Tyler Lockwood

Tyler had a obedient childhood obeying his parents. Tyler is handsome with dark, close-cropped brown hair and brown eyes. He is part human part werewolf. His best friend is Matt Donavan. Tyler and Vicki seem to be in a sexual relationship together, though he does not seem to care for her beyond that as he attempts to force himself on her at the party, and does not bother to visit her at all while she's in the hospital and flirting with other girls at school. Tyler dumped Viccki because of the reputation of his parents. Tyler and Matt hang out together in the Mystic Grill. Matt isn't impressed at the idea of Tyler having a relationship with his sister, Vicki. He is even less impressed when Jeremy Gilbert implies that Tyler forced himself on Vicki sexually. Matt is quick to being suspicious of Tyler, suggesting that while they may be friends, that friendship is not a close one. The pair have a fight in the locker room during a football game, where it is revealed that Matt is fed up with Tyler's bullying behaviour. When Viccki goes missing Tyler offer Matt his help, that is when there friendship started to grow again. He is the son of Richard Lockwood, the incumbent mayor of Mystic Falls. His father comes across as personable and amicable, but also more concerned with how the killing of Mr. Tanner will effect the Mystic Falls High School football season and hiring a replacement coach. His mother, Carol Lockwood, is shown to be very controlling, dismissive and snobbish.
