34}}
 
[[Pattern]] went to Shallan's deserters for help, asking them to go fetch her. When Tyn's soldiers resisted them, the deserters killed them.{{book ref|sa2|34}}
 
=== Aftermath ===
 
After Tyn's death, Shallan took over the spanreed communication. With Tyn's old spanreed letters, Pattern was able to crack the code to continue the conversation, letting Shallan agree to a meeting with the Ghostbloods. Shallan also continued her training, and created the Veil persona based on Tyn. In the beginning, Veil would be using Tyn's clothing and eyedrops.{{book ref|sa2|42}}{{book ref|sa2|37}}
