Tyler

Tyler was a human masochist taken by Queen Andais as a pet. First seen in A Kiss of Shadows, Tyler was described as blonde, so young as to be barely of legal age, predatory, lascivious, and aggressive. Meredith said that he was pretty, but that Eamon was better endowed. Neither she nor the queen gave Tyler credit for very much intelligence. Meredith thought her aunt's choice of pets as too high maintenance.

In Seduced by Moonlight, after Andais fell victim to a bloodlust spell, she chained Tyler to a wall and used a bullwhip on him nearly beating him to death, until Eamon stepped between them and  tried to call her to her senses; ''"You told me once that you valued him because he could take so much pain. If you kill him, you will not have him to play with...." ''Even then Tyler begged her to continue.

After Cel's death, Tyler was one of the victims of Andais' rage and grief.In A Shiver of Light, she confessed that she tortured him to death, perhaps forgetting he was not an immortal. She expressed regret for having killed him: "I valued him, and have missed him since." She admitted his death was one thing that let her see how far she had fallen into her grief and madness.
