Sylvas Lavellan

Sylvas soon after joining the Inquisition

Sylvas Lavellan (born 2 Bloomingtide 9:14 Dragon) was the Inquisitor for the newly formed Inquisition in 9:40 Dragon, after being designated the Herald of Andraste, until it's disbandment in 9:44 Dragon.

Early in his life he was quickly chosen as the successor to his clans Keeper at the age of 6 as he was one of only two mages born to the clan. Despite the initial lack of disdain at his magic, the competition between him and the other mage child cause him to later be treated with both contempt and erroneous flattery. This caused him to begin acting out early on, teasing the other clan members and running off to join the hunters rather than engaging in his training. As such, his skill in magic was slow to improve and Keeper Istimaethoriel was hesitant with the decision to have him lead the clan.

When news of the Conclave at the Temple of Sacred Ashes reached them, the Keeper decided to send Sylvas to both hopefully teach him some responsibility, as well as to learn more of the humans that which they lived in close proximity. Upon arriving, and the subsequent explosion on the Temple, he was sent into the Fade and escaped miraculously with the help of Divine Justinia. The following two years saw a major upheaval in political power as he was named Inquisitor and lead the joined forces of ex-Templars, Mages, and Inquisition soldiers to take down the reborn Magister Corypheus and ending the war between Mages and Templars.

Two years after Corypheus' defeat, in 9:44 Dragon, the governments of Orlais and Ferelden called together an Exalted Council, with Leliana as the new Divine at the center, to decide the fate of the Inquisition. Alongside the possible political unrest, Sylvas and the Inquisition forces fought against Qunari invaders and Elven spies, later learning of their previous companion's, Solas, plot to rip open the Veil. After losing his arm to the Anchor and having had enough of the politics he had been forced into for too long, Sylvas disbanded the Inquisition, instead choosing to focus on finding Solas and putting an end to his plans, whatever that may take.

## Overview

### **Physical Appearance**

Along with the long, pointed ears shared by elves, Sylvas possesses long, choppy black hair that is usually unkempt and brushed to the side. Every so often he will pull it back into an equally loose and messy braid. Pale skin that has faint remnants of being sun-kissed due to his time hunting for his clan, his Mythal vallaslin stands out, made more prominent by the constellation of freckles across his nose and cheeks. His features are faintly marred by a few scars that have gathered over the years. Despite his lithe figure, he has prominent musculature that he's built up in order to compensate for the weaknesses of his magic. Pink eyes tainted only slightly in the center by the green of the mark are hooded by dark eyelashes and thick eyebrows.

### **Personality**

Initially soft-spoken, he is more than willing to stand for what he believes, regardless of other's opinions. Gentle and amiable with his friends and those close to him, some consider him to be a foolish choice for Inquisitor due to his teasing and overly ambitious nature at times, though when the moment calls for it, he shows a remarkable sense of responsibility.

### **Talents and Skills**

Initially ignoring his abilities as a mage, he became quite an accomplished hunter with a bow. Only later into his adolescence did he begin to take his magical talents (somewhat) seriously and became an accomplished mage soon before joining the Inquisition. He also has extensive knowledge of flora and fauna that he learned from traveling with his clan and taking on many tasks, anything that would get him out of magical training.
