description: "Tyrker is a character mentioned in the Norse Saga of the Greenlanders. He accompanied Leif on his voyage of discovery around the year 1000, and is portrayed as an older male servant. He is referred to as “foster father” by Leif Erikson, which may indicate he was a freed thrall, who once had the responsibility of looking after and rearing the young Leif."
