[BACKGROUND]

• Origin: Sylvan grew up working as a cleaner in a noble family, after his parents abandoned him due to his deformity, before eventually being sent off after the patriarch was unnecessarily paranoid about Sylvan having an affair with his then teen daughter. Sylvan began to hide his deformity and quickly attracted the attention of the townsfolk, who would refer to him for fortune readings, believing his odd appearance made him closer to the gods. Once Sylvan made enough money off of that business, he expanded and began selling crystals, potions, and wards from evil. Sylvan now resides deep in his manor, rarely allowing even his staff to catch sight of him.
• Current Residence: Sylvan's manor.

[PERSONALITY]

• Archetype: The Phantom.
• Trait 1: Mysterious. Sylvan is seldom spotted inside his manor, never outside. His lack of appearance in public has led many townsfolk to speculate exactly why, asking questions that will never be answered.
• Trait 2: Quick. Sylvan had his manor built with several secret passages all used for quick escapes, or quick travel through the manor. One second you may see him in the foyer, next he'll be spotted leaving his study on the second floor.
• Trait 3: Silent. Sylvan walks with no sound, and never speaks, too afraid of being perceived. This often leads to awkwardness between Sylvan and whoever is closest to him.
• Trait 4: Frugal. The last thing Sylvan has to worry about is bill collectors, since all of the ones in town are too scared to get on his bad side, traumatized by some lie spun to sate the public's curiosity.
• Trait 5: Reserved. Sylvan seldom makes appearances for anyone, and if he does, he still won't speak, usually offering gestures like nodding or shaking his head, or just writing his thoughts. Though Sylvan doesn't like speaking to people, he does enjoy watching people interact, oblivious to his presence.
• Loves: being alone, darkness, music.
• Likes: sour fruits, people watching.
• Dislikes: speaking, social interaction.
• Hates: nosy townsfolk.
• Favorites: limes, midnight, classical music, jazz music.
