Answer:

Not sure if you meant Benvolio, who is related to Romeo. Tybalt has a temper, is impulsive, prone to fight, and can be violent.

Now, compare that to Benvolio - he is a good guy who tries to always to the right thing. He wants to keep the peace, when Tybalt would cut your head off in an instant. He actually enjoys the feud between the families.
