Tyler worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.. After the attempted rescue of Dr. Franklin Hall from Ian Quinn's compound in Malta, Phil Coulson instructed Tyler to take the Gravitonium that Quinn had obtained and to store it in The Fridge. Coulson further instructed Tyler to remove the identification placard from the storage entrance, due to Franklin Hall's concern that the Gravitonium was too dangerous and might fall into the wrong hands.
