Always a fan of grand stages, Sylvando participates in the Octagonia Masked Martial Arts Tournament for the Rainbough that the merchant bought from the Sultan, where he squares off with the Luminary and his partner Vince Vanquish in a quarterfinal bout. Sterling Sylva and Golden Boy are no match, and the Bullion Boys are eliminated. The In-Vince-ibles survive two more rounds to win the grand prize, but the second-place finishers, old man Rab and his companion Jade, take off with it.

Sylvando later takes it upon himself to investigate the events at Phnom Nonh when led by a girl into the Ruins of Nhou Wat, as he cannot bear her in tears. This leads the party to a great mural, which seems to fill with life by the day. Sylvando and the others soon discover themselves pulled into the mural, where Dora-in-Grey has laid a trap to steal souls. She is quickly dispatched, though not before she tells them an ominous warning.

As the Luminary and friends attempt to leave the city, Sylvando surprises them, drawing mixed emotions from the group. He does not understand their full purpose, but wishes to join the quest anyway so that he can make people happy. With a flip and a flourish, he joins.

Sylvando takes the party to Gondolia to pick up his ship, the Salty Stallion, managed by an old friend of his. After the Luminary and his allies pick up some birdsong nectar for the Doge's son, Jasper and the Knights of Heliodor attempt to capture the Luminary, but they nearly escape. However Erik is hit by a dark blast in trying to protect the Luminary. After freeing Erik and defeating Jasper, Sylvando flees and comes back with his ship getting the Luminary and his allies to safety. Sylvando thanks his friend Dave for coming to the rescue, but a Tentacular is sent by Jasper to stop the ship In the nick of time, the Doge orders merchant ships to provide cover for the party's escape, a gift in thanks for restoring his son to full health.

The next day, the Luminary meets with Faris once more, and performs the switch. Donning the Prince's equestrian garb, the Luminary takes his place in the race and competes. When he finishes, Faris switches places again. This time, he goes out on his horse, much to his fear and loathing, and basks in the celebration from the crowd. Soon after, Faris agrees to meet with the Sultan for the Rainbough, as was promised the day before. Before the prince can make his request, the kingdom is suddenly attacked by a beast known as the Slayer of the Sands. Thus the Sultan sends his son on an expedition to slay it.

Having watched the saga from afar, Sylvando has observed Faris's cowardice. As the prince sends our heroes on his mission, Sylvando offers to tag along. The party, now five strong, passes two checkpoints on the way to the beast‘s haunt on the north side of the desert. Faris is already there, but once again, his nerves get the better of him. Camping the night, they begin their search.

The Slayer of the Sands catches everyone by surprise. The Luminary’s party must confront the crustacean to subdue it and save Faris. They succeed, and Sylvando binds it with a chain. Faris carts the beast back to Gallopolis, believing it dead.

As the prince celebrates his apparent victory, the sand crab suddenly awakens from its slumber. Faris, scared out of his mind, tries to fight it, and fails miserably. Just then, Sylvando returns and finishes it off - but not before instilling a modicum of courage into the prince. Faris is left to confront the ignoble truth of his failure. The Sultan, meanwhile, has already sold the branch kept in his possession to a traveling merchant.

Shortly after the fall of Zwaardsrust, Norberto was born to Don Rodrigo, a master swordsman from Puerto Valor. Not long after his birth, his mother Gerbera, a famed entertainer from Zwaardsrust, died, leaving his father to raise him alone.

Norberto spent his formative years under the tutelage of his father, being educated in the ways of the knight. He soon found discomfort with the rigours of training in that it lacked meaning and purpose. He had a fallout with the Don after a circus came to town; Norberto loved what he saw, and from there he found his calling and set out on a mission to make the world smile.

Now a roving circus showman, the man known as Sylvando has earned his living entertaining countless spectators. He is first seen under the big top performing the lead act in Gallopolis's circus, just before the annual Sand National horse race.

Crown Prince Faris, the Sultan's sole son and heir, is slated to debut and compete in the race. He meets with the Luminary's party, hatching a plot to replace himself with a doppelgänger who can ride a horse; Faris is extremely cowardly and hippophobic. Members of the party have their suspicions, but the Luminary gives in to Faris's request.

Sylvando (shortened to Sylv, born Norberto) is a character from Dragon Quest XI. A flamboyant travelling performer, he puts his talents to use in combat with a variety of different techniques and is capable of equipping whips, knives, and one-handed swords. Upon learning of the world's imminent danger, Sylvando joined the Luminary and his friends in their quest against the forces of evil.

Sylvando is physically fit with slender yet muscular tones. He has black, shoulder length hair which is slicked back, thin eyebrows, grey eyes, and small silver studs on both ears. 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. Sylvando also carries a long flute.

Flashy, flamboyant, and at times condescending, Sylvando's dream is to build a theatre 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 "darlings". Despite his outward appearance as a performer, Sylvando appears to know quite a bit about knighthood and chivalry. His past is shrouded in mystery and when asked, Sylvando tends to avoid the subject. Despite his humorous nonchalance, he is a man of word and is committed to helping his friends.

As he is from Puerto Valor, Sylvando speaks with a Spanish accent; unlike other Valorians, his speech is generously seasoned with Californian tropes.
