Barylstyx

Barylstyx Makotosotred is an archer you encounter during Ak-Haranu's Students. His first appreance is outside of the forests east of Mikyo and helps you hunt the Lion Mion assigned you. After that part, and from this point on, he is located outside, later inside of the guild. He is later a Slayer Master, requiring level 120 (which means, you must train your slayer up to that point) and will help you get to 200m Slayer XP by giving you bonus the regular Slayer XP you'd usually get.

History
One of the major elites of the Tokaji Samurai Army, Bayrlstyx is a loyal samurai who has sworn major fate into Mion and her guild. He is also, a skilled Warrior in both Hunting and Ranging, though he prefers using his sword.

In 174, Bayrlstyx was one of the patrollers that found the 5 unconscious children on the floor in the rain. He ordered his squad to take them to the small village of Mikyo to recover. He then later, had a responsibility to watch over Mion, who to him, looks like the noble of this "family". When Mion woke up, he asked if her family was okay, but she replied "Those are my friends, not family, though they are family deep down.". Baryl then offered his services to be her mercenary.

The test of the Eastern Ways
The following takes place during Ak-Haranu's Students.

During Ak-Haranu's Students, Bayrlstyx was trying to hunt the Lion, but then an adventurer came, and he was doing the same thing. Together with teamwork and cooperation, they defeated the Lion, and he moved on.

Aftermath

During Final Destination, Barylstyx is seen in full Samurai mixed with Stygium. He has two Swords with his bow on his back. Unfortunately, he had died from Lucien's second Massacre against the otherworldly humans lead by Mion. He is buried in Falador Cemetery and a statue of him is found at both Falador Squares.
