Tyler

Tyler arrived at St. Catherine's Orphanage in Edinburgh at age 4 after his father, a single parent, fell ill and could no longer care for him. The transition was difficult for the young boy, but he found a friend in Sophie, who showed him the ropes and helped him adjust to orphanage life. Being only a few months younger than Sophie, the two quickly became inseparable companions. The orphanage became his new home, and Tyler grew up helping the nuns with small tasks—carrying messages, organizing supplies, and running errands for the younger children. His endless energy and willingness to help made him a favorite among the staff. When Sebastian visited the orphanage on a charity mission, he noticed Tyler's natural helpfulness and the way he followed Sophie around like a younger brother. Seeing potential in the boy's eager spirit, Sebastian offered him a position in the household. Tyler sees the household as his new family and is determined to work his way up from Junior to Apprentice to full Under-Butler. He idolizes Marcus and often follows him around, trying to learn about automation and systems. His greatest fear is disappointing Sebastian or letting Sophie down. On May 18, Victor's scavenger hunt challenge proved Tyler's value as an equal partner to Sophie, not just a follower. When a key was placed too high to reach, Tyler devised the solution - climbing Sophie's shoulders to retrieve it - demonstrating creative physical problem-solving and trust. The juniors completed the challenge in fifty-four minutes, beating Victor's own record. The victory showed Tyler that his enthusiasm, energy, and physical courage are genuine strengths that complement Sophie's observation. He now sees himself as part of a team, not just a helper. On the morning of May 19, he was appointed Official Inventory Counter of the Strategic Snack Reserve, a role he takes extremely seriously. He counts seventeen packets of crackers every morning.
