Tyson can let go of his anger very easily.
He can give a man emotional whiplash, bouncing between two emotions without any transition, but Tyson finds that anger is easier than others. He doesn’t get hit with a blinding rage, but more like little sparks of anger breaking through his calm, quickly defused with a plan to deal with whatever is upsetting him. For Tyson, anger is more of a catalyst for other emotions than a driving force.
As an exception to almost every rule, Moran can provoke Tyson to anger better than anyone else, but his anger is still quickly dispersed. What Sebastian Moran is best at is getting Tyson to show that anger for the brief moment it’s there, rather than suppressing it. He’s turned baiting Tyson into a sport.
When something truly upsets him, Tyson can be bristling with anger for the duration of that encounter, but the moment he’s away from whatever is upsetting him or it has been dealt with, Tyson immediately settles down. The Soldier holds onto their anger more, but as a focal point, a facade through which he can maintain control.
Given his encounters with The Colonel’s temper, Tyson handles the anger of other people better than might be expected. Largely this is due to the big explosive personalities Tyson has to deal with when working for the web and the way tempers flared in such a high-stress situation during his time in the army.
Anger puts Tyson on edge, he’s always preparing for an attack or escape even in the calmest of moments, but he isn’t the type to immediately parrot another’s anger; unlike his brother, Jethro. Tyson’s morals and to an extent his behaviour reflect those around him, not necessarily his emotions.
Often it’s his job to keep a level head. Tyson may be afraid and skittish when he doesn’t have a mission to focus himself, but he knows how to get a job done. Tyson knows how to keep control over himself.
Though Tyson isn’t great at reading people in general, anger is one of the few emotions that Tyson can reliably read when he isn’t running off of pure instinct. He spent so long on watch for Sebastian’s alcohol-fuelled rages, that Tyson is usually the first person in the room to notice someone edging towards anger.
