Tyler Dallmer (Rise)

Tyler Dallmer was a survivor of the outbreak in Rise, and is a main character in the first, second, and third seasons of the series. He is assumed to be the brother of Dalton Dallmer. At the start of the apocalypse, Tyler is a part of the crew of workers that decided to stay behind at the Foxwood Shipping building along with Reggie Harbaugh, Jack O'Rourke, and Shauna King. After executive Jalen Tormo shows up after traveling from New York to check in on his employees, it is revealed that he was scratched by a monster before his departure that he assumed was a man drugged with something. After Jalen takes a nap to fight off a stomach ache, Reggie and Jack find him to have died from the scratch and succumbed to the infection, only for him to reanimate soon after and begin to attack the group. After Reggie and Jack kill Jalen, the group begins to fortify and defend the building until the following day, when Jack and Shauna go out in search of Shauna's brother Devon. After a few hours of looking after the building, Tyler and Reggie are attacked by The Man, who locks Reggie in a trunk and proceeds to attempt to throw Tyler off of the roof of the building, only for Reggie to break free and shoot the Man in the shoulder with an arrow. After Tyler incapacitates the Man, Jack and Shauna arrive wounded after having been saved by John Callis, Jessica Callis, Emilio Vasquez, Troy Austin, and Katie Dawson. Following the planning of an attempt to ask the Man questions as to why he attacked Tyler and Reggie, the group are greeted by Charlotte Walters, who collects the Man and exits the building, only to order her soldiers to blow up the Foxwood Shipping building at the end of the first season.
Meeting his demise in the third season finale, Tyler sacrifices his life to detonate the nuclear explosive stored below the grounds of Sheol, destroying the community and much of the surrounding area to keep the grounds from being discovered and overtaken by potentially looming New World Order affiliations, or other Sheol-esque communities.
