The difference between Canon of Creation and Vengeance in Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance and where to start

You sat there excited to see the new Metroid Prime 4 reveal, then suddenly this odd looking fellow appears out of nowhere, you hear some fans scream excitedly, but you sit there wondering "who?"

That is what we're going to discuss today! This is a brief history on the character known as "Sylux."

Sylux was first introduced in Metroid Prime Hunters as one of the many rival bounty hunters Samus faced during the game's story. Very little is know about their background (we don't even know what species he is!) but one this is very clear, he has a very deep hatred for the Galactic Federation to the point that he has killed federation soldiers, and sabotaged Federation research into Metroids. Of course by association with the federation we can safely presume that Sylux also hates Samus, but since the hunter rarely, if ever, speaks, we can only judge him by his actions.

What is known about Sylux is that he are a skilled Marksman and bounty hunter used to doing espionage, scouting and tracking, and that his signature weapon the "Shock coil" was a experimental federation made weapon that got banned. In fact his power suit was based on a federation prototype. It is a common theme with Sylux that they stole a lot of their weaponry from the federation. 

One could speculate that perhaps there is a deeper reason why Sylux has such a deep hatred for the federation, maybe he was a failed experiment? Disgruntled soldier? What we can assume is that he definitely must have worked under the federation at some point. 

Sylux has made brief cameo appearances outside Hunters such as: 

At the end of Metroid Prime Federation force it shows Sylux breaking into a Federation research station to steal a tube containing a Metroid Egg.

And lastly:

At the end of Metroid Prime 3 corruption 100% secret ending reward he starts to fly after Samus in his ship.

He is a very exciting character to see return in Prime 4 and an interesting concept in my humblest of opinion. Us Metroid fans have briefly, in games such as Metroid Fusion, got to know that inside the Galactic Federation there are different groups that are perhaps not as peace driven as the ones that Samus tends to work with. Perhaps Sylux was apart of those groups and got betrayed and ended up blaming the whole federation for not being able to control these groups?

It is gonna be exciting to see what Prime 4 offers us with this character in 2025!
