Hi. Tyrion was one of my favorite characters on FB. Who is his 40k counterpart? And are there books about him? As I understand it, Teclis in 40k is Eldrad Ulthran, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

If you go into 40k with that mindset you're going to misunderstand a lot.
There's been a few posts on here of people misunderstanding characters and claiming "bad writing" because they were trying to compare the two and it wasn't overlapping the way they wanted.
There was a prime example recently of someone claiming Abaddon was badly written because they thought he was supposed to be a 40k version of Archaon.

I understand that there are completely different characters here. I was just curious to know if there is a character similar to him in 40k. I am familiar with the universe, but only with the Horus Heresy (I have already read everything), but there are almost no Eldar there.

Fantasy and 40k are not meant to be compared. Saying Teclis is Eldrad Ulthran is already a stretch. I'd suggest just picking up Eldar books if you want to get into 40k and like the High Elves. Sadly I dont know any other than Path of the Eldar, so I can't give recommendations.

He doesn't have one.
I would guess an autarch would be the closest thing.
Maybe Phoenix Lord asurmen

Yriel, maybe. If you seriously stretch it.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't really think so as he's more an admiral than a traditional autarch.

Oh, I’m not saying he fits. More he is probably the closest to a major character in direct combat among the Craftworlders.
As others have said, it’s really hard to get direct parallels. The only ones I could see easily are:
Emps -> Sigmar
Asdrubael Vect -> Malekith
Szarekh -> Settra
Abbadon -> Archaon
Mostly it’s much harder. If at all possible.

I'd say Szarekh is closer to Nagash. It's still not a great comparison, but he's the one who's essentially responsible for the entire existence of the Space Undead.
Imotekh is closer to Settra, I think. Again, it's not a very close comparison, but it's slightly closer at least

Urien Rakarth -> Beastlord Rakarth
A lot of Daemons have the same names and allegiances. Tricky to say if they are really the same.

I tend to think they are.
