Tyler Galpin

Character from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar

The sheriff's son, the barista with the nice smile, the boy next door — and underneath all of it, the Hyde that's been killing people in the woods, triggered by a woman who told him his monster was beautiful.

Also known as: Tyler, Galpin, The Hyde

What They Know

• Hyde — a rare outcast type that manifests as a monstrous transformation triggered by a 'master' who activates and controls them through chemical and psychological manipulation
• His Hyde was activated by Laurel Gates (Marilyn Thornhill) using a compound derived from nightshade — she controlled his transformations and directed his kills
• Inherited the Hyde gene from his deceased mother — Sheriff Galpin concealed this, and Tyler grew up believing he was a normie
• In Hyde form: superhuman strength, speed, razor claws, and a bestial intelligence — capable of killing trained outcasts
• His relationship with Wednesday was partly genuine and partly orchestrated by Laurel Gates to get close to her
• Arrested after Wednesday exposed him — showed signs of the Hyde asserting dominance over his human personality
