Does the folder contain the risk of having everything covered in a sheet of white?

Eh, good enough.

In a literal sense, so far, no.

Half the folder is white from the large amount of spoiler textblocks but it is admittedly broken apart by a few sentences here and there.

Then nope. I don't think he's that much of a Walking Spoiler, unless you can provide context on why is actions are incredibly spoileriffic.

Eh, good enough.

The folder is white enough and I think the list has enough of Self-Fulfilling Spoiler to spill out his role, motives and powers despite the context being hidden, so I'd be for marking the folder.

^ Said it better than I could, though of course, I have bias since I started the thread.

Plus some of the unspoiled text seem to warrant spoiler-covering, such as his extreme racism towards Beastman being mentioned but only his reason being spoiler-marked.

Normally that isn't a bad thing and it's common throughout this website in general, though it doesn't take much for a reader to find out exactly what that reason is based on the other tropes being listed. But fixing it would create more white space.

I understand the wiki can't spoiler-proof everything (we can't hide trope names due to wiki policy, which I agree with), though Sylvasta feels like one of those characters where you can't really go that far with his descriptions without relating it back to the big twist.
