Silas Vane
Artificer (Alchemist)
Silas Vane
Species
Human
Appearance
Silas is a man of jarring contrasts. He stands unusually tall and willow thin, with fingers that seem a joint too long and are perpetually stained with shimmering cobalt ink. He moves with a frantic, bird-like energy, yet his hands are steady enough to dismantle a clockwork soul without a tremor. Most striking are his eyes, which are hidden behind thick, brass-rimmed spectacles with rotating crystalline lenses that click as he focuses. While his workbench is a chaotic sprawl of gears and scrolls, his own appearance is fastidious, though he frequently forgets that he has tucked a smoking pipe or a stray quill into his messy, salt and pepper hair.
“Silas speaks in rapid-fire, run-on sentences when excited, frequently interrupting himself to correct his own grammar or technical terminology..”

Voice
“High-pitched and reedy, with a slight whistling sound on his 's' consonants.”
Clothing
He wears a soot-stained heavy leather blacksmith apron over surprisingly expensive, though frayed, violet silk scholar robes. A belt of many pouches rattles with glass vials and copper components whenever he moves.
Body Language
He often hunches over his work, making himself look smaller, but looms over customers when he is suspicious. He has a habit of adjusting his glasses with his middle finger.
