Sylvestre McSween is a second-generation vampire, spawned by Salomon Archibald Thrausvult. Along with Vanessa Leroux, who he has some rivalry with, he is one of the Lieutenant of their undead father's mafia.

Sylvestre was born in St-Élie, and is the son of a butcher. He grew up wanting to continue his father's business, and would train as an adventurer sometimes, feeling the call, but never quite acting on it. He did get some reputation for hunting down some monsters to help the village. As he inherited his father's shop, an accident happened with a bull he was supposed to put to death. His chest was crushed by the beast's kicks, ensuring a slow and painful death. Salomon showed up out of nowhere, offering both another chance at life and adventures beyond his current reach.

Sylvestre is very loyal to Salomon. With his endless life, he has taken to organizing bands of criminals for bigger prey, which he then adds to the family's treasure. He still has memories of his life as small folk, so usually he'll make sure the targets of those raids are monarchy or bourgeoisie. He might also make sure that his point of contact within the gangs he employs is the worst scum of them: killing him to keep the family's involvement secret then feels more justified, like he's "protecting" the people from the lowliest of criminals.

Killing is the thing Sylvestre is best at. With is unnatural strength and his knowledge of innards, he is a menace. His duties in the family include that of enforcer: when someone needs to be taken out, it's Sylvestre's job to get it done. He doesn't usually spawn thralls with his victims, in his mind, it would be honoring them, and most of the people he kills don't deserve this respect.

Sylvestre has two daughters, Emmanuelle and Émilia. They're both dhampirs, demi-vampires; they were conceived 20 years appart, in nights of Hunger where he found a maiden who reawakened the memory of the woman he loved in life. The eldest was raised by her mother's family, and fled the country when Sylvestre showed up and revealed her nature. Sylvestre raised the youngest himself, and she showed interest in their illegal but lucrative way of life. Salomon's interested in her potential, and Vanessa sees her as a threat that might take her place. Sylvestre will protect her at all costs, but would prefer if she proved that she doesn't need protection.
