These are the boys who grow to be men who have songs written about them. Who's lives are valued by everyone they meet, and who's passing is wept for by a thousand different eyes. Syrio Atradies was not one of these boys..... No he was a different kind of boy indeed, he was born with a talent for destruction, and a keen joy in causing it.  As he grew into manhood Syrio never lost his taste for destruction, violence, and chaos. In fact scenes of him tormenting another creature, and even destroying his brothers' possessions. Were rather common place.<br/><br/>As the fourth son of a noble lord Syrio knew from a young age that his inheritance would be small and inconsequential, assuming he got any at all. And so it was no real surprise that he seemed bound and determined to make his own reputation for himself. While his eldest two brother's learned to lead their father's lands, and his 3rd eldest brother became a priest. Syrio chose the path of the knight. He studied with every weapon he could, under every sword, bow, and spear master his father could hire. By the age of 19  he was ready to fight in any battle that his father would need him to.<br/><br/>As the next years past Syrio's life was a blur of battle after battle interspersed with the drudgery of everyday life. Whether he was putting down a peasant revolt, stopping the advance of a rival lord's forces into his father's lands, or simply 'accidentally' taking a tournament fight too far. Syrio always seemed to enjoy himself most when he was in battle. It was as if the man had found his perfect vice.<br/><br/>But as with all things of this nature eventually the rush Syrio felt began to dull, and dim, and all but disappear. Charging into a mob of fleeing men with his fellow knights at his side simply did not bring forth the same joy it had in the man's chest. In short he was beginning to grow bored. It was then that he set his eyes on bigger prey and began to hunt dragons.<br/><br/>Over the past few years he has managed to build up quite a reputation for himself. It is known far and wide that to hire Syrio Atradies is to almost guarantee that the beast you wish to see dead will die. But it is also known that you may not like the way that Syrio chooses to go about it or the price he demands. He has been known to do everything from using sending his employers' best warriors into a dragon's den as nothing more than bait, to burning entire fields and slaughtering herds simply to deprive his target of food and press it into desperate actions.<br/><br/>Personality: Syrio is normally a reserved man, but he is quick to anger and has been known on may an occasion to start a fight rather than talk things out.<br/><br/>Strengths&Weaknesses:<em>Strengths:</em>Syrio is a master with almost every weapon a man can master, he is smart, and has a good mind for tactical and strategic level planning.<em>Weaknesses:</em>But he tends to be easily goaded at the thought of a challenge and can almost always be expected to bite off more than he should probably chew if he thinks it will be 'fun.'  He is also not very skilled in the ways of magic and prefers to simply rely on paying or strong arming others to provide what ever magics he needs.<br/>
