Tyler

Tyler Horvath is an original character and major character in both The Hell that Walks: Season 1 and Season 2.

Personality
Tyler is noted to be incredibly shy and timid at the beginning of the apocalypse, but as the months went on, he became more independent and trustworthy, and gaining a certain amount of skills.

Pre-Apocalypse
Before the apocalypse, he was born to Jewish parents and was often ridiculed for his lack of strength and religion. Additionally, he worked as a cashier to pay off student loans and met Franklin and Marvin. One day, while at school, he was tormented and threatened by another student, and in his panic after thinking the student broke in, he hit his pregnant mother in the stomach, killing the fetus. His mother and father never forgave him, and he's still haunted by his brother's death.

Post-Apocalypse
At some point, he, Franklin, and Marvin were able to escape from the store they worked at and traveled together.

This New Life
While journeying through the woods, a storm struck and a stray lightning bolt hit a tree, which caused it to fall on Marvin, pinning him down. While Tyler and Franklin tried to save him, they encountered Matt, who decided to help save Marvin. However, it was no use as Marvin and Franklin were killed, leaving Tyler as the sole survivor. After Matt's friend Leon is saved, Leon decides to let Tyler stay in the group. After an argument over food, Leon and Tyler go to get food, and they get to know each other. Their conversation is interrupted when they're held hostage by Fiona, Samuel, and Drew. However, after explaining themselves, they are let free and join up with the three newcomers.
