Tyler Galpin, He is the son of Sheriff Donovan Galpin and his late wife Francoise and a resident of Jericho who strikes up an unlikely friendship with Wednesday Addams. Tyler has a troubled relationship with his father and is a hyde. After his birth, his mother, Francoise, went through postpartum depression, which then led to her hyde being unlocked. His mother died at some point afterwards. His father, Donovan, was worried that his late wife’s condition had been passed onto Tyler, so he doesn't like to talk about her, even going as far as emotionally distancing himself and neglecting his son as a result.

On Outreach Day 2021, Tyler and his friends assaulted Nevermore student Xavier Thorpe and destroyed a mural he painted on one of the town buildings. This incident led Tyler to be sent off to a boot camp as punishment for his actions. While at the camp, he realized he wanted to become a much better person and set off to distance himself from his previous ways and friends. Xavier, however, still held resentment towards Tyler, even a year after the incident between the two of them.

Upon returning to Jericho, he was court-ordered to attend therapy with Dr. Valerie Kinbott. A while later, he got a job working as a barista at the Weathervane Cafe. As a human, Tyler is handsome, with light brown hair, green eyes, a kindly expression, and a mole located on his face. However, as a hyde, Tyler transforms, his features becoming ugly and warped. His eyes grow wide and bloodshot, and he has coarse, blue hair along with notably sharp claws. Every time he returned to his human form, he was completely naked. Tyler is originally shown as a mild-mannered, unassuming teenager. He is not personally hostile to outcasts after being court-ordered to attend therapy. His relationship with his father is strained because of Donavan’s emotional distance and his uncooperativeness in answering questions about Tyler’s mother. He was known to have anger issues in the past, such as when he assaulted Xavier, but whether this was due to his hyde nature taking over or the emotional pain over his father’s chronic absence is unclear. After Thornhill revealed the truth to Tyler about his mother being a hyde, he unlocked his outcast nature.

As he was manipulated and subjugated to torture and brainwashing under Marilyn Thornhill's plant cocktails, his primal subconscious as a hyde gained more control than he had over himself. The effects of the brainwashing as well as his hyde persona eventually led him to not only swear loyalty to Laurel Gates but also to develop a sadistic personality, hungry for dominance and cold towards the lives of others in the pursuit of mindless violence. He was also goal-oriented in the most unscrupulous directions and took pleasure in being successful in the end results. It's never clear if Tyler enjoyed or hated being a minion in Thornhill's grand plan, but he did enjoy the damages caused by going along with his part, especially to Wednesday, whom he pretended to spare while becoming a hyde just to lead her to Thornhill.
