Dyson, proper name unknown, was the name of a character that appeared in the Lost Girl television series who was one of Bo's friends and was also her lover at one point in the series. Dyson has appeared in a total of thirteen First Season episodes, twenty Second Season episodes and twelve Third Season episodes. Dyson was Fae in nature and specifically a Wolf-Shifter having powers and abilities similar to that of a werewolf. The role was played by the actor Kris Holden-Ried. He first appeared in the premiere episode of the series It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where he was in search of Bo, who had killed a human in public which brought her to the attention of the Fae leadership. With Hale's help, Dyson was able to bring both Bo and Kenzi into the world of the Fae beginning his relationship with Bo which lasted throughout the series.

Through the series, Dyson's role in the human world was as a Homicide Detective in the 39th Division of the local police force, his partner for the first two seasons being Hale. Dyson in his role with the Fae served the wishes of The Ash as one of their investigators with regards to Fae crimes. When Hale became the The Acting Ash in the Third Season of the series, Dyson was teamed up with Tamsin, a Dark Fae Valkyrie in what was called an experiment to improve relations between the Light Fae and Dark Fae. Throughout the series he also acted as Trick's confidant and lieutenant, knowing that Trick was in fact the Blood King and acting in his best interests when required to do so. While appearing middle-aged, Dyson was at least 1,500 year old and possibly older. His past included living in Ireland for a time and serving the King of Ailech with his friend Stefan and his wife Ciara. Dyson broke his connections with his pack at that time when the King betrayed Stefan, having him killed on a mission and making it possible for the King to marry Ciara. Upon doing so, Dyson became a lone wolf with no pack allegiance until he encountered Trick sometime in the past and swore allegiance to him. While Dyson appeared to serve The Ash of the local Fae community during the series, his true ties to Trick were kept secret.

Dyson was very protective of those he called his friends, placing his own life in jeopardy many times. He offered himself initially as a means for Bo to feed as he could survive her feedings, though he was weakened by them. As his relationship with Bo became more intimate, he came into conflict, at least with regards to Bo, with Lauren who also was a lover of Bo's. At the end of the First Season, Dyson sacrificed his love for Bo to The Norn in order to help her defeat her mother Aife. After this occurred, his relationship with Bo faded over the course of the Second Season and he eventually became involved with Ciara. He was unable to love Ciara however as he explained, his love was taken away and "wolves mate for life" meaning that even if his love was returned, he would not truly love anyone else save Bo. Kenzi eventually recovered what The Norn had taken at a price, and Dyson's love for Bo was revived one more. In the Third Season, Dyson found that his inability to reveal to Bo that he did love her again allowed Lauren to have a closer relationship with Bo, eventually causing her to try to make a monogamous relationship with Lauren which failed when it became clear that Bo could not survive and her feeding on Lauren was harming her. Dyson still had a relationship with Bo, but out of respect for what Bo and Lauren had together, decided to wait and not push the issue as he knew that he could, and would, wait for Bo however long it might take. During the Third Season, with Hale becoming The Acting Ash, he was teamed up with Tasmin, a Dark Fae and had an adversarial relationship with her, especially when it came to Tamsin's opinions and actions against Bo. Dyson stood by Bo's side when she faced her Dawning and he died there, but was returned to life when Bo returned from her test with his body and used her powers to revive him.

His final current appearance in the series was in the third season finale Those Who Wander during which he was kidnapped by Doctor Isaac Taft and made to battle other Fae to survive. He was operated on by Lauren under the orders of Taft in order to help Taft become Fae. However, Lauren tricked him and while he did become Fae, he did not gain Dyson's powers and was killed by Dyson. After being rescued by Tamsin, the pair drove off a cliff when they encountered The Wanderer, Bo's father. Their fate at the end of that episode unknown and uncertain. All evidence is that he will appear again in the fourth season when it airs.
