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[edit]

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.
