Tyrell Nishiki (ティレル錦 Nishiki Tireru) is a Human Shinigami hybrid aligned with the Ryū Order, holding the position of 5th Division lieutenant under Yoshiro Kazuki. Per Part II he is solely a Shinigami. Once holder of the title "Protector of Akabira", Tyrell has since passed the title to Sairento Mukui so he can focus primarily on the on-going war with Averian and his army. Tyrell is the eldest brother of Karis and Kazuma Nishiki, being the Head of the Nishiki Family. He is known to mainly partner Fujimaru Namikaze, Kensai Kuchiki and Juunan Shihōin within the Order; a group he happens to lead, with it being the most successful raiding party within the Order to date. Formerly he was Lieutenant of the 5th Division, and is now the Commander of the Dragonforce stationed within Heisekai.
