Silas has skin the texture of wet, sun-dried grey leather that feels uncomfortably cold to the touch. His posture is slumped and heavy, moving with a lumbering, side-to-side gait as if his own bones are thickening. His eyes are bulbous, milky blue, and rarely blink, giving the impression he is staring through you rather than at you. Unexpectedly, he maintains a meticulously groomed, salt-and-pepper mustache that stands in stark contrast to his increasingly monstrous features.

Silas is a man of rigid, suffocating discipline who enforces the city code with sadistic precision, yet he is internally collapsing under the weight of eldritch whispers. He is intensely loyal to the 'family' beneath the Coral Crown tavern, viewing the citizens he once protected as mere cattle. He acts with overbearing authority toward subordinates but becomes unnervingly silent and submissive when he hears the sound of crashing waves or distant chanting.

Once a celebrated hero of the City Watch, Silas led a raid on a smuggler's cove near the Coral Crown five years ago. He was the only survivor of a 'freak tidal wave' that claimed his squad. In reality, he was dragged into the depths and returned different. Since then, he has used his rank to keep the 'wrong people' away from the tavern's cellar, ensuring the Deep One cult's activities remain undisturbed. His human life is a mask that is rapidly slipping.
