Byrrah is a supporting character of Namor in the Marvel Comics universe. The character, created by Ken Bald and Syd Shores, first appeared in Marvel: Mystery Comics #82 (May 1947).
Within the context of the stories, Byrrah is a member of the Atlantean royalty, and a citizen of Atlantis. Byrrah and Namor are close friends at childhood though they become rivals. Byrrah considers Namor a "half-breed" and unfit to rule Atlantis. Byrrah vies with Namor for the Atlantean throne when Emperor Thakorr was injured. Byrrah uses a mind-control device to force the Atlanteans to choose him as ruler and exile Namor. Byrrah forms an alliance with Namor's enemies (Attuma and Warlord Krang) to defeat him, but fails and is exiled from Atlantis. With Krang and Doctor Dorcas, he unsuccessfully attempts to turn Atlantean public sentiment against Namor. He next forms alliances with Llyra and the Badoon, and battles Namor and Namorita. The two cousins later reconcile, and Namor pardons Byrrah's crimes.
Byrrah brings word to Namor of Attuma's takeover of Atlantis. Alongside Namor, Byrrah battles Attuma's forces but they are defeated. Alongside Alpha Flight, Byrrah aids Namor and the Avengers against Attuma again. With his fellow Atlanteans, Byrrah helps Namor establish the new kingdom of Deluvia.
