Biography

Tyler grew up on Jackson's Star situated in ringed-planet LV-410 and was the older brother of Kay Harrison as well as the cousin of Bjorn. Sometime before, Harrison engaged in an intimate relationship with Carradine before breaking off. Just before the heist, Harrison lost his father due to the mine's dangerous conditions, forcing him to raise Kay.

In 2142, when Navarro detected the signal of a derelict Weyland-Yutani ship, Harrison asked Carradine for help to let them use Andy as a way to communicate with the MU/TH/UR mainframe aboard the station and steal hypersleep chambers to perform the nine light years travel to Yvaga III in search of better living conditions. Initially hesitant to take part in a criminal trespass of the company's property and putting Andy in danger, Harrison managed to convinced Carradine to pursued better lives themselves as opposed to relying on Weyland-Yutani Corporation's travel permits. The group left in the mining hauler Corbelan IV to the derelict craft in which they discovered research outpost named Renaissance, divided into the sections Romulus and Remus.

During their trip, Harrison taken charge of locating the pods with Andy and Bjorn followed behind. Harrison frequently protected Andy from Bjorn's abusive antics due to Andy's synthetic roots and his grudge against one for sacrificing his mother. Harrison, Andy and Bjorn board the station and fix the unstable gravity and atmosphere generators. However, they discovered the hypersleep chambers don't have enough fuel for the nine-year trip to Yvaga. During their search, Bjorn revealed the fact that Carradine had been trying to hid him from, Andy was content with staying in the mining colony while helping them reach Yvaga in order to complete Rain's father directive to which Harrison was thankful.

The trio located a large, still-functioning cryonic chamber next to a laboratory and scavenge its fuel. In doing so, they inadvertently revived the frozen Facehugger specimens inside and triggered an automatic lockdown. The Facehuggers attacked them, and Andy didn't have the security clearance needed to override the lockdown, prompting Navarro and Carradine to come to their rescue. Carradine removed a chip from a destroyed synthetic and handed to Harrison who inserted in Andy who temporarily rebooted. Soon, the crew is pursued by a horde of Facehuggers with one attached itself to Navarro. Following unsuccessful attempts to release her from its grip, Carradine reactivated the destroyed synthetic, Rook, to ask for help. Rook stated that Navarro cannot be saved. However, Carradine proposed that they freeze its tail to get it off Navarro to which Harrison executed. The idea worked, allowing the group to removed the creature from her face. Rook still warned that Navarro may have been implanted by the creature. From then on, Rook began to subtly influence Andy, pushing him to prioritize Weyland-Yutani's mission.

Fearful that Andy was going to kill Navarro, Bjorn flees with Navarro and abandoned Harrison, Carradine and Andy back at the station. Harrison tried to contact Bjorn into letting them back on the vessel but was unsuccessful. Soon, Navarro and Bjorn were killed by the newly-born Xenomorph with the unstable Corbelan IV crashed into the Romulus hangar bay in which they witnessed through the station's camera feed. The impact destabilized Renaissance, which now had less than an hour before crashing into the rings of LV-410. On their way to hanger, they were almost subdued by a horde of Facehuggers with Andy started to show his callousness towards their life. Along the way, Harrison blamed himself for the dangers he put them in but Carradine was adamant to take the blame alongside him and the crew. Upon arriving, they encountered Kay who begged to be let in, was refused by Andy who noticed a Xenomorph stalking her. Despite Harrison's begging and Carradine's protests and pleas, Andy refused to open which led to the Xenomorph grabbed Kay and pulled her out of their sight. Thinking Kay was killed, Carradine slapped Andy out of anger and Harrison begging Andy to open the door to check on his sister's chance of survivability.

Now focused on his new directives, Andy brings Carradine and Harrison into the lab where he recovered samples of experimental fluid extracted from the Xenomorphs, codenamed "Z-01". The former insisted the samples must be returned to Jackson's Star, taken control of Renaissance's computers and refused to let the Corbelan IV leave without the samples onboard. Before leaving, Carradine noticed that Xenomorph was hunting for them, so Andy had them armed with F44AA Pulse Rifles to fight their way back to the ship with Harrison showing her how to armed herself from his knowledge of games and magazines. Entering a corridor turned to a Xenomorph hive, Harrison heard Kay crying, leading to the trio finding her severely injured in a cocoon. After she is freed, Andy noticed Kay's injuries and suggested that injecting her with Z-01 could possibly heal her. However, Carradine stopped Harrison from following through the idea and proposed to get her into cryostasis and back to the colony for treatment. The Xenomorphs attack, piercing Harrison who sacrificed himself to save Carradine and was dragged to the upper part of the hive. Harrison is head-bitten and mauled to death by multiple Xenomorphs.
