Dyson, proper name unknown, was the name of a character that appeared in the Lost Girl television series who was one of Bo's friends and was also her lover at one point in the series. Dyson has appeared in a total of thirteen First Season episodes, twenty Second Season episodes, twelve Third Season episodes and twelve Fourth Season episodes. Dyson was Fae in nature and specifically a Wolf-Shifter having powers and abilities similar to that of a werewolf. The role was played by the actor Kris Holden-Ried. He first appeared in the premiere episode of the series It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where he was in search of Bo, who had killed a human in public which brought her to the attention of the Fae leadership. With Hale's help, Dyson was able to bring both Bo and Kenzi into the world of the Fae beginning his relationship with Bo which lasted throughout the series.

Through the series, Dyson's role in the human world was as a Homicide Detective in the 39th Division of the local police force, his partner for the first two seasons being Hale. Dyson in his role with the Fae served the wishes of The Ash as one of their investigators with regards to Fae crimes. When Hale became the The Acting Ash in the Third Season of the series, Dyson was teamed up with Tamsin, a Dark Fae Valkyrie in what was called an experiment to improve relations between the Light Fae and Dark Fae. Throughout the series he also acted as Trick's confidant and lieutenant, knowing that Trick was in fact the Blood King and acting in his best interests when required to do so. While appearing middle-aged, Dyson was at least 1,500 year old and possibly older. His past included living in Ireland for a time and serving the King of Ailech with his friend Stefan and his wife Ciara. Dyson broke his connections with his pack at that time when the King betrayed Stefan, having him killed on a mission and making it possible for the King to marry Ciara. Upon doing so, Dyson became a lone wolf with no pack allegiance until he encountered Trick sometime in the past and swore allegiance to him. While Dyson appeared to serve The Ash of the local Fae community during the series, his true ties to Trick were kept secret.

Dyson was very protective of those he called his friends, placing his own life in jeopardy many times. He offered himself initially as a means for Bo to feed as he could survive her feedings, though he was weakened by them. As his relationship with Bo became more intimate, he came into conflict, at least with regards to Bo, with Lauren who also was a lover of Bo's. At the end of the First Season, Dyson sacrificed his love for Bo to The Norn in order to help her defeat her mother Aife. After this occurred, his relationship with Bo faded over the course of the Second Season and he eventually became involved with Ciara. He was unable to love Ciara however as he explained, his love was taken away and "wolves mate for life" meaning that even if his love was returned, he would not truly love anyone else save Bo. Kenzi eventually recovered what The Norn had taken at a price, and Dyson's love for Bo was revived one more.

In the Third Season, Dyson found that his inability to reveal to Bo that he did love her again allowed Lauren to have a closer relationship with Bo, eventually causing her to try to make a monogamous relationship with Lauren which failed when it became clear that Bo could not survive and her feeding on Lauren was harming her. Dyson still had a relationship with Bo, but out of respect for what Bo and Lauren had together, decided to wait and not push the issue as he knew that he could, and would, wait for Bo however long it might take. During the Third Season, with Hale becoming The Acting Ash, he was teamed up with Tamsin, a Dark Fae and had an adversarial relationship with her, especially when it came to Tamsin's opinions and actions against Bo. Dyson stood by Bo's side when she faced her Dawning and he died there, but was returned to life when Bo returned from her test with his body and used her powers to revive him. His final appearance in the third season was the finale Those Who Wander during which he was kidnapped by Doctor Isaac Taft and made to battle other Fae to survive. He was operated on by Lauren under the orders of Taft in order to help Taft become Fae. However, Lauren tricked him and while he did become Fae, he did not gain Dyson's powers and was killed by Dyson. After being rescued by Tamsin, the pair drove off a cliff when they encountered The Wanderer, Bo's father. Their fate at the end of that episode unknown and uncertain.

