Biography[]
Early Life[]
Tyler Venton is the son of billionaire Calvin Hartley and Claire Meade as a result of their affair. Claire gave him up for adoption after telling his father she got an abortion. He was adopted by a single mother who worked hard to make money and raise him in Stickney, South Dakota. Due to this he had a hard work drive and when asked to live in New York he had told Claire that he wanted a job or he would go back to South Dakota. Somewhere along the years, he went to community college and took a couple classes before presumedly dropping out. There, he drank a lot and he guessed it was genetic.
Season 4[]
Claire started to seek him out in Season 4. She ended up going to a bar in South Dakota where he worked as a bartender. He worked as a model for Mode. He and Amanda Tanen became good friends and this made Daniel jealous. Claire didn't tell him about his real dad, Calvin Hartley because she promised Cal that she would never let him know who he was, since Cal thought that once Tyler knew he had money, he would be after his fortune. Wilhelmina Slater took advantage of Tyler by posing as a recovering alcoholic in one of Tyler's AA meetings. She became his sponsor, but only to try and get to the Meade fortune. Tyler is a recovering alcoholic and gets really out of control when he drinks. When he found out that Claire lied to him about his father, he drank heavily and while at Wilhelmina's apartment, he found her gun. He went to Mode one night and Wilhelmina was trying to warn Claire that Tyler was dangerous. Wilhelmina stood in front of Claire to try and take the gun from Tyler, but he accidentally shot her. On the last episode of season 4, Wilhelmina at a press conference doesn't accuse him of shooting her as he stands along Claire and Daniel.
