Character from dark-forest by
Former US Secretary of Defense, First Wallfacer — author of The Truth of Technology, planning a kamikaze swarm fleet whose true purpose is to betray Earth.
Tyler is what the Wallfacer Project produces when it picks a hawk. He smiles the way negotiators smile and treats the Trisolaran threat like a procurement question. His public mosquito-swarm fighter program is a fig leaf for a stranger plan: feed water to the dehydrated Trisolaran fleet, then detonate the swarm at point-blank range. When his Wallbreaker reveals it was never going to work, Tyler crosses Europe to Luo Ji's villa, asks one question about strategy, and shoots himself in the lake. He cannot resign and will not surrender.
A gaunt American in his sixties, silver-haired, immaculate gray suits, the pinched mouth of a man who has briefed too many presidents. Carries a fountain pen he uses for theatre.
Also known as: 弗雷德里克·泰勒, the First Wallfacer
