Sycras Diutte

**Sycras Diutte** is a non-player character in Triangle Strategy.

## Profile/Story

### Background

Sycras had a wife and two children during his time as a constable. Sycras' honest and orderly conduct has earned Gustadolph's respect.

### Aesfrosti Constable

Sycras is first optionally seen in Chapter III, Part II: A Land of Snow and Ice when Serenoa Wolffort and his group visit Aesfrost. Sycras works with a former salt smuggler by the name of Rudolph Mueller to expose an illegal salt smuggling ring in Aesfrost, earn Rudolph a lighter sentence, and trace the mysterious buyer of Aesfrost's illicit salt.

* If the War Council votes to go along with Sorsley's salt trade
	+ If the War Council votes to reveal Roland's identity

Sycras traces the illegal salt shipments to Twinsgate, which Svarog Aesfrost is the head of. Although Sycras attempts to arrest Svarog at Twinsgate, House Wolffort defeats Sycras before he is able to find any incriminating evidence of Svarog's crimes. Sycras cuts his losses and returns to Aesfrost with his head held low, only being able to report a theory of Svarog's treachery rather than a solid argument.

* If the War Council votes to flood the capital

Sycras is assigned to protect the House Telliore demesne, and ensure no disorderly conduct occurs. House Wolffort attacks the Telliore demesne under the cover of night, and incapacitate Sycras while they blow up the Telliore damn with Aelfric. This causes the Kingdom of Glenbrook to flood, and many of the Aesfrosti forces to be washed away.

## Endings

### Frederica

Sycras is not mentioned during the Frederica ending.

### Roland

Sycras is assigned to defend Twinsgate from the Holy State of Hyzante, whom had united with the Kingdom of Glenbrook and House Wolffort. He says goodbye to his wife and children one more time, before heading to Twinsgate and dying valiantly in the ensuing battle.

### Benedict

Sycras is not mentioned during the Benedict ending although it can be assumed he continues to serve Aestfrost as constable.

### Golden

Sycras arrests Svarog Aesfrost under Gustadolph's orders due to his illicit salt trades with Sorley Ende and prepares himself under Gustadolph orders to face Roland's regiment, but listens to the negotiations between Roland and Gustadolph. After negotiations failed due to Gustadolph stubborness , Svarog appears to disclaim all of his nephew arguments, revealing to the Aesfrosti soldiers that Gustadolph was responsible for killing his son Dragan Aesfrost after discovering the salt crystals, and intentionally framed Glenbrook for his murder and using his own family to sate his blind ambitions and thirst for power. Some Aesfrosti soldiers start to speak their minds of how the archduke didn't care about the demise of Thalas and Erika and being ashamed for being part of the bloodshed of many innocents of Gleenbrook, laying down their weapons in the process. With the truth out Sycras' faith in Gustadolph is shattered, and he questions Gustadolph's orders straight to the Archduke's face. In response, Gustadolph slashes Sycras and pushes him off Twinsgates' gates. Gustadolph states he has no need for dissenters, and Sycras is incapacitated by his fall, despite his injuries Sycras manages to survive, but he is unable to participate in the war against Hyzante.

In the end, Roland Glenbrook remains king of Glenbrook, Svarog Aesfrost becomes archduke of Aesfrost, and Lyla Viscraft serves as the head of Hyzante. A now fully healed Sycras and his family are seen among the participants of Serenoa Wolffort and Frederica Aesfrost's wedding.

## Mid-Battle Conversations

### Chapter III, Part II: A Land of Snow and Ice

#### Half of the smugglers defeated

* **Rudolph**: That's half of 'em. Ye'll keep yer word about my pardon, won't ye?
* **Sycras**: We'll talk when this is finished!

### Chapter X, Part II: A Treacherous Soul

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Sycras**: I did not think you would be party to Svarog's schemes.
* **Serenoa**: I doubt you would believe me even if I said this was a mere misunderstanding.
* **Sycras**: If you wish to explain yourselves, lay down your arms. Doing anything otherwise makes you an accomplice.

#### vs. Rudolph

* **Rudolph**: We meet again, Sycras. Though I can't say I'm happy 'bout it.
* **Sycras**: Agreed. I had hoped you would become an honest man, Rudolph.
* **Rudolph**: We got our reasons. Not that I'd expect a straight-laced man like you to understand 'em.

### Chapter XIII, Part II: Waves of Change

#### vs. Milo

* **Milo**: You seem like an honest man. I will thoroughly enjoy laying you down... Hahaha.
* **Sycras**: You shameless woman! I will expose whatever you're plotting!

#### vs. Serenoa

### Chapter XVIII: Begone, Shadow of Sadness

#### vs. Roland

* **Sycras**: Minister Roland, allowing Hyzante their monopoly over salt gives them dominion of all Norzelia.
* **Roland**: Its' not a monopoly. They will oversee its fair distribution and spare those that war would otherwise take.
* **Sycras**: Do you honestly think the zealots who treat the Roselle so inhumanely capable of "fairness"?
* **Roland**: It is House Wolffort and I who will be responsible for that. If you cannot comprehend that, let our swords do the talking!

#### vs. Rudolph

* **Rudolph**: Ser Sycras, put yer sword away. I don't wanna hurt ye.
* **Rudolph**: I'd hate to rob those poor kids of their father.
* **Sycras**: I am a soldier of the duchy. There are more families than mine depending on me!

#### vs. Piccoletta

* **Sycras**: Is it the will of the Goddess for children like you to see battle?
* **Piccoletta**: We decided this together! I want to end this war, so that everyone can smile again!
* **Sycras**: ...I see. You are not the only one who wishes so, child...