Dyson returned at the beginning of the Fourth Season, seemingly uninjured from the car crash, but the whereabouts of Tamsin were unknown. His memories were altered by unknown persons so that he no longer remembered Bo. As a result his relationship with Kenzi, Hale and Trick seemed to be changed to an extent. Encountering Aife with Kenzi, he realized that there were changes in his and other memories and set out with Kenzi to repair the damage. Upon regaining his memories, Dyson set out in search of Tamsin and Bo to find out what happened to them, eventually locating them both. His relationship with Bo was rekindled with the absence of Lauren, but nonetheless he went in search of Lauren next, found her and they were reunited. However, the mystery of Bo's disappearance, and then the revelation that she had signed a pledge with the Dark Fae created some strife among Dyson and Bo. When Bo left for the Death Train and then returned with Rainer, The Wanderer at her side, the situation became worse when Bo declared Rainer to be her "destiny." Following this event, Dyson, along with Bo's other friends, were locked out of her life. Dyson also took it upon himself to train Kenzi to be a Shadow Thief. Following the death of Rainer, Dyson expressed his love to Bo and formally gave fealty to her, saying that he was meant to serve a Queen, not a King. When the portal that Bo's Father was intending to use to arrive on Earth was found, Dyson, along with Tamsin and Trick defended against the oncoming hordes of Remnants. Dyson attempted to stop Kenzi from sacrificing herself in order to close the portal, but did not manage to do so and was witness to Kenzi's death having to stop Bo from going to Kenzi's side. Following Kenzi's death, Dyson went to the gates of Valhalla where he found Tamsin who had taken both Kenzi and Rainer's souls there and helped her away.

At the end of the Fourth Season, Dyson's whereabouts where not exactly known, though he was close by, possibly with Tamsin or Bo.

Character History

First Season

Dyson's first appearance came in the series premiere episode It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where he and Hale, acting in their human world roles as police detectives, investigated a death. They came to the conclusion that the death was caused by one of the Fae and began a search. The death was caused by Bo feeding on a human being in order to save Kenzi from being raped. Dyson and Hale captured Bo and took her to the Light Fae where she was confronted by The Ash and then examined by the Light Fae doctor Lauren. Before Bo must fight for her life, Dyson, for reasons we are not told at that time, allowed Bo to feed from him. He does however stop Bo before she takes too much from him, thus giving her the strength to win her battle. Afterwards Dyson returns Bo and Kenzi back to the alley were he and Hale had captured Bo. Giving Bo his business card, he wishes her luck and drives off. While it is clear that Dyson is Fae, in this episode it is not made clear what kind of Fae he is.

During Where There's a Will, There's a Fae, Bo approached Dyson for help in solving a mystery at one point in the episode. Dyson also introduced Bo to Trick and the Dal Riata neutral Fae meeting place. During this point in the episode, Dyson met with Trick and it was made clear there was some sort of relationship between them and they were holding secrets about Bo's past. As a result of injuries that Bo suffered in the episode, Dyson allowed Bo to feed upon him as they shared a night together. It was also shown that Dyson had a number of tattoos on his body, but no information about them was revealed.

Oh Kappa, My Kappa found Dyson still with Bo and seeming to become very involved with her, if not possibly in love with her. This episode also marked the first time that Dyson shifted into his wolf form, that being a white haired wolf. It was shown that Dyson had secret Fae files on some crimes and he works to keep Fae matters and out of the official police files. Dyson was summoned by Trick and told that he needed to break up with Bo because he was becoming too involved with her. At the end of the episode, Bo decided to tell Dyson how she felt about him, but found him involved with another Fae. Dyson told Bo that when they were together it was only to heal her and that was all it could ever be in order to follow Trick's orders to him. After Bo left, Dyson's displeasure with what he did was made clear to Trick, but to no avail.

During Faetal Attraction, Dyson saw a police psychiatrist in an attempt to overcome his conflicting emotions and honor over Bo which was interfering with his human role as a detective among other issues. He did help Bo in her ongoing investigation during this episode as well.

As part of Dead Lucky, Dyson and Bo set out several ground rules about their relationship which included: Bo can take any job she wants in her detective agency, but Dyson would be kept informed to what she is doing and the other was that each of them can see other people outside of their relationship. Dyson assisted Bo in another case by providing information and the occasional muscle to back her up. Dyson was also confronted by Kenzi over his attitude and actions towards Bo, noting that she could see through his act if Bo couldn't. Kenzi also told Dyson that she was off "Team Dyson" and stuck a "I'm Stupid" post-it note on his jacket before leaving. Later in the episode, Bo and Dyson wound up in a back room together, the walls in the Dal Riata shaking, things falling off the walls, while Hale and Kenzi attempted to ignore what was happening.

