It is unknown how Tycho aided the Pfhor in his time with them. However, in his time with them he learned about the [[Jjaro]] and their technology. From what he surmised, the S'pht creation myth referenced some piece of Jjaro technology that Durandal would no doubt want for himself.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/durandal2.html#M2.16.1.1 Marathon 2: Durandal, For Carnage, Apply Within, Terminal 1]</ref> This intelligence would position Tycho perfectly to serve an instrumental role in in the Battle of [[Lh'owon]]. | It is unknown how Tycho aided the Pfhor in his time with them.

As Durandal began his operations on the S'pht homeworld in 2811, Tycho made himself known.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/volunteers.html#M2.06.1.1 Marathon 2: Durandal, We're Everywhere, Terminal 1]</ref> He left encoded messages to Durandal regarding Leela's fate via the Pfhor FTL network, and coordinated with [[Admiral Tfear]] for a counter attack. | As Durandal began his operations on the S'pht homeworld in 2811, Tycho made himself known.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/volunteers.html#M2.06.1.1 Marathon 2: Durandal, We're Everywhere, Terminal 1]</ref> He left encoded messages to Durandal regarding Leela's fate via the Pfhor FTL network, and coordinated with [[Admiral Tfear]] for a counter attack. | ||
Durandal, after successfully annihilating the Pfhor garrison and establishing a base of operations planetside, was unable to repel Battle Group 7. [[Boomer]], though heavily modified, was unable to hold off so many opponents. As the rogue scout ship struggled against the much larger fleet, Tycho quickly infiltrated his ship directly, and taunted his counterpart. Tycho proceeded to take Durandal offline and save his data in a personally designed containment unit.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/durandal2.html#M2.17.2.1 Begging For Mercy Makes Me Angry!, Terminal 2]</ref> The Security Officer was also captured, and sent to the ''Big House'' for interrogation. | Durandal, after successfully annihilating the Pfhor garrison and establishing a base of operations planetside, was unable to repel Battle Group 7.

Even without Durandal's direct guidance, human survivors continued operations against the Pfhor. According to his instructions, human survivors rescued the Security Officer from Pfhor imprisonment and set about reactivating an ancient S'pht AI named [[Thoth]]. Tycho assisted the Pfhor in containing the humans, but was unable to prevent Thoth from summoning the Eleventh S'pht Clan, the [[S'pht'Kr]]. | Even without Durandal's direct guidance, human survivors continued operations against the Pfhor.

With S'pht reinforcements in the system, Durandal was free to break his containment. His plan complete, he subjugated the Pfhor network and took control of the Pfhor battleship, [[Khfiva]]. As the S'pht'Kr liberated their species and slaughtered the Pfhor troops, Tycho's ship was disabled and crashed into one of Lh'owon's moons.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/sphtkr.html#M2.26.1.1 Marathon 2: Durandal, Fatum, Iustum, Stultorum]</ref> | With S'pht reinforcements in the system, Durandal was free to break his containment.
