Sylvando (シルビア, Shirubia) is a character from Dragon Quest XI. He is a traveling performer, known by the moniker "the Great Sylvando", who puts his flamboyant talents to use in combat with a variety of colorful techniques, and is capable of equipping whips, knives, and one-handed swords, the latter two he can dual-wield.

Appearance and Personality

Sylvando has black, shoulder length hair which is slicked back, long sideburns, thin eyebrows, grey eyes, and small silver studs on both ears. He has a lean, muscular build and is quite tall. Sylvando wears a black and white striped jester's tunic over a red, long-sleeved shirt along with tan tights, purple shoes, and a leather belt worn around the waist. He also carries a dulzaina, a Spanish reed instrument similar to an oboe, which he utilizes in his performances. It is his prized possession and the first thing he purchased when he first became a traveling performer.

Sylvando's dream is to build a theater of his own and make people all around the world smile. He is described as the mood maker of the party and refers to the Luminary and others as "darling". Despite his outward appearance as a performer, Sylvando appears to know quite a bit about knighthood and chivalry, as well as having a strong sense of justice. His past is shrouded in mystery and when asked, Sylvando tends to avoid the subject.

Sylvando was born as Norberto (Goliath, ゴリアテ in the Japanese version), the son of Don Rodrigo, a master swordsman and the lord of Puerto Valor. His mother died not long after he was born, leaving him to be raised alone by Rodrigo. Sylvando spent his youth under the tutelage of his father, learning about knighthood and chivalry from him and possessing a natural talent for swordsmanship. One of his fellow pupils was Hendrik. The serious young man lacked the innate skill with a sword that Sylvando had, but Hendrik was able to best Norberto in a training exercise through his strength and diligence. Many years later, Hendrik was overcome with shock upon discovering that Norberto and Sylvando were one and the same, expecting that his childhood friend would become a knight one day like him.

After a chance encounter with a traveling circus, Norberto decided that his true passion in life was to become a performer himself and make people all around the world happy, declaring that he would become a "knight in smiling armour". This led to a falling out with Don Rodrigo when he broke the news. Undaunted, Norberto then knew that he had to set out on his own and prove himself before he could return to Puerto Valor and face his father.
