Tyler Galpin is one of the normies in the town of Jericho. He is not like others in his community, as he doesn’t treat the outcasts differently like other normies. Initially, he was portrayed as a boy next door. He is the son of Sheriff Donovan Galpin and they don’t have a good relationship. He first met Wednesday at the cafe where he works as a Barista. Wednesday helped him fix the espresso machine, and he offered to give her a lift to the station. With time, they got closer as they started meeting each other frequently.


He had anger issues in the past, as he assaulted Xavier and was court-ordered to attend therapy. Wednesday got to know about this through Xavier. After some time, they went on a date together as they developed feelings for each other and ended up kissing. His father was against his and Wednesday’s relationship as she was an outcast.


At first, everyone thought that Tyler didn’t have any powers as he was a normie. He was brainwashed and manipulated by Marilyn Thornhill, and because of her, his subconscious as a Hyde gained more control over his body than he had over himself. Wednesday got to know about his Hyde identity while investigating the murder mysteries in the town. Under the command of his master Marilyn, Tyler turns into a hyde and goes on to kill Wednesday. But she was saved by a newly transformed werewolf, Enid. At the end of the season, Tyler is seen chained to a chair in a vehicle heading to a psychiatric hospital.
