"I've been really struggling with this work, because it isn't like predator control. It isn't mostly harmless animals with the occasional killer. These creatures are almost all killers. But today we finally had one that wasn't, and all we had to do was show it a way home, and we did that. We did it.. I used to coil razor wire back home. We had wolves that would come down out of the forest and try to eat our sleep. My Dad said we had to keep them out, but every month or so I would come out and I would fi- They would get tangled in the wire sometimes. They'd chew their own paws off. That's when I really got it you know, it isn't their fault. They're just being who they are. We're the problem, we're the ones that want everything to be human. Now we've covered the whole damn world in razor wire, so where are the animals supposed to go? But today, you came up with a way to help them, to get them back to a time with no humans in it."

Dylan Weir, a confident, athletic, and adventurous woman, grew up on a Canadian farm with her older sister and parents, her coiling perimeters of razor wire, to keep wolves that came out of the nearby forests from eating the Weirs' sheep. However, occasionally Dylan would find some of the wolves  tangled in the razor wire and be forced to chew their own body parts off. Seeing this in turn led Dylan to believe in later years that Humans are the real problem and that what animals do is not their fault. Later during Dylan's early life, she began fighting forest fires near Fort McMurray, and worked most of her life to join Predator Control. As a Predator Control officer, Dylan was tasked with handling wild animals which would stray into Vancouver, and became close to fellow officer Tony Drake and police detective Harlow.

However, nothing could have prepared her for dealing with dinosaurs loose in downtown Vancouver. Now a predatory expert at Cross Photonics, Dylan is instinct vs. Evan's hyper-intellectualism; she’s the heart to his head. Her fascination with animal behaviour gives her keen insight into her friends and colleagues – often more than they would like and while her and Abby Maitland, her government funded A.R.C. counterpart, usually get along given their determination to help the creatures which come through the anomalies, they have been known to butt heads from time to time as some of their views on how to care for them have differed. 

After her and Evan traveled into the anomaly and their timeline altered, Dylan has now found herself in a radically altered world, the only other one whom remembers the way it was supposed to be, Evan Cross. Still working for Evan in this new world, Dylan must adjust to the new dynamics of her life.
