The Battle of the Labyrinth
Percy comes back to Camp Half-Blood to find Tyson already there cleaning the room for inspection and has mended Percy a shield. Annabeth leads the quest into the Labyrinth, and is very excited since this is her first time leading one, and one of her dreams (along with being an architect). She broke the rule of only two companions on a quest, by choosing Percy, Grover, and Tyson. Annabeth descends into the Labyrinth with Percy, Grover, and Tyson to find a way to stop Kronos's evil forces from entering the borders of Camp Half-Blood by searching for its inventor, Daedalus. The prophecy the Oracle gave her appears to have scared her and she refuses to say the last line. As they go into the Labyrinth, they face many wonders. Annabeth faces a Sphinx and finds the riddles (which are actually factual questions) not challenging and an insult to her intellect. They escape the claws of the Sphinx and continue on to find Hephaestus so he can tell them about where to find Daedalus. Tyson then finds Briares the Hekatonkheire but is disappointed to find out he is afraid of Kampe and refuses to fight. They split up and Tyson follows Grover who goes a different direction in search of Pan. They all reunite and flee the Labyrinth after the help of Daedalus or Quintus.

The fight begins the Camp is in danger and all seems lost until Briares and Daedalus arrive, Mrs O'Leary and Quintus to help fight, once again all seems lost until Grover unleashes the cry of Panic, greatly disrupting — but not ending — the Battle.

The Last Olympian
Tyson meets with Percy when he wakes up in Poseidon's palace after the explosion of the princess Andromeda. He seems to want to fight in the battle, and is sad because he has to work in the armory. Poseidon finally notices this and lets him lead the force of Cyclopes that helped defeat Typhon. He charges with saying an unintelligible phrase, as he has peanut butter in his mouth. It is known that he meant to say, "For Poseidon!" but the rest of his army, because they did not understand him, used the war cry, "PEANUT BUTTER!" After this event, Poseidon comments that he is a good fighter. Rainbow the hippocampus asks for Tyson when she comes to take Percy to camp.

In Olympus, Tyson is promoted to general of the cyclops army, and given a new club.

Appearance
Tyson is very tall, and very broad shouldered, and has very messy brown hair. He was one calf-brown eye, but when he isn't at Camp it is hard to notice, and it looks like he has two. He is known for not brushing his teeth.

Personality
Tyson is a very gentle and sweet Cyclops. He finds Annabeth and Rachel pretty, and when Percy, or Annabeth are in danger he uses his bare strength and fire-proof ability to save them because he loves them very much. He has a natural black-smithing ability, and he loves working on things.
