Role on Lost Girl
He plays the role of Dyson on Lost Girl. Dyson is a homicide detective in the human world, but is in fact a Fae called a wolf-shifter. He appears to be middle-aged but is at least several centuries in age. His history that has been revealed tells that Dysoo spent centuries in Ireland serving a wolf-shifter king with his childhood friend, Stefan. After Stefan was betrayed by that king, Dyson became a lone wolf, left Ireland, and eventually came in contact with Trick.
At the time of the Lost Girl series, Dyson was operating both for the Ash and for Trick, as well as his human world role. He became intimate with Bo and over time gave himself to her, mating with her for life. He gave up that love to help Bo defeat her mother in the Season One finale. Over the course of the second season, he became more isolated and his relationship with Bo was torn apart. Through this, Ciara, the wife of Stefan, appeared and he began a relationship with her. Ciara was killed by the Garuda near the end of Season Two, which shattered Dyson further still. Eventually, with the help of Kenzi, he recovered his love for Bo from the Norn that took it from him. At the Second Season finale, he stood with Bo and his friends to defeat the Garuda and was on the path to recover his relationship with Bo.