Food for Thought found Dyson helping Bo in another investigation, but the episode was more notable for the change in relationship between Kenzi and Dyson. When Kenzi's life came to risk during the episode from something she ate in error, Dyson promises Kenzi that he would take her somewhere safe to stay. She agrees and in doing so, seemed to come to trust him more than she had in the past. After arriving at the Dal Riata, an interesting comment was made between Dyson and Trick that Dyson doesn’t always do what the Ash ordered. Trick noted that the Ash wasn’t supposed to know that. Dyson talked with Kenzi, the pair coming to an understanding between them. Kenzi told Dyson that she sees things because people look at Bo and not her. She told him that she could see that he was helping Bo in spite of the pain and damage he took. Kenzi then demanded that when she was gone, Dyson would watch Bo’s back. Dyson tried to avoid that promise, but the expressions from him proved that he would do what Kenzi asked. After Kenzi's life is saved, Bo and Dyson spent some time talking about how Bo had gotten some good points with The Ash for what she did. Bo told Dyson that she had better control over her feeding and could manage to control it better than before. She mentioned that she could probably have sex with humans again, but Dyson seemed none too happy about that idea. Dyson was even more unhappy when Bo suggested that she might see other people.

During ArachnoFaebia, Dyson fought to save Bo, Hale and Kenzi when they were bitten by a spinder-like Fae against the wishes of The Ash, and succeeded in during so barely in time with Lauren's help. He also confronted Lauren for her actions in the episode noting that what she did almost killed Bo. Dyson also warned Bo that Lauren was too close to the Ash and that Bo was too close to Lauren, which concerned him greatly.

In Vexed, Dyson and Bo were seen in another sexual feeding encounter and afterwards Dyson commented that Lauren could never love Bo, to which Bo replied that their relationship wasn’t about love. Dyson also warned Bo that he would no longer help her to heal, saying that she needs to learn something for her own good. During the episode Dyson and Bo come to blows over Bo's current case, but to no avail for either of them. Dyson also warned Bo that she must choose a side wit the Fae to stay alive once again. When Bo finally confronts Vex in this episode and attempted to kill him, Dyson stopped Bo and her rage turned to Dyson for a moment before Dyson admitted to Bo that he cared about her.

Fae Day revealed that Dyson was intimately connected to Trick and learned that Trick had arranged for Lou Ann, Bo’s midwife, who had been the focus of the previous episode, to not in fact be executed. Dyson confronted Trick and asked how long they would continue to keep Bo in the dark about who her mother is as Dyson admits that he hated lying to Bo and Trick responded that Dyson shouldn’t have gotten personally involved. A further question was asked by Dyson about what they would do if, or when, Bo's mother appeared, but no plans were mentioned by either. Dyson helped Bo to interrogate a Banshee during the episode and then helped Bo to locate the brother of a Fae who's life was threatened. Dyson told Bo at one point that he was doing everything that he could to protect her and Bo replied that she trusted him without reservations. As part of an attempt to solve an argument between the Far brothers, Bo intervenes, and when Trick told Bo that she needed to have someone chosen to kill her if the attempt failed, Dyson steps forward to take that duty. At the end of the episode, Dyson and Trick talk about Bo's actions, Dyson being proud of Bo that she did not crumble in the face of death, defending her to Trick and stressing that Bo is strong and deserved to know the truth from them both. At the end of the episode, Dyson toasts Trick as the Blood King, revealing Trick's secret past.

During The Mourning After Dyson examined a case that appeared to be a suicide, but turned out to be Fae related. As well, Dyson's relationship with Bo became stronger during the episode which laid out the path of their relationship and events in the rest of the first season.

Faetal Justice found Dyson accused of killing a Dark Fae. This brought him to seek sanctuary with Trick in an attempt to protect himself from The Ash and The Morrigan. Having no other choice, Dyson was forced to rely on Bo to prove his innocence. During the course of the episode that Dyson had once lived in Spain as well as Iceland in the past, and that he had not always been a cop. As part of his attempt to find answers, Dyson allowed a Fae called a Kirin to look through his memories, but to no avail. It is revealed that Dyson was a Stone Warrior until the past fifty years when he took on the role of a Detective. It is also noted that Dyson has a lot of enemies because of his past. When Dyson is taken to The Morrigan, she attempted to extract information about Bo from him, but Dyson refused her wishes. After Bo discovered the truth about what happened and rescued Dyson, their relationship moved to a new level of understanding.

