Tyler Leander is the son of Arthur Leander and Elizabeth Colton. He is raised in Israel by his mother away from his father. During the collapse, he lives in the Severn City airport and becomes increasingly religious and extremist, coming to believe that the Flu was a divine cleansing of the population and that those who survived did so for a reason. He and his mother leave the airport to join a wandering cult, and as Tyler grows up he eventually becomes the leader of the cult and starts calling himself the Prophet. As the Prophet, Tyler runs a group of highly trained religious fanatics who carry a large arsenal of weapons and take over towns. In a strange mirroring of his father’s wife-hopping, Tyler takes multiple wives, including very young girls, usually by force. He, like Kirsten, is obsessed with the “Dr. Eleven” comics.
