Alan Sylvasta

Alan Sylvasta (アラン・シルヴァスタ, Aran Shiruvuasuta) is one of the main characters and the main antagonist of BNA: Brand New Animal. He is the CEO of Sylvasta Pharmaceuticals.

Appearance
Alan has a fair complexion, blond hair, and teal eyes. He wears a dark teal suit, yellow waistcoat, a white collared shirt, and navy shoes.

In his beastman form, he takes the form of a golden, three-headed wolf.

Personality
Alan is a calm, poised, and commanding figure. When Yaba saw that Alan was calling him, he immediately tensed up and was fearful through the entire conversation. Alan's words also carry a lot of weight among his staff.

He also has a relaxed and playful side too. After the Medical Center bomb incident, he excitedly announces the closure of a research facility and his plans to visit Anima City.

He even has a certain pride as a pure breed beastman, looking down on those of the hybrid blood lines.

Background
He's the descendant of Reymond Sylvasta, a general who about a thousand years ago lead an army that killed all the beastmen in an Eastern European beastmen-only city called Nirvasyl.

Brand New Animal
Alan tells Chief Yaba to destroy all evidence of the bomb attack and to restore the damaged hospital to the original state, at whatever cost necessary. Alan later closes a research facility and plans to go to Anima City.

During the Anima City Baseball finals, Alan is seen observing Michiru from the stands. He remarks how incredible her powers are.
