Syrus is the son of Sy and Olivia Spotwick. He was born on June 9th, 2 years after his parents were married. He has his mother's appearance but his eyes are green.

As a child, Syrus was a wild child who enjoyed playing tricks on his friends but always enjoyed his brother's company. However, he did truly care about his friends and did what he could to make them laugh if they were sad. Syrus found school boring and often skipped classes, forcing his parents to home school him. Syrus enjoyed being at the library and learning.

As a teen, Syrus assisted his parents and siblings on alcohol runs, usually teaming up with his brother on rum runs. he took his education a little more seriously but still enjoyed being a jokester.

As a young adult, Syrus became a great singer and a strong rumrunner for Lackadaisy.

Syrus is very easygoing and takes any order without question, even if he disagrees with it. He does not like to make ripples and adheres to any authority, competent or otherwise. He works well in groups and can even work in synchronism with teams that he is less familiar with, like the Marigold gang. Brave, dutiful, and determined, Syrus can face down a variety of dangers.
