Once the mortal Sylvie Brynyardsdottir, Sylvie was granted immortality to serve Talos as a Valkyrie, escorting the souls of the faithful fallen to the realm of the High Tower. This puts Sylvie in direct opposition to Acererak's schemes, as the Death Curse makes fulfilling her charge impossible. She is also concerned with the fate of her brother, who is struggling with his own identity crises.
 
Sylvie is also the symbolic leader of the Order of the Warspear. She is able to grant her followers spells through the blessing of Talos.
