Changes: Ash Tyler

Revision as of 04:00, 30 July 2019

For additional meanings of "Ash Tyler", please see Ash Tyler.

"The one you call "Tyler" was captured in battle at the binary stars. We harvested his DNA, reconstructed his conscious, and rebuilt his memory. We modified Voq into a shell that appears Human. We grafted his psyche into Tyler's, and in so doing, Voq has given his body and soul for our ideology."

– L'Rell to Saru, 2256 ("Vaulting Ambition")

Lieutenant Ash Tyler was a male Human Starfleet officer who lived during the mid-23rd century. In 2256, he was captured by the Klingon Empire, and his personality was adopted by Voq in order to act as a sleeper agent on the USS Discovery.

Ash Tyler was raised by his mother, a third-grade teacher at Issaquah Elementary, twenty-four kilometers outside of Seattle, Washington. He never knew his father, but his mother told him that he "didn't miss much there." (DIS: "Lethe")

While Tyler was attending Starfleet Academy, his mother took her first vacation in twelve years. On her way to the moons of Grazer, she was killed by a rogue comet. (DIS: "Lethe")

Tyler owned a lake house near Lake Shasta in California, on Earth. (DIS: "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")

Prior to the Battle of the Binary Stars in 2256, Tyler served as a lieutenant on the USS Yeager under Captain Steven Maranville. He was captured by the Klingons there and held captive. (DIS: "Choose Your Pain")

His memories and personality were used in the genetic transformation of Voq as part of a plan by him and L'Rell to infiltrate the USS Discovery. (DIS: "The Wolf Inside")

Background information

In an interview with IGN actor Shazad Latif explained, "Yeah, I think L'Rell used a captured soldier. She took this guy and then used his body and his brain and his memories, with all the skill she has as a conscious[ness]-transferring scientist. It’s amazing."

"It was an ongoing conversation from very early, because, you know, stuff changes completely in 10 months as you write. The writers end up changing things to each actor, and they're writing scenes for them specifically. And everything changes sort of organically as you're going along. So ideas that were originally there in episode one might have completely changed, I think. So there was always different people's views, or producers -- you know, different people going, maybe this or this. And, everyone wants to understand the science of it anyway. But, yeah, that was the basic essence of it, that it was more like how it's done. But originally the idea was the same, that he was laid over the top of this core Voq body, and slight, certain organs were put in. And then the transfer of consciousness and memory." [1]

-== Starfleet career ==
-Prior to the [[Battle of the Binary Stars]] in [[2256]], Tyler served as a [[lieutenant]] on the {{USS|Yeager|NCC-1437}} under [[Captain]] [[Steven Maranville]]. He was captured by the [[Klingon]]s there and held captive for seven [[month]]s. His cell mate during his captivity was [[Harcourt Fenton Mudd]]. He was finally rescued alongside [[Captain]] [[Gabriel Lorca]] by the {{USS|Discovery}}. ({{DIS|Choose Your Pain}})
+Tyler owned a [[lake house]] near [[Lake Shasta]] in [[California]], on Earth. ({{DIS|Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum}})
-A week after his rescue, Captain Lorca appointed Tyler as [[chief of security]] aboard the ''Discovery''. ({{DIS|Lethe}}). Captain Lorca was impressed by Tyler's piloting skills of a stolen [[Klingon raider]] during their escape, as well as his impressive marksmanship in ''Discovery''{{'}}s holographic combat simulator.
+Prior to the [[Battle of the Binary Stars]] in [[2256]], Tyler served as a [[lieutenant]] on the {{USS|Yeager|NCC-1437}} under {{dis|Captain|rank}} [[Steven Maranville]]. He was captured by the [[Klingon]]s there and held captive. ({{DIS|Choose Your Pain}})
-Ash Tyler suffered from severe [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] as a consequence of sexual assault, torture, and medical experimentation inflicted upon him during his imprisonment by his Klingon captor, [[L'Rell]]. ({{DIS|Into the Forest I Go}}) Furthermore, he harbored an internal rage towards [[Klingon]]s, wanting to hurt them the way they hurt him. ({{DIS|Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum}}) During his mission with [[Michael Burnham]] to place sensors in the Klingon ''[[Sarcophagus‎|Ship of the Dead]]'', Ash encountered L'Rell in a room of corpses, and subsequently lapsed into catatonia. He was coached back to a conscious state by an injured Admiral [[Katrina Cornwell]], who was a prisoner on the ship, and was able to defeat incoming Klingon warriors who were closing on their position. Tyler was still haunted by nightmares and flashbacks from his violations everyday. ({{DIS|Into the Forest I Go}}) He took solace in his burgeoning romantic relationship with Burnham, who had shared trauma from the loss of her parents, her transient death, and the events from the [[Battle of the Binary Stars]].
+His memories and personality were used in the [[choH'a'|genetic transformation]] of [[Voq]] as part of a plan by him and [[L'Rell]] to infiltrate the USS ''Discovery''. ({{DIS|The Wolf Inside}})