In (Dis)Members Only Bo and Dyson posed as a married couple to investigate a country club where a series of murders took place. During the episode, it was clear that Bo and Dyson were moving their relationship onwards to being a couple, and falling in love with each other. Dyson tells Bo that wolfs mate for life and she should be careful what she asks for from him. After Dyson agrees that there will be no secrets between them he tells Trick that if he did not tell Bo everything by that evening, he would. At the end of the episode, Dyson is attacked by Aife, Bo's mother, masquerading as Sakia. It was clear during the attack that Dyson knew exactly who Aife was and what her relationship to Bo was. Bo managed to stop Aife before Dyson was killed and then used her power to breathed life back into Dyson and revived him.

The first season finale Blood Lines revealed much about Dyson that had been hidden to that point in the series. Dyson explained to Bo that Saskia was in fact Aife, who was Bo's mother and that Dyson had been expecting her to come after Bo for some time. Dyson also revealed to Bo that the truth was Trick's to reveal to her which created some conflict between Bo, Dyson and Trick in the episode. As Aife attacked the Fae with the intent to start a war, Dyson tried to make amends with Bo and heal their relationship, but this does not unfold as Dyson had hoped. When Bo left to confront Aife, Dyson then turned to The Norn and offered his most precious thing, which he believed was his wolf, to help Bo win the battle. But instead The Norn took Dyson's love for Bo which shattered him physically and emotionally. In the aftermath of the episode, the last image of Dyson is of him in pain somewhere in the darkness. He then shifted into his wolf form and raced off into the forest alone.

At the end of the First Season, Dyson had become very close to Bo and had become intimately involved with her against the wishes of Trick. Dyson had also begun a relationship, similar to that of siblings, between himself and Kenzi. Over the course of the season, it became clear that Dyson was hiding something from Bo and when that was revealed, their relationship suffered as a result. However, in spite of this, Dyson felt compelled to sacrifice what he valued most, Bo's love, in order to help Bo overcome Aife, her mother, and survive. The results of this decision and its implications would resonate throughout the following seasons of the series.

Second Season

Dyson's first appearance in the Second Season was in the season premiere Something Wicked This Fae Comes in which Dyson returned after being missing for three weeks since seeing The Norn, but upon his return Dyson seemed aloof to Bo and their relationship suffered as a result. During the episode Dyson admitted to Bo that The Norn took his love for her and that they could not be together as a result of he not having any feelings for her. However, this does not stop Dyson from helping Bo to overcome a plot against the Fae during the episode.

In I Fought the Fae (And the Fae Won), Dyson continued to be moody and disconnected from Bo and everyone else. Hale noted that Dyson seemed to be "going feral" as he seemed to be spending more time in his wolf form hunting. Dyson comes to odds with Bo over her protection of a wanted Fae which then drew them both into the politics of the Light Fae as a result. Bo demanded that Dyson talk to her about what had happened and Dyson with some reservations, agreed. Dyson later worked with Bo and Hale in an attempt to influence the choice of the new Ash with the goal of attempting to save the Fae who was to be hunted as part of the ceremonies. Dyson directly assisted the Fae in the hunt and with the help of Lauren, managed to save her. Eventually Dyson met with Bo where he explained that everything was his fault and that wolves mate for life and that he did not regret giving that love to Bo, but The Norn took it. When Bo attempted to make Dyson believe that they could defeat The Norn, he did not accept that and told Bo to move on with her life before he left as he also had to.

During Scream a Little Dream Dyson appeared in two of Bo's dreams which turned into nightmares as the result of another Fae's actions. Dyson did not appear otherwise in the episode, though the appearances reflected Bo's own wants and fears about Dyson.

As part of Mirror, Mirror Kenzi, while drunk, accidentally invoked the witch Baba Yaga to put a curse on Dyson for breaking Bo's heart. Dyson discovered that all women now hated him and became furious with Kenzi; he accused her of meddling with things she didn't understand, and being a stupid human. In spite of this, when Kenzi is kidnapped, he assisted Bo in a rescue attempt and in the process of that attempt saved Bo's life when she almost drowned.

Fourth Season

Dyson's first appearance in the Fourth Season was in the premiere episode In Memoriam. He had survived going over the cliff with Tamsin in the Third Season finale Those Who Wander, but the circumstances of how he survived and what Tamsin's condition was remained clear and unexplained. As a result of the actions of unknown persons, Dyson, along with everyone else that was aware of Bo, had their memories altered so that they were not aware of her. As a result, Dyson's relationship with Kenzi, Hale and Trick changed to various extents. Dyson became more adversarial towards the others, somewhat more emotionally attracted to Kenzi and slightly distant towards Trick. After encountering Aife, whom he did not remember meeting before, he became aware of memories being altered and set out with Kenzi and Hale to find a means to correct their memories. Dyson also confronted Vex about his becoming the New Morrigan and what happened to the previous The Morrigan. The result of that meeting was Vex gave Dyson invitations to a party they needed to attend. In doing so, Dyson, along with Kenzi and Hale, performed a Tango which gained Kenzi access to an item they needed to correct the changed memories. As this occurred, Dyson fought Vex for a time before Hale took over the fight. This allowed Dyson to save Kenzi and then help her to correct everyone's memories. Following this, Dyson remembered what happened to Tamsin and his love for Bo which drove him to find out what happened to them.

