"Nyra," as he is called by fans, made his first appearances in Global Legend Pro Wrestling during the Grand Fist tournament. At the start of a first-round match between Jin-Yuta and "Skybomb" Lee Ryder, the arena lights went dark, much to the confusion of everyone in attendance. An aggressive strobe light then flickered in the ring, where an unknown individual. The newcomer was adorned in tattered, traditional robes, a heavily painted face with a mask covering obscuring the lower half, heavily taped hands and forearms, and strange markings drawn down the length of his ears, which appeared to denote him as lagomorpha in origin. Between the mask, the markings, and the large, disheveled ears obscuring his face, it was impossible to tell who the individual was. A moment later, the lights would dim again, and when they returned, the individual had vanished. Similarly cryptic appearances of the character would be seen sporadically over the span of several months until Nyra would finally make his first in-ring debut in dramatic fashion. After Koboshi quickly dispatched of an opponent during an otherwise uneventful taping, the audience was introduced to what would become the standard hallmarks of Nyra's arrival: The lights in the arena dimmed to pitch black, and a strange, high-tempo musical theme began to play. The lights brightened again a moment later to reveal the unknown individual in the ring, standing across from Koboshi, this time in what would become his familiar fighting stance. Another unknown individual would also be in the ring this time, displaying a similarly painted face and wearing all black. This other individual would become known as Nyra's personal match official, tasked simply with starting the enigmatic fighter's impromptu matches and declaring a winner. The Judgment, as he is now called by fans, called for the bell, which sounded more otherworldly than the standard bell and as if it were emanating from a distance. Nyra attacked immediately, with a jumping thrust kick to the head of Koboshi. Unable to gain a significant advantage in the match, Koboshi would at one point try to counter Nyra's onslaught with a hip toss, only for Nyra to land on his feet, one of many examples of the unknown competitor's uncanny maneuvers. The viewing audience was also introduced to Nyra's infamous double-roundhouse, in which the opponent ducks the first kick only to be caught with an immediate, seamless second kick. Nyra would ultimately put Koboshi away after surprising the veteran by spewing green poison mist, and finishing with his trademark double-stomp to the chest, later named the Heart Stopper by fans. Upon gaining the pinfall and being declared the winner, the lights once again dimmed, and when they returned, Nyra had vanished from the ring.

The bizarre match sent shockwaves through the wrestling world as a highly respected competitor like Koboshi had been so handily dispatched by an unknown opponent, seemingly at random. With no formal information given about the mysterious character, fans were left up to assemble their own lore and information on him. The name "Nyra" comes from one of the character's initial appearances, before his fight with Nakana. The markings written onto his ears were shaped in such a way on one side that they appeared to be abstract versions of the letters N, Y, R, and A, with fans taking to calling the character Nyra as a result. While it has never been confirmed from the individual himself what his name actually is, Nyra has widely become the accepted title for the character, acknowledged by fans and eventually commentators alike. Prior to the community agreement on his name, Nyra had also been referred to by other nicknames early on, including the Ghost Boy, the Spirit of Violence/Violent Spirit, and the Murder Demon, the latter continuing to be used on occasion as a nickname, as well as the word "Murder" still often being associated with the character, especially in his fan-named moveset.

Nyra would continue to make additional, albeit rare appearances from then on, challenging opponents unexpectedly, either just before their scheduled matches or just after. An additional shock came when Nyra appeared in Ultimate Pride Wrestling, a much-vaunted western independent promotion, to challenge Angel Fantasma, who for a time held the record for the longest survival time in a Nyra match. Angel also provided fans with the most exciting moment in the Nyra saga, when he mimicked Nyra's hip-toss counter, and followed up with his signature wheel kick, getting Nyra down and even making a pinfall attempt. Although Nyra kicked out at a count of 1, it was the first time that an opponent had been able to attempt a pin, energizing the live audience for that split second. This appearance in UPW made it clear that Nyra was not tethered to any one promotion and could emerge anywhere, which he would indeed go on to do.

