Tyler Steele

Tyler Steele was an associate of Torchwood.

A disgraced journalist, Tyler went to Cardiff to cover the rise in hate crimes in the city and learnt of Torchwood, although Jack refused to let him join after allowing people to die. He did PR for Ro-Jedda for a time and was left broke and homeless after her death, eventually being invited by Yvonne to live in the Hub and became an effective member of the team.

Early life
Tyler lived in London. (AUDIO: Changes Everything) When Bethan Foster brought up the topic of his mother, he quickly changed the subject. (AUDIO: A Mother's Son) As a child, he liked to eat sugar cubes, especially brown ones.

He worked as a journalist and did hot yoga and CrossFit to keep in shape. (AUDIO: Changes Everything) He was promiscuous and used an app for hookups with other men. (AUDIO: Changes Everything, Night Watch, etc.)

Tyler entered into an open relationship with Damian, with rules about who they could and could not have sex with. Tyler was very much in love with Damian and sabotaged the relationship by breaking the rules, leading to their breakup. (AUDIO: Orr)

After hacking various celebrities including Katie Price and posting their photos online, Tyler was sent to prison, causing him to be disgraced as a reporter. (AUDIO: Changes Everything)

Encountering Torchwood
Looking to recover his integrity, Tyler went to Cardiff to cover Red Doors and the rise of hate crimes in the city. He attracted the attention of the Sorvix, with Vorsun sending fire drones to kill him after leading him on as an informant. He was saved by Ng (who was possessing Gwen Cooper) and taken to Torchwood's Hub, later tracking Vorsun down and meeting Jack Harkness. Jack refused to allow Tyler to join Torchwood after he encouraged Vorsun to kill 3Sol employees, (AUDIO: Changes Everything) although they continued to have a sexual relationship. (AUDIO: Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy, etc.) He instead got a job doing PR for the Mayor. (AUDIO: Changes Everything)

Working in the Mayor's office
Tyler told "Gwen" and Mr Colchester about Madrigal and her upcoming wedding (AUDIO: Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy) and told Torchwood about Vincent Parry after he asked the Mayor for protection from Ro-Jedda (AUDIO: Orr) and the Cardiff Bay Intelligent Hotel and Spa. He continued his job under Ro-Jedda after she killed the Mayor, telling her that he could offer her Torchwood (AUDIO: Superiority Complex) and using his influence to get her to cure Jack, "Gwen" and himself of a parasite. (AUDIO: Love Rat)

After seeing Hasan in a café, Tyler became aware of Deliverables and joined up, eventually uncovering the truth of the organisation and that Hasan, as well as many other people, had been killed. Angered by this, he confronted Ro-Jedda. (AUDIO: Zero Hour)

God's arrival
Following Ro-Jedda's imprisonment in the Hub, Tyler worked at a PPI call centre. He attended Colchester's funeral where he fought God with Colin Colchester-Price. (AUDIO: Future Pain) He used Brent Hayden to cover up the presence of the Sorvix in Cardiff before uploading incriminating images onto his laptop. (The Man Who Destroyed Torchwood)

Tyler ended up becoming homeless and eventually resorted to prostitution. He manipulated Colchester and Ng into helping him take down an app that forced homeless people into choosing between clinical drug trials and death. After this, he was allowed to live in the Hub. (AUDIO: Hostile Environment) He later switched bodies with Norton Folgate for a time as part of God's test for Ng. (AUDIO: Another Man's Shoes) Confronted with a tsunami approaching South Wales, Tyler managed to convince Yvonne - who had helped the Committee cause the crisis - to do something about it. (AUDIO: Eye of the Storm)

In the wake of the crisis, Tyler assisted the Disaster Recovery Committee. (AUDIO: A Mother's Son)

Appearance
Jack Harkness described Tyler as being very attractive (AUDIO: Orr) and Mr Colchester called him "Pretty Boy". (AUDIO: Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy) He kept in shape by doing hot yoga and CrossFit. (AUDIO: Changes Everything)
