===Background===
Sylvain is an illegitimate child to an Elven Merchant family who used to trade in Venza. His mother had an affair with a human and his father tolerated him in order to avoid a scandal, but kept him behind the curtains. His legitimate brother was going to go into „the business“, whereas Sylvain was employed by his father to be in the inn next to the warehouse to learn the tales of tall adventure and wine and singing in the taverns and bring back gossip and stealthily gotten information. Soon he was well versed in both and earned his living telling tales and singing to the crowd in the inn as well as uncovering little and bigger secrets. But of course his father did not really think him part of the family and when his business moved away, Sylvain stayed behind. He was, of course not surprised but it still hurt. He added trickery to the range of his pursuits and is currently looking for a promising opportunity while performing in his favorite pub. He is not feeling terribly angry with his family, but has no sympathy either.
During the adventures at roughy river and in following the lotus flower, Sylvain has started to recognize his effect on people, how appear to think him to be a bit odd, but still respect him and he enjoys that. The doll Dolly, that came to live in the cave of the lotus he still carries around in the hope of at some stage finding her spirit again.
