  Syril starts out just wanting to find and capture the person who murdered two security guards, and ends up being partially responsible for a genocide, which he himself dies in.<br>If you think about it from that perspective he has a similar story and character development to Andor, just mirrored into aiding the empire instead of destroying it.

  Andor really reminds me of the real life systems that perpetuate themselves like the empire

  Eedy says that Syril&apos;s father considered himself an &apos;adventurer&apos; who just and left one day, and Kyle Soller said that when Syril was very small his father just &apos;went to work&apos; and never came back. So Syril is a guy who was abandoned by a man who seemingly had no sense of personal responsibility, and then grows up to be a man who&apos;s obsessed with proving how responsible he can be...

  I just realized another way Syril mirrors Cassian: where Cassian has greatness essentially thrust upon him, Syril actively chases grateness to the bitter end.<br><br>Syril persued grateness through every official opportunity, but Cassian made the best of his situation and became great because he was needed.

  Syril story is sad because he is us. We don&apos;t want that to be true but, when we are looking at the bigger story&apos;s. the hero is almost never going be us. We want syril not yo win but part want him becausehe is us. Of course this is for some not all that can be hard to expect.

  The story of Syril Karn is one of Complicity and the Need to prove One&apos;s Worth to the world, or in this case the galaxy, at the cost of ignoring all the warning signs one might otherwise see that the system that person is currently serving has something wrong with it...<br>Realisticly, for every hundred Cassian Jeron Andors there are tens of thousands of Syril Karns out there, that will end up, more often than not, believing up until the very end that They are on the right side of History without ever realizing the truth. Sometimes that long-awaited Epiphany will never come at all, which is the most realistic and terrifyingly accurate outcome...

  Syril is low-key one of my favorite characters. &nbsp;And it&apos;s not because I think he&apos;s a good person, but because I find him so fascinating. &nbsp;He&apos;s so well written and well acted, that I understood why he is the way he is, just from his interactions with Eddy. &nbsp;Syril is a hurt little boy looking for male approval and female admiration, who believes he&apos;s owed something. &nbsp;Don&apos;t get it twisted, Syril has morals and values, but he still has ambitons and when things don&apos;t go the way he wants them too, he lashes out, violently. &nbsp;While I can emphathize with his upbringing, it doesn&apos;t excuse his actions and deserved what he got. &nbsp;He deserved to know in the last moments of his life, his worst nightmare has come true. &nbsp;His life is anonymous and meaningless.

  Apart from any consideration on Syril the character, there&apos;s a side consideration on Syril&apos;s storyline cinematography which is a constant homage to Bertolucci The Conformist. Everything Syril is The Conformist: his narcisism, his mother, above all the house he shares with Dedra, it&apos;s the biggest possible reference to Bertolucci&apos;s movie (all in black and white). Him being used as an instrument by the party to do evil in a foreign land, falls in love with his victims and can&apos;t accept that in which he himself was involved.

  Honestly, his character of mirrors &nbsp;William Hope.<br>William is a Canadian actor, best known for his numerous role portraying Lieutenant Scott Gorman in Aliens.
