Biography
Tessler, being one of Clu's generals, was tasked with taking over a section of the Grid. This he successfully did, swiftly conquering Argon City with his army. He ran into complications, however, when the young program Beck fought back after seeing his friend derezzed before his eyes. Beck had destroyed a new statue of Clu and then overturned a Light Rail full of prisoners and freeing them. Tessler decided to handle the renegade himself but, in the ensuing duel, failed to derez Beck and was defeated, being knocked off a building and falling onto a light rail beam where he was eventually rescued by Paige.
Notes