He next appeared in Sleeping Beauty School where he found Tamsin, who had reverted to the physical age of a child. After leaving her with Kenzi, Dyson went in search of a means to find Bo who had been removed from the plane of existence she should have been on by The Wanderer. After a long search and being misled, he found the Fae he needed, Cleo, who Dyson had met in the previous episode. With her help Dyson boarded what Cleo called a Death Train and left in search of Bo with her.

In Lovers. Apart., Dyson and Cleo found themselves on the Death Train, but Bo had left just before they arrived. Following her, they found Bo trying to help a family to deal with a curse which caused the murders of previous generations of their family due to being possessed by what they called a ghost. With the help of Cleo, he and Bo were able to end the curse and free both the family and the ghost. After Bo defeated Cleo, who tried to take Bo from Dyson as part of a deal she made with Vex, he then drove Bo home to be reunited with her friends and family.

During Turn to Stone, Dyson's relationship with Bo seemed to be rekindled after the events they had both been through, at one point becoming intimate. When Tamsin aged back to her previous physical age, Dyson looked after her for a time before she fell into the hands of the Druid Massimo. Dyson also made a promise to Kenzi in the aftermath of Massimo's seeming death to show her a means to be "equal" to the Fae when the time was right.

Dyson returned in Of All the Gin Joints and told Bo that Lauren had joined the Dark Fae, but she was already aware of that fact. Bo also told Dyson that she had joined the Dark Fae because of the Wanderer, which upset him, but Dyson was determined to find a solution. Over the course of the episode, Bo's more aggressive tendencies were seen by Dyson and they became intimate several times. At the end of the episode, Dyson was confronted by the Una Mens who accused Dyson of breaking the Blood Laws, but what laws he broke were not made clear at that time.

In La Fae Époque, it was revealed that Dyson was facing execution as a result of a crime which the Una Mens claimed he was guilty of from 1890s France. Bo entered Dyson's memories with the help of Lauren and discovered that several events had occurred during and around that time. According to those memories, Dyson was responsible for the events at Rotterdam in 1864, the fire at Boijmans. London 1817, and the Poyais scheme. He was known as a rogue, and had his way with many women across Europe. At this time he also came into contact with Trick who told him of the Helskór, a pair of shoes that were very valuable. At this point, Dyson called him Trick for the first time and this may have been the origin of Trick's name. Dyson attempted to steal those shoes with the help of Flora, a Fae he knew at that time. Flora was possessed by the shoes and went on a killing spree before Dyson stopped her. Flora was then killed by an, at that time, known person who demanded the shoes. Trick then intervened and Dyson took the shoes before meeting with Trick. Trick then revealed himself to be the Blood King and Dyson swore fealty to the Blood King, taking the role of second to Trick and joining him on a voyage to the New World to establish a Fae colony there. In the current time of the series, Dyson found himself imprisoned with Kenzi after she was discovered in an attempt to free him. While they were alone, Dyson promised Kenzi that when they were freed he would teach her to be a Shadow Thief, but did not explain what that meant. In order to save Kenzi, Dyson offered the Helskór to the Una Mens in trade. However, it turned out that Bo beat the Una Mens to the Helskór and proved they were guilty of the events of the past. Bo then made a deal with them to free both Dyson and Kenzi and Hale, who had been imprisoned elsewhere. Following this, Dyson joined Bo and his other friends in planning out their next move at the Dal Riata.

During Groundhog Fae, Dyson was involved in a drunken debate with Lauren over whether they should give Bo a package that Lauren found which was addressed to Bo in Bo's handwriting. The debate was moderated by a drunken Vex, who refereed the debate. No clear decision was made by the end of the debate, but Dyson and Lauren settled their strife with one another over their relationships with Bo. At the end of the episode, Dyson was unconscious when Kenzi found him, Vex and Lauren having left him with the package, and took the package to Bo, not knowing what was in it or the argument that Dyson and Lauren had.

