Tyler is the main protagonist of Johnisdead and the players' Link. He and his friends John, Jacob, and Kevin became embroiled with a dangerous cult known as the Lunar Children since 2009.

Story
Origins
Tyler grew up in the woods of rural Florida. While his childhood and extended family are never elaborated on, it is known that he now lives alone in his grandparents' trailer. At some point, Tyler became good friends with John, Jacob, and Kevin. While Jacob lived far away from Tyler, Kevin and John's homes were both within walking distance. Tyler mentions that he often acted as a mediator between John and Kevin, as the two of them would occasionally get into fierce religious debates. Tyler claimed that John was a militant atheist, while Kevin was a member of some secretive religious "youth group", later revealed to be the Lunar Children.
In 2009, Tyler, John, and Jacob joined the Internet Detectives and participated in the YSHDT Arc as players. During this time, John would often poke fun at the ARG's story, while Tyler would often entertain the idea that it was real. In May of 2009, Tyler and his friends presumably lost contact with the Internet Detectives when the YSHDT Arc came to a close. Months later in October, Tyler spoke to Jacob on the phone, who claimed he had just gotten a new job that would take up most of his free time. In reality, Jacob had just recently joined the Lunar Children. After this, Tyler was unable to contact Jacob. At some point, Tyler got into a relationship with Carla, a girl living in Australia who was secretly a member of the Lunar Children. Carla later gifted Tyler a crescent moon necklace, which he wore constantly.

In early 2010, Tyler recorded videos of John, Kevin, and himself hanging out and attempting various creepy rituals they found online. Shortly after these videos were recorded, John and Kevin had a big argument about magic. Over time, Tyler noticed that Kevin started taking interest in his necklace. This culminated in Kevin eventually stealing the necklace - something Tyler was suspicious of, but never had any definitive proof of. On Undecim Nocte 2011, Kevin's Ascension was to take place. The ceremony went awry, however, resulting in John accidentally being killed in a housefire. This resulted in John becoming Kevin's conduit, though before Kevin could utilize him, John's spirit was stolen and used by Tenebris instead.
Tyler was unaware of John and Kevin's fates. The local corrupt police claimed that John's death was simply the result of faulty wiring and his parents were both away when it occurred. As for Kevin, Tyler would occasionally check out his abandoned house and ask the police about it, but they would always warn him to stop looking into it. By this point, all of Tyler's friends had disappeared thanks to the cult in one way or another.
Targeted
Over time, Tyler had completely forgotten about his involvement in the YSHDT Arc and the Internet Detectives, most likely due to Patrem's interference. By 2015, the Lunar Children had begun targeting Tyler with the intention of sacrificing him on Undecim Nocte 2015 in an attempt to summon their goddess Luna. On May 19th, 2015, Tyler's computer was destroyed by a hacker named SKM. This was done for Tyler's benefit with the intention of having him create an online account where the players could begin contacting him. This was a success, as Tyler later created the Silentdork YouTube channel. Here, he uploaded a video of himself hanging out with Jacob from 2009 and videos of him, John, and Kevin attempting the rituals from 2010.

The players began contacting Tyler through the YouTube comment section and were able to get him to join the Internet Detectives Skype group once again. Tyler would then chat with the players over Skype frequently, revealing his history with John, Jacob, and Kevin. One day, Tyler was going to visit Kevin's house, but turned back after spotting Tenebris in town. Following this, the Lunar Children began harassing Tyler further by cutting off his power and leaving strange flyers about moon Goddesses outside his home. Tyler would once again go to the police for help, resulting in Tyler being interrogated and forced to take down his recording of Tenebris.
SKM would attempt to assist Tyler from afar, managing to turn his power back on. The harassment from the Lunar Children only continued to escalate when one member tasked with observing Tyler, Daniel, began throwing objects at Tyler's home and stalking him in his yard. No longer feeling safe in his home, Tyler spent the night in a local motel. He considers moving to Australia to live with Carla around the end of 2015. In June of 2015, the players attempted to warn Tyler about the Lunar Children by fully explaining their Ocarina Powers and showing him the website Johnisdead.com. Unfortunately, Tyler did not believe the players and instead thought they were harassing him regarding John's death. Following this, Tyler cut off contact with the Internet Detectives.
Tyler began experiencing strange dreams relating to the Lunar Children. On August 4th, 2015, Tenebris stole the players' Ocarina powers and gave them to the Lunar Children. The next day, the Lunar Children began using the Ocarina powers to actively harm Tyler, causing fires at his workplace and manifesting large thunderstorms. Once the storms cleared, Tyler decided to visit the remains of John's home. On his way back, Tyler stumbled across the Fishery. He took interest in the Fishery and later returned to it, where he came face to face with Doug. Following this, Tyler became increasingly paranoid and heard constant knocking on the walls of his home.
In October, 2015, Tyler was urged by Johnisdead.com to go to Kevin's abandoned home. While there, Tyler was ambushed by Doug and captured by the Lunar Children, who were planning on sacrificing him on Undecim Nocte, 2015. The Lunar Children tortured Tyler for weeks by locking him a trunk, trapping him in a cooler, and beating him. Tyler was miraculously saved by the players who had narrowly managed to regain their Ocarina powers. Once freed, Tyler immediately booked a trip to Australia.

In Australia, Tyler met up with Carla. However, it was soon revealed that Carla was insanely paranoid, locking Tyler in her home. Tyler managed to briefly contact the players through Carla's Skype account, but he was cut off when Kevin, now going by his Lunar Children title Regiminis, traveled through the internet and confronted them. While Tyler managed to escape Regiminis, Carla was never heard from again. Back in Florida, Tyler now lived in constant paranoia, as it seemed Tenebris was now constantly haunting him. In June of 2016, Tyler was involved in some sort of accident, resulting in him falling into a coma.
Tyler finally awoke from his coma in January, 2017. Though his amnesia was now worse than ever, he slowly began piecing together the history of the Lunar Children by asking around town and checking out local libraries. During his investigations, he met José - an archivist who had discovered the Lunar Children servers. In April, 2017, Tyler discovered a strange Detour Sign in his yard that would randomly teleport him when touched. Tyler began experimenting with the Detour Sign. During one of these experiments, Tyler was teleported to a nearby hiking trail where he met Greth - another individual who has had strange experiences with the Lunar Children.
Tyler and Greth began sharing their discoveries with one another. However, one year later in April, 2018, Tyler was attacked by Greth, who was now controlled by Patrem. Tyler managed to escape by utilizing the Detour Sign. Unfortunately, this trapped him within the Parallelos - a strange dimension that does not follow the rules of space and time.
