Sylvain is, on the surface, your typical shallow playboy, allergic to commitments, would never be accused of taking anyone or anything too seriously, a serial slacker and the picture of a perfectly wasted space of a noble. Which is entirely the point, because then people rarely give him a second glance beyond the surface, and he can't disappoint expectations if no one has any in the first place. In reality, he's a far more complex character, someone who feels entirely trapped by their birthright and duty and has resented the lack of choice in his life since he was old enough to realize he had no say in his own future. So he makes up for it by taking the ideal of "sowing his wild oats" waaaay too far and basing his entire persona around it. But this mask hides a person who is far too clever and observant for his own good, fiercely loyal and protective of those who do actually get close to him. he is inventive and bright, has a knack of understanding complex concepts even when he hasn't dedicated much (or any) of his time and attention to scholarly or tactical pursuits.
He'll be coming out of a canonpoint in the middle of years-long war that divided three neighboring kingdoms and separated friends and allies alike on different sides. Everything's been terrible and he'd actually welcome a break from that and the battle he was facing that would put him on a battlefield opposite of a bunch of people he didn't actually want to fight in the first place. And being removed to somewhere no one would know or care that he was the heir of the Gautier Crest would just be the cherry on top. Apologies for the mischief he will no doubt cause and his scandalous lack of shame when it comes to being the most outrageous person at the party.
