## Drawbacks/weaknesses

* Sylas often doesn’t think through the consequences of something or just doesn’t care about them, and might get in trouble.
* His body is “weak”, and can’t stand prolonged amounts of physical stress, and this condition of his has started to recently get worse, and worse.
* He always tries to be what people want him to be, and as such can be rather easily manipulated by someone into doing his bidding.

## Early Life

* Sylas was born into a rich, influential family of merchants who owned a large portion of lands in their kingdom. He never got along with his family, disagreeing with their ways of always prioritising their own comfort at the cost of everyone else. One time, someone attempted to assassinate his father by poisoning him, but due to an error on the assassins side, Sylas’ drink was poisoned instead. When the culprit was found, and proper antidote administered, the poison already ran its course through Sylas’ body. Making him extremely weak and frail. Even though he eventually almost fully recovered, he still has problems with his endurance and is easily sick.

## Recent life events

* When Sylas became 18, he decided to join a military academy with specialisation in logistics. His stay at the school was uneventful, as he often spent his free time visiting doctors, leaving him with very little time to socialise. After Sylas graduated, he joined a mercenary company and dealt with human resources and logistics. After a few years, the company got into debt, and eventually turned to crime as their main source of income. Sylas’ was able to tolerate it at the start, as it was mostly looting dead enemies, abandoned buildings or ransom. But when they started targeting innocent civilians, he decided to rat them out to the authorities, but he was captured before he was able to. His employers decided to just kill him off, but thanks to the incompetence of the soldiers, Sylas was able to sneak off and ran to Oracle.

## Present life

* Currently, Sylas is taking a break on the request of the king of Lincae, and travelling around Oracle learning about the people living in it.
