Alan Sylvasta

Alan Sylvasta (アラン・シルヴァスタ) 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 giant beastman form, he takes the form of a golden, three-headed wolf when he was powered-up. As a normal beastman wolf, he appears to have light yellow-and-white fur and a humanoid face.

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 purebred beastman, looking down on those of the hybrid bloodlines. Beneath his dashing exterior is a diabolical and manipulative heart that sought to control humans and beastmen at his own liking by pitching discrimination in both species.

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.

Barbara Rose
He appears to be quite convincing to Barbara, being able to fool her into temporarily dismantle the city so that he would be able to carry out his plan.

Shirou Ogami
Alan and Shirou share a mutual rivalry with each other, although Alan shows his disdain towards Shirou more passive-aggressively and insults the latter as a "hybrid".

Trivia

 * Alan's VA (Kaito Ishikawa) is a famous actor that known to voice Nero from Devil May Cry, Genos from One-Punch Man, Kiawe/Kaki from Pokémon Sun and Moon, Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia, and Tobio Kageyama from Haikyuu!
 * Since Kaito Ishikawa is also a singer, this makes Alan the third character that can sing in real life (the first being Michiru, second being Shirou, fourth being Nazuna, and fifth being Pinga).
 * Alan and Shirou share common traits:
 * Both are wolf beastman.
 * Both of their voice actors worked together in another anime - My Hero Academia.
 * Both are immortal with quick regenerative abilities and giant beast forms.
 * Some can say that they are counterparts to each other. However, what differs Alan from Shirou is his desire is to harm beastmen rather than helping them.
 * Alan's three-headed wolf beastman form is most likely inspired by Cerberus, the three-headed dog of Hades in Greek Mythology.

Etymology

 * Sylvasta may come from the Latin words silva (forest) and astra (stars). It may also be derived from the words "silver" and "star".
