HistoryEdit

Tyler was a hot-head at Starfleet Academy, but managed to scrape through. After graduating, he served on the USS Tiberius under Captain Robert April. April straightened him out and Tyler later served with him on the Enterprise during April's five-year mission. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

By 2251 Tyler was a lieutenant, and remained aboard the Enterprise as chief navigator when Captain Christopher Pike assumed command and began a new five-year mission. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

When Spock joined the Enterprise crew (circa 2253) he had an ideological crash with the Vulcan, who showed no emotion or empathy for the crew. (TOS comic: "Alien Spotlight: Vulcans")

In 2254 Tyler was part of a landing party that boarded a Ngultor ship to rescue Captain Pike after the Ngultor had abducted him. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

During the Enterprise's next mission, in the Marrat Nebula, following a transmission from Commodore Hal Wyeth giving Captain Pike some words of caution, Tyler commented that after so long on the front line "Ol' Wyeth" seemed to be getting jumpy. Pike conceded the possibility, but countered that Wyeth's local knowledge might be an invaluable resource. (EV comic: "The Fires of Pharos")

A short time later he was injured during the Kaylar coup on Rigel VII. (EV comic: "Our Dearest Blood"; TOS episode: "The Cage")

RelationshipsEdit

Tyler had a number of romances while on the Enterprise; he maintained a flirtatious relationship with his partner at the helm, Sita Mohindas. From the moment Yeoman Mia Colt came aboard in 2254 he was attracted to her, though she did not learn this for some time. Later that year Colt finally learned of his feelings for her and the two dated for some time. (EV comics: "Flesh of My Flesh", "Immortal Wounds", "The Fallen")

In the same year he met Ecma of the Calligar, whom he would later marry. (TOS novel: The Rift)

At some point he was romantically involved with a princess from Kalajia VII, though he refused to tell anyone. ^{[citation needed]}

AppendicesEdit

BackgroundEdit

• In the Early Voyages comic "Futures, Part One", Tyler sees a vision of himself commanding a starship in a movie-era uniform. This fits in with his appearance as a commodore in 2287 in The Rift.
