====== Personality =====

As with many celebrity figures, Sylvian has a public-facing persona as well as her own private self.

She is grateful for how she ended up where she is and has not forgotten her past.

----
====== Career ======

Sylvian is the retired Champion of the [[colosseum_of_ashes|Colosseum of Ashes]], as you come to find in the Champion's Quarters; her weapon of choice was the [[slyvian_s_claw|Claw]];

>//The concealed poster depicts a gladiator wearing a metal [[slyvian_s_claw|claw]] for a hand, and you recognize the fighter as the Grandmaster of Games. A Troll towers over her in the picture, but there is a bright red slash cut across his chest from her attack. The headline reads: “[[sylvian|Sylvian]], The Claw: Undefeated Champion of the Colosseum of Ashes.”// - Deathmatch at the Colosseum of Ashes (RPA-SQ1)

When you remind her of who she was, she will think back fondly and leave you with a mission;

>//“That was a long time ago. I have no interest in returning to the arena, but that doesn’t mean that the claw can’t live again.//

>//"Here, bring this to my brother, Alizar."// - Deathmatch at the Colosseum of Ashes (RPA-SQ1)

Sylvian herself has also gone toe-to-toe with the [[immortal_knight|Immortal Knight]] on the ash;

>//An image of the [[immortal_knight|Immortal Knight]] is projected into the Grandmaster’s private viewing area. To your surprise, he immediately charges toward the Grandmaster and swings his sword. She dodges artfully but casts a sharp look in your direction.//

>//“My idiot engineers were supposed to have that fixed,” she explains. “I fought against someone calling themself the ‘[[immortal_knight|Immortal Knight]]’ in the arena. We were not friends. I suppose that’s putting it mildly. Some of that animosity must have made its way into the collar’s programming.”// - Deathmatch at the Colosseum of Ashes (RPA-SQ1)

----
===== Family =====

Upon meeting [[alizar|Alizar]], he reveals that he and his sister, the Grandmaster of Games herself, have a tenuous relationship;

>//"My sister and I have a complicated relationship."// - [[alizar|Alizar]], Tome of Encounters (RPA-SQ1)

Though she appears uncaring, her private notes on him as a gladiator tell otherwise;

>//Brother to Sylvian, former Champion of the [[colosseum_of_ashes|Colosseum of Ashes]] and current Grandmaster of Games. Protected status: under no circumstances is [[alizar|Alizar]] allowed to be killed in combat. Every precaution should also be taken to protect him from the other gladiators while outside the arena. Though less skilled than his sister, he shows promise as a gladiator and is likely to earn his own freedom fairly through combat. Should the need arise, however, assistance shall be provided.// - Deathmatch at the Colosseum of Ashes (RPA-SQ1)
