Species	Human(?)
Base	Cylosis
Debut	Metroid Prime: Hunters

One of the six new bounty hunters introduced in 'Metroid Prime Hunters', Sylux battled Samus Aran on the Vesper Defense Outpost. Despite being defeated, he repeatedly challenged Samus in different locations in the Alimbic Cluster.

Background

Very little is known about Sylux, save for his human-like stature and originating from a planet called Cylosis. In particular he bearsa grudge against the Galactic Federation and Samus Aran in particular. He has been known to get in skirmishes with Galactic Federation Troopers often. His arsenal of weapons as well as his shipare all stolen Federation Prototypes, some so dangerous that they were banned.

Like the other bounty hunters, he travelled to the Alimbic Cluster to get the secret power himself to add to his arsenal of deadly weapons. His many attempts were constantly thwarted by his hated foe, Samus. Although unable to gain the artifacts himself, he travelled to the Oubliette after it had been unlocked. Despite joining with the other bounty hunters, he was overwhelmed by Gorea and his weapon was absorbed. While Samus Aran dealt with the monster, he was able to escape on his ship.

Sylux is able to transform into the Lockjaw, during which he is able to release electricity. Sylux prefers the Shock Coil, an Electric-based weapon that continuously attacks (meaning it does not have a charge function).

Trivia

• Of all the bounty hunters, Sylux seems to have been intended as Samus's 'archrival'. Of all the other bounty hunters, he shows up first in the intro video, has his actual ship appear, and was the only other 'all around fighter' besides Samus. Probably the most likely candidate for a future appearance.
