Tyson Russel was an agent of The Company who was considered to be the "Top Human Agent". He was Jordan Matthews' partner, mentor, and eventually he became a sort of "big brother" to him. Tyson was fired by Angela Petrelli following Primatech's demise and began working with the government after receiving a request from Noah Bennet.

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

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.

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.

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.

Tyson knocks him out and removes his ear phones. Olivia is shocked that he was prepared for that and Tyson shrugs, saying that he learnt his lesson last time.
