Troy Calypso lost his arm due to being conjoined with his twin sister Tyreen at birth, with his arm being in the position where Tyreen’s body was, resulting in it being underdeveloped and ultimately missing. The Calypso twins were born as conjoined twins to the very first ever vault hunter, adding a unique twist to their origin story, and this condition is the reason for Troy’s physical characteristic, including one arm being shorter than the other.