In Destiny's Child, Dyson attempted, along with Lauren to travel with Bo to confront The Wanderer. but was refused. Afterwards, he and Lauren went in search of Bo, assuming that she was being double-crossed. They came to her aid and overcame a pair of brothers who were working for The Wanderer. However, again both he and Lauren were not allowed to accompany Bo when she was finally taken to The Wanderer. Returning to the Dal Riata, he was present along with Trick and Lauren when Bo returned with The Wanderer, now known by his true name Rainer, and watched as Bo declared Rainer to be her "destiny".

During Waves, Dyson had to deal with being locked out of Bo's life along with all of Bo's friends when Rainer, The Wanderer moved in with Bo. It was also revealed that Dyson had been teaching Kenzi to be a Shadow Thief and she had progressed far enough in her training that she was able to remove Lauren's panties without her knowing. Dyson claimed that he did not teach Kenzi how to do this however. Dyson joined Kenzi in going undercover to investigate why a Fae's legs where taken under mysterious circumstances, eventually discovering that merfolk were involved and overcoming them by the end of the episode with Lauren's help.

In End of a Line, Dyson was involved in Bo's search for answers when a zombie attacked her and it seemed as if Rainer was responsible. By the end of the episode, Dyson had confronted Bo about her relationship with Rainer and when Bo could not answer his questions, seemed to bring their relationship to a close at least on a personal level. In the aftermath of this, Tamsin seduced Dyson with the intention of being more than his partner on the police force.

During Origin, Dyson attended Hale's funeral with Bo, Kenzi and Tamsin, Dyson delivering the eulogy. Later he was with Bo and Kenzi when they confronted Massimo for his killing Hale. However, when Massimo whispered to Dyson that he would "watch friends die and do nothing about it" he did not allow Kenzi to obtain her revenge and imprisoned Massimo in Trick's lair. Later in the episode, Bo asked for advice about what to do with regards to Rainer, but Dyson refused to give Bo any advice. Soon after, Dyson revealed that Hale had bequeathed the Zamora family code and a crest to him. When Tamsin examined the crest, and the true family code was revealed, these events made Dyson tell Bo that she was "The One."

He appeared in the season finale Dark Horse where, following the death of Rainer, Dyson expressed his love to Bo and formally gave fealty to her, saying that he was meant to serve a Queen, not a King. When the portal that Bo's Father was intending to use to arrive on Earth was found, Dyson, along with Tamsin and Trick defended against the oncoming hordes of Remnants. Dyson attempted to stop Kenzi from sacrificing herself in order to close the portal, but did not manage to do so and was witness to Kenzi's death having to stop Bo from going to Kenzi's side. Following Kenzi's death, Dyson went to the gates of Valhalla where he found Tamsin who had taken both Kenzi and Rainer's souls there and helped her away.

At the end of the Fourth Season, Dyson's whereabouts where not exactly known, though he was close by, possibly with Tamsin or Bo.

Powers and Abilities

Dyson is a Light Fae Wolf-Shifter, or Lycan or what is colloquially called a werewolf. While there are apparently many different kinds of what are termed canine-shifters, they all tend to have the heightened senses of the canine in their human forms as well. Dyson possesses in his human form greater strength, reaction time, sense of hearing, smell, taste and touch than a normal human being would. It would appear, based on the other wolf-shifters that have appeared in the series that a characteristic of the wolf-shifters in that they tend to have warrior or similar types of personality which include having tattoos drawn on this bodies which represent various battles, significant moments in their lives and as well those they may have served with, fought for, or been intimate with.

As explained by Dyson, the mortal enemy of a wolf-shifter is a Lupercus, a Fae who's control of their shifting ability is not as advanced as a wolf-shifter's would be. They tend to be more violent and almost UnderFae in nature.

Dyson also has the ability to shift into a form which resembles that of a wolf, but also he can alter his normal human appearance so that his facial and body features appear to be slightly wolfish in nature making him appear more fearsome to others. Dyson has stated that his kind of Fae "mate for life" and when he chose Bo as his mate he would be unable to love anyone else for the rest of this life.

Beyond his Fae abilities, Dyson is an excellent fighter, both with and without weapons, is highly intelligent, and knows a great deal about Fae culture. He has used his Fae abilities to solve many cases in his human role as a police Detective, using his senses to solve many crimes. However, he did note that kitty litter does interfere with his sense of smell.
