Despite his restrained and almost cold mannerisms and speech, Sildar was kind-hearted and sincere, although lacking in confidence and charisma. He was generally risk-averse, although still willing to enter into potentially dangerous situations when no one else dared. He wishes to see the town of Phandalin prosper and to ensure that innocents—even fools—never came to any harm.
Sildar is a town councilor in Phandalin and has been instrumental in securing the town for commerce and trade.
