About

Tyson was born to Samantha Russel, an evolved human who worked very closely with The Company. She died when Tyson was young and since then, he has been raised by The Company. He was trained and tested in all areas until he became one of the most experienced agents. His skill was unmatched and he was known as an agent with a heart of steel, that is until he met Jordan Matthews. Tyson and Jordan became family and his "big brother" nature over Jordan makes him very protective and loyal to him.

Tyson has had many partners over his years including Elisa Douglas and Tina Bui.

Character History

Season One History

Tyson oversees the bag and tag of Joshua Lincoln. During the mission, he is surprised by a telekinetic attack, which temporarily stops him from aiding in the mission. Following Joshua's recruitment to the Company, Tyson informs Joshua of the Company's background and gives him some information regarding his own partner, Jordan Matthews. Tyson then accompanies his former partner Tina Bui on a mission to capture two escaped villains. Tyson and Tina are both nearly killed on this mission but are saved by their recruits Joshua and Ethan.

After discovering that Jordan has been sent to Pinehearst on a mission that could potentially kill him, Tyson immediately sets off with a group of agents to rescue him. Tyson takes full command during the mission and uses the skills that he has gained over the years to take out all agents in his path. He and his team rescue Jordan but are surrounded by Pinehearst Agents. With his friends powerless, Tyson is forced to protect them all until their powers return. When they do return, Tyson learns that Joshua and Alan have gone after Emily Rose, prompting Tyson to gather his agents and rush to help.

Tyson, Ethan, Jordan and Elisa arrive to help Tina and Joshua fight off Emily. Tyson accidentally tazers Tina and is thrown aside by Emily. While being held on the ground, Tyson watches as his friends are beaten one by one. Seeing that Emily is weakened, Tyson shoots at her. He is unable to kill her, as Emily takes her own life by destroying herself with her power. Tyson and the other agents return to Primatech, where they are all fired. Desperate to know what he must do with his life, Tyson goes to Jordan for advice. The Seer gives none and Tyson is left alone, not knowing what he must do without the Company.

Notes

• Tyson's mother, Samantha Russel, was an evolved human.
