Biography[]
Given that Tristen was an EMT, it was likely that he was a Medic.
During the mission to prevent Helios-685 from hitting Earth, Tristen drove his ambulance near a gas leak at the Van Huizen Corporation's antimatter facility. Carly Shannon instructed him to park there to block any TV crews from getting a shot of the premises, and afterward to assist in the installation of the incoming x-ray laser at the top of the facility. (S1E06: Helios-685)
The mission was a success, albeit with many casualties. Tristen survived and months later was given a mission to infiltrate the Faction, establishing himself as someone devoted to the cause. Jeff Conniker was also given the same mission, although it was unknown if they were aware of each other's real allegiances.
In any case, one day they assisted in carrying a lead-lined container around a Faction hideout. Dawn summoned them both to reward them with more responsibilities, and Tristen eagerly pledged to do his part. However, Dawn overloaded his comm with a device, exposing him as a loyal Traveler. Jeff proceeded to beat him up, then shot him to prove his loyalty to the Faction. (S3E08: Archive)
Later after Jeff was exposed and captured by the Faction, he is interrogated by Traveler 001, who has joined forces with the Faction. Tristen's dead face is briefly seen through the TV screen 001 uses to relay his questions. (S3E09: David)
