Sarlyn

Counselor Sarlyn

Like most Utopians, Sarlyn grew up vaguely aware of the outside world, but also knowing its inhabitants were dangerous and primitive. As a young adult, he encountered some of the first outsiders on Utopia, and learned of a war that was spreading to engulf the world. When the Utopians decided to send an envoy to investigate, they held a series of tests. Sarlyn competed and was chosen.
He made his debut by helping save American lives in Pearl Harbor, immediately after the Japanese attack and the name “Envoy” stuck once he explained who he was.
The War Department (and the Axis, for that matter) was frustrated by Envoy’s consistent refusal to reveal anything more about his people or where he came from, but he earned the respect and trust of America and the Allies by his willingness to risk his own life to protect freedom and democracy. In turn, Sarlyn came to care for the people of the outside world.
The disbanding of The Liberty League was the end of the Envoy’s embassy in the outside world. His reports led the Utopians to decide to maintain their policy of secrecy, as the rest of humanity was still not sufficiently advanced. Sarlyn has become a respected leader of the community, and still champions humanity’s cause among them. He argues against leaving Earth behind and is in favor of renewing contact by sending a new envoy to the outside world.
