This organization, which went by the name "Bird of Passage", formed contracts with powerful people and sent out assassins to eliminate important figures in society. However, the group kept its existence a secret and were allies with no one. Tira was raised by the group since childhood, stripped of her freedom and choice for her future. Her Soulcalibur III bio explains that she grew accustomed to taking the lives of others without feeling anything, and grew to the point where killing became an addiction, committing such actions on a regular basis for the stimulation it provided. Eventually, she became free from the Bird of Passage after the leader's mind was burnt by the Evil Seed raining down while Tira was in the middle of a mission. With the chain of command now collapsed, Tira departed from the underground to roam the outside world with freedom. Tira continued her newfound life, taken in by an ordinary family in a quiet city amongst normal people, and although she still felt the slight urge to bring death to others, she managed to keep it contained, deciding that ordinary life was "okay". However, this peaceful lifestyle would not last for her dormant killing desire was triggered when she was scolded for releasing the pet bird of the family's child from its cage, giving no clear reason why, and was soon standing before the corpses of her now-former "family" before she realized what had happened.
Tira figured that she cannot live without inflicting death and, during her aimless wandering, she found out about the massacres of Nightmare and began to track him, finding something of a kindred spirit in the Azure Knight. She reached Ostrheinsburg, where she met a man wielding a scythe (actually Zasalamel), who informed her that she in fact sought the wicked sword, Soul Edge, and that Nightmare was just a puppet. Upon hearing the revelation, she was disappointed for a short time but rejoiced at the news of Nightmare's reappearance. She finally found Nightmare after following trails of slaughters, and pledged herself entirely as faithful servant to the evil sword.
Tira operates secretly behind the scenes with two set objectives: destroy the spirit sword, Soul Calibur, thus breaking the seal over Soul Edge's body; and locate a new host for the cursed sword, since his actual body is an unstable temporal shell and he needs a host with both strong spiritual will and a body to operate. Tira is shown in Soulcalibur III to switch expressions and the tone of her quotes, which may hint at signs of bipolarity.
She is my favorite character in Soul Calibur and I think she gives me a wide range of possibilities.
