Sylvar (MLTO)

Sylvar is a semi-main character and an Antagonist in "MLIV:TO".
He is the second-in-command of Akuma's mysterous group and is the one who handles all operations while his master is absent, being busy doing a menial task or a dangerous mission of some sort.
He serves as a major Antagonist in Chapter IV.
== Overview ==
Sylvar is a man of many faces. His reputation is lower than that of many other bandits, which makes him seem more dangerous than he is supposed to be. Whether the fear of this strange man is to be justified or not remains to be seen.
One thing cannot be denied though. When Akuma chose him to be his second-in-command, he chose well. Without a lot of guidance, this treacherous individual was capable of surprising many small settlements and razing them to the ground, serving as a grim testament of the power of his true master- the vile Emperor Redmark. He was also the one who coordinated the attack on Canonia a few weeks ago (with the permission of Redmark, of course) and sent his warriors to fight alongside those of Redmark. The damage done was critical and, even though many people survived the attack, they are still recovering from it. 
If that is not enough proof of the man's power and loyalty, then there is nothing else than can show it.
Sylvar enjoys watching his opponents from afar, easily eliminating them with a wide array of tactics that can make a grown men and women quiver in fear. His most favorite victims are heroes like Geralt and his team, so there is no doubt that he will be there to bother them.
And maybe cause some... additional trouble.
== Battle Expertise ==
Due to the fact that he has spent years mastering the arts of banditry, Sylvar is undisputably powerful. He is capable of fighting well in close range combat, but his true talent lies in surprising his opponents in many different ways, some of them being quite lethal and, in the best case scenario, quite incapacitating.
Even though he is very nimble and good with most kinds of light weapons, Sylvar also has a single weakness- his inability to defend himself well. Since his armor is light and incapable of protecting him well, he can get hurt quite easily if he ever lets his guard down.

=== Killed By ===
* Dillon (Caused)
Just as Sylvar and his group have Geralt and his allies surrounded on all sides, the bandit attempts to kill Geralt himself, almost succeeding at his task. However, just as he mocks our heroes and the world that they are trying to build, he is pierced in the back with a spear and severely wounded.
The one who threw the spear is revealed to be Dillon- the centaur that Geralt and his allies spared a week ago. Apparently, he decided to come back for them and save them from the enemies who are threatening their lives, striking Sylvar at the right moment and the right place.
* Geralt Kaos (Caused)
Cyrus tries to kill Sylvar for being the mastermind behind the Canonia raid that nearly brought the entire town to its knees. He entangles him and attempts to strangle him to death. However, he soon decides that such a punishment is too small for a criminal like him.
After Cyrus's spell loses its effect, Sylvar leaps forward and stands behind Cyrus, pointing his daggers as the shaman's neck and attempting to scare him. When he sees that this is not working, he tries to stab him instead.
Moments before he could do the job, his weapons are knocked away by an angry Geralt. As Sylvar starts to mock him again, he casts a powerful water-elemental spell, freezing the disrespectful villain in place.
* Cyrus Braveheart
Now that Sylvar is unable to strike back anymore, Cyrus uses this opportunity to make the merciless villain pay for his crimes. He approaches him and, without any mercy, strikes him with his staff, shattering his body and sending pieces of him flying everywhere.
Due to the fact that Sylvar tried to teleport before the attack, his entire body reformed itself, shook left and right for a few seconds, and then exploded into hundreds of small, unrecognizable pieces, never to come back again.
== Trivia ==
* Sylvar's name is of Elven origin. It means "silver".
** Due to the fact that he has an elven name (and the strange color of his eyes), it is implied that one of his parents may be an elf.
* Sylvar's role in the Ministory is more important than that of almost every other bandit introduced in Chapter IV, due to the fact that he was the one who made the decision to invade Canonia, set up traps for the unwary townsfolk to distract them, and is the one who lead his warriors into the town after the final defenses have been breached.
* Sylvar's name is rarely said by anyone else, an ally of his or not. Instead, his alias (Mad Dog) is used, likely to protect his true identity.
*Sylvar was killed in a similar fashion as Vexor. Both of them were popular villains in their respective stories and their entire bodies were frozen (crystalized in Vexor's case) and shattered into hundreds of pieces by a Main Character- Adam for Vexor, and Cyrus for Sylvar.
**In addition, both of them were stopped in their tracks by a member of the Kaos family- Adam (Vexor) and Geralt (Sylvar).
