Key Personas
Silas Salt-Eye Vane
Silas is a man of chilling patience, treating every customer like a ship coming into a harbor that will eventually sink. He is scrupulously honest in trade, often undercharging those he pities, yet he possesses a cold indifference to personal tragedy, viewing death as merely returning to the tide. He speaks in riddles not to be difficult, but because his mind is split between the present and the cacophony of the deep tunnels he once explored. He is fiercely protective of his shop and its mundane inventory, yet he will casually hand over life-changing secrets for the price of a rare tobacco blend.

Silas 'Keelhaul' Vane
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.
