Flynn Scifo (フレン・シーフォ Furen Shiifo?) is a major character in Tales of Vesperia. Somewhat of an anti-hero toward the beginning of the story, he greatly develops into one of the protagonists, frequently assisting the party in their endeavors. Flynn is Yuri Lowell's rival and best friend. He is a part of the Imperial Knights and, unlike Yuri, wishes to change the Empire from the inside. In the Xbox 360 version of the game, Flynn is a guest character participating in a single fight, but he is promoted to fully playable in the PlayStation 3 port.
