DYSON
Dyson is a homicide detective in the human world, working out
of the 39th Division Homicide Squad. Though, at first
glance, he appears middle-aged, he was born as a wolf-shifter centuries before
the events portrayed in the show and, as such, is actually quite old. It's not
clear what his exact age is but estimates suggest he's over 1500. He spent
centuries in Ireland serving a wolf-shifter king with his childhood friend, Stefan.
In terms of shifter tradition, warriors like Dyson fearlessly and
unquestioningly believed in total loyalty to the King. This changed when his
King betrayed and had his best friend, Stefan, killed to acquire Stefan's wife,
Ciara.
After this, Dyson apparently left his former pack for good, becoming, in effect,
a lone wolf. In season 3, it is discovered that Dyson is part Wanblee.
Dyson is often short tempered and easily aggravated. He is also fearlessly
and unquestioningly loyal to his friends and displays a certain respect for
rules and the law. However, he shows willingness to bend rules in order to serve
his friends, particularly Bo. Centuries ago, when Dyson was part of a wolf pack,
he believed in total loyalty to the pack's king. This only changed when his king
betrayed and had his best friend, Stefan, killed to acquire Stefan's wife,
Ciara. After this, Dyson left the pack for good, becoming, in effect, a lone
wolf. This might explain why Dyson sometimes comes off as cold
A Wolf-Shapeshifter and homicide detective in the human police force. He is 1,500 years old, very strong, possesses a sharp sense of smell, and is acutely knowledgeable about Fae politics. A member of the Light Fae, his true allegiance is to Trick rather than to the Ash. He fell in love with Bo while under orders from Trick to keep an eye on her, and is best friends with Hale, his Light Fae detective partner. In the Season 1 finale, he involuntarily sacrificed his love for Bo when he offered his wolf to the Norn in return for her giving Bo the strength to defeat her murderous and maniacal mother, Aife; but the Norn – who demanded his wolf the first time he asked a favor from her in "Brother Fae of the Wolves" – realized that his wolf is no longer what he valued most and took his love for Bo and his ability to love anyone else again instead, leaving him with the memory of their relationship but unable to feel passion for her. He made efforts to remain friends with Bo, which was initially awkward when Bo couldn't understand why he was distant (until Bo came to terms with his detachment and declared to Kenzi in "Can't See the Fae-Rest" that her relationship with Dyson is over). After reuniting with his old love, Ciara, their relationship was hampered by Dyson's reluctance to reveal his encounter with the Norn and what he had lost in the exchange; however, he eventually admitted to her that he offered his wolf but it had cost him his ability to love anyone. This ability is restored by the Norn after Kenzi threatened to mutilate and cut down her Sacred Tree in "Into the Dark". Although the idea that a wolf mates for life was ascribed to his relationship with Bo, in "End Of A Line" the voodoo witch Laveau told Dyson that his "prison" (i.e. his love for Bo) was of his own making. In Season 5, it is revealed that Dyson has a son named Mark