Nyra's matches never seem to last longer than moments, and up to now, the tattered warrior has always emerged victorious. Nyra's opponents have come to be judged less by their ability to secure a victory, which up to now appears all but impossible, but rather, how long they can last in the match and how much offense they can muster before their seemingly inevitable defeat. While some fans and commentators herald Nyra as a unique wild card in a business where true innovation is only getting harder, others are more critical of the character, arguing that Nyra's overpowered portrayal does more to harm the momentum of otherwise hot talent rather than elevate them, as should be the point. Indeed, some fans joke that Nyra is wrestling's "final boss." However, others are quick to point out that Nyra's rare appearances make his matches feel special and generate more interest on the opponents he chooses. The honor is just to be challenged, some insist, and point out that there is increased intrigue among Nyra's opponents, even in defeat, as fans try to decipher the enigmatic competitor's attack pattern, and often assume That Nyra only seeks to challenge the most promising up and comers, as well as well-established veterans who are respected enough to be able to absorb a loss to Nyra.

Nyra's musical theme is one of the most recognizable in the industry, ironic, as for the longest time it was unavailable to the public and could only be heard from the tapings of his appearances. Perhaps the most unique trait of Nyra's music is that it plays throughout the duration of the encounter, rather than just to signify his arrival as with other wrestlers. Due to the brevity of Nyra's matches, some fans have taken to using the progress of the music track as a measurement of the success of Nyra's opponent. As noted wrestling journalist and pundit Rhea Lamar put it on social media:

So basically if you make it all the way past the guitar solo before he kills you, you're legit.

Nyra's theme was finally distributed among fans after it was discovered in a datamine for a relatively obscure GLPW video game in which the theme was presumably intended to be part of the final release, but was left inaccessible within the game's files. This is also how fans discovered the track's apparent title, "Heaven." This of course raised speculation that Nyra was intended to be part of the game as well but no evidence of the character's presence was discovered among the code.

Notes:

- None of Nyra's matches have been considered "official" and thus, are not reflected in the win-loss record of his opponents in promotions with track victories.

- Nyra has not spoken a single word during any of his appearances.

- On average, Nyra emerges to challenge an opponent roughly three to four times a year.

- Nyra's average match time is around 42 seconds.

- Nyra has no clear heel/babyface alignment.

- Nyra's face mask is only removed when he lowers it to unleash his Poison Mist. Freeze frames of these moments have revealed that beneath the mask seems to be a harsher application of his face paint.

- Nyra wears red color contacts in most of his appearances. The contacts were absent in his first few appearances, and based on what can be surmised from available footage, his natural eye color may possibly be blue.

-Special Moves-
(Note - none of these moves have been named by Nyra himself, and are the generally agreed-upon names as decided by the fan community and commentators)

Finisher 1: Murder Star
Nyra lifts the opponent onto his shoulders, face up, and drops them to the side, onto their chest and neck. The move is extremely dangerous and also exceedingly rare, seen only during his time with GLPW.

Finisher 2: Heart Attack/Heartstopper
Nyra leaps into the air, and drives both feet into his opponent's chest with terrible force. The move is frighteningly versatile in that he may hit it when standing above his downed opponent, from the top rope, and has famously showed he is capable of delivering it to a standing, even moving opponent.

Finisher 3: Bloody Murder
Considered by most to be Nyra's most iconic move, he holds a groggy opponent by the shoulder or throat, and then thrusts his free hand onto their mouth/jaw, in what appears to be a fairly standard mandible claw maneuver. However, immediately upon making contact, the lights go out, as they do upon his entrance, and while they are out, the bell frantically rings. When the lights return, the opponent is lifeless on the ground, often with blood covering their mouth and face, as Nyra stands over them completely still.

Signature 1: Poison Mist
A technique brought back to prominence in part thanks to Nyra, the move involves spitting a colored fluid into the face of the opponent, temporarily blinding or stunning them, leaving them vulnerable for a finishing blow. The move commonly precedes Bloody Murder.

Signature 2: Hariken Murder
A spin kick delivered with terrifying velocity. Nyra will make a 360 degree revolution when he delivers this kick, either to a standing or kneeling opponent. Nyra is infamous for immediately throwing another one of these kicks should the opponent duck the first, even adjusting the height in real time. In the most extreme examples, he's been known to throw 4 consecutive kicks before connecting.

Signature 3: MurderRana
Similar to a Poison Rana, which involves capturing an opponent's head in a leg sissors and flipping them backwards onto their head, Nyra's version sometimes sees him keep the opponent's head ensnared before violently twisting his body, appearing to 'snap' the opponent's neck, although the actual damage done is far less severe.
