Sunstroke number one.

Drakalo was where he first passed out because of the heat. The doctor who took care of him spoke very little English, so when Tyson first came to he tried to runaway but only managed to get two metres before collapsing.

Under the trees.

Tyson kept as close to trees as he could in Pakistan. He enjoyed the relative cool the shade provided, during the day time trips he passed out from heat strokes twice. The first time he was in a village and a doctor took care of him. The second time he had been found and moved to a village where a hospital checked him over.

Monastery Mishap

When he stayed in the monastery in Pakistan he stayed because he thought it would be safe to stay there as the military would be cautious to enter a religious area, and when they did it would  only be one or two of them. He was correct. When they entered a monk helped him out through the Southern entrance to the monastry and gave him a canteen of water for the journey.

Jethro?

Why is he called Jethro?

Tyson's brother is called Jethro because it means overachieve which is a trait their father would want in a son.

Going the distance

He travelled by day once he was with Lily because he knew the army would expect him to go by night so during the day he could build up a good distance.

North vs South

Despite it being the part of Pakistan he explored with Sebastian, Tyson enjoyed the north of Pakistan better than the south. Mainly because he doesn't enjoy being in the heat for too long and with Sebastian most of the travelling was done by night and by day they stayed in the shade to sleep.

Meeting the mutt.

Tyson met Lily when she was one she is now three years old. She was one when they met which means that she was young enough to train easily as she had developed few bad habits and her breed meant she picked up the training with relative ease.

He knows Jim's coffee order of by heart. When he's gone to make a cup of tea in the mornings he has found himself accidentally making Jim's coffee instead.

He was never into watching football but when asked what team he supports he answers Burnley because when he was growing up that was the only team he knew who most of the players were.

Tyson's uncle was an English teacher, until he retired following his brother's (Tyson's father) early death due to work-based stress.

The dots show what happened to Tyson or what Tyson did on his journey.
The arrows going right to left are where Tyson met Lily, when Tyson was nearly apprehended by the military, where Tyson broke his wrist climbing over a wall, and where he stayed several night because it seemed safe.

His grandmother taught him piano. Tyson asked to learn to stop Jethro butchering the violin, at his older brother's request. 

When Tyson lies his left ring finger twitches because Sebastian broke it for lying to him.

Sebastian didn't purposefully break it, but it was a side effect of his assault.

Tyson and Jethro set up an emergency bank account using the money their mother left them. It was set up in case one of them became homeless, each year they both put £100 in the account.

At the time it was unnecessary as both had access to the family fortune, however neither would have put it past their father to cut off their access for disobeying him.

When Tyson first joined the military he trained the dogs before being moved to front line combat.

His military carrier lasted eleven years.

He is better at hand to hand combat than with a gun, he knows all the nerve points to hit.

That said, Tyson would prefer to have the option of working with a knife over having no weapon at all.

He was in the First Bangalore Pioneers as a Strategist.

When on the run from the military with Sebastian they spent two weeks in a Monestry in India so Tyson's ribs could heal. Whilst there the monk who put his ribs back in place taught him to meditate to regulate his breathing so he would be in less pain. Tyson regularly meditates because it helps him think.

Tyson had previously learnt how to calm down and breath with Jasmine, but she had taught him how to calm down after an anxiety attack. Not how to breath in a way that minimised the movement of his ribs.

His preferred drink is Jasmine and Pomegranate tea, it reminds him of his Grandmother.

She drank Jasmine tea more often than not, and her perfume smelled like Pomegranate.
