Jackboot Tyson is a recurring character on TNT's Snowpiercer. She is portrayed by Andrea Ware.
Tyson at first supports First Class against Melanie, but still shows sympathy, an example being when letting her get a photo of Alex Cavill from the booth. She eventually joins the resistance, siding against Wilford's regime. After Layton's return, she is addressed as a Brakeman rather than a Jackboot, indicating that her role has changed. She is later killed by Joseph Wilford, along with two Brakemen, with a poisoned cigar offered to her during the celebration in A Beacon for Us All.
