Tyler Krauss

== Tyler Krauss ==
Tyler Krauss was an American-Canadian electrician and the son of American General Nathan Krauss. Unlike his older brother, Krauss kept himself farther removed from his father, who he had little respect for. When he was an older teen, he decided to live exclusively with his mother in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He later moved to Toronto, Canada, as a valuable and experienced electrician. Following the Great Collapse, he continued his work as a much needed asset to unions in the city.
Krauss formed a short lived relationship with Maria Burnett, who became pregnant after the two had a one night stand. Following the birth of her child, Krauss found a new partner, and along with his mother Sandra Davis, they pressed for partial custody of Karuna Burnett.
After Krauss felt Burnett's actions in raising their child were too dangerous, he had Karuna abducted in an effort to have full custody over her. Burnett found out and confronted him in Toronto, but unknowingly led Lyons Russel to the household, who had previously killed Krauss' father. In a confrontation, Krauss' significant other was killed, and he was shot in the head. Krauss survived, but was paralyzed in most of his body following the attack.
== Early Life ==
Krauss was born on 14 April 1997 in Camp Pendleton, a military base in South California. He was born to Nathan Krauss, who, at the time, was a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. His mother, Sandra Davis Krauss, did not work at the time. Krauss was raised in base housing with his half-brother, Anthony Krauss, until he was about three. The family moved to Cherry Point station following his father's promotion to Captain.
In 2001, Tyler's father departed to Afghanistan, where he returned to the United States infrequently. He was raised near exclusively by his father until he was eight, when Nathan Krauss retired as a Major with an honorable discharge. In 2008, the family was suddenly uprooted from North Carolina and moved to State College, Pennsylvania, due to a job offer from Nathan Krauss. The family moved to a property with a run-down house, and because of the state of the property and the stress from moving, Krauss' mother and father began to fight. They divorced later that year.
Krauss lived between households in State College, and Pittsburgh, where his father and mother lived respectively. However, in 2012, Krauss' brother moved out of the household, and Tyler made the decision to live exclusively with his mother.
