Silaes was raised in the Amethyst Cartell where the only moral virtue is wealth. As such, Silaes cares little for the lives or well-being of his fellow man, and often finds satisfaction in the profitable suffering of others. However he is not entirely selfish, as he recognizes the value of loyal, like-minded, men and women. The loyalty of which he earns through generous payment for a job well done. 

Silaes is, by choice, a difficult to recognize individual. He bears no distinguishable scars, he wears only the garb most befitting of the people around him, and though he rarely speaks his voice is soft and difficult to discern from those of the peasantry whom the high lords and their spies pay little heed to.

A patient man, Silaes is well aware of his own strengths and short-comings. He is well-known by his clients as the assassin that gets the job done on his own time, as he has a preference for waiting in the shadows for the optimal time to strike. However, as the customer is always right, Silaes will rarely shy away from a rush job... for a price. While he's no longer officially their leader, those who worked in Silaes' network still often quote the motto he coined: "Extra risk comes at extra cost."

[hider=Biography:]
Silaes knows little of his origins. He could have met his mother and father hundreds of times, or none at all and he still would not know the difference. From as early as he could remember he has been in training to be an assassin of the Amethyst Cartell, and the few questions he did ask about his family fell on deaf ears. Silaes learned early on not to question his past, but rather to plan for his future. 

As Silaes began to prove himself as a loyal spy and assassin to the cartell, he became proficient at observing the ever churning cogs of politics and power, as well as making small adjustments to make them churn in his favor. A throat slit here, a small bribe there, and soon Silaes found himself at the head of a loyal network of spies, smugglers, and assassins. He even earned his own magical artifact as a symbol of his status.

Alas, it would not last, as he would be usurped by another as ambitious as he. He should have seen the signs, when his lord requested that he specifically take the job to assassinate the God-King Oromis. But who was he to refuse a such a profitable job? It was only after his departure with his four most trusted assassins that a bird flew to his ship with a message from a spy still loyal to him. A replacement had stepped forward to fill his spot, and was making arrangements to have Silaes ambushed and killed should he return successful from his suicide mission.

Upon receiving the news, Silaes and his loyal men began planning their next move. Eventually they came to the conclusion that in order to regain their stolen wealth and power, their best option would be to join the God-King rather than attempt to fulfill the assassination request. He spent the rest of the voyage sending out as many messages as he had birds to carry them, attempting to regain what he could of his once extensive network. While only a fraction of his network has remained loyal, he still has in his service a number of smugglers, spies and a few assassins that all remain hopeful that Silaes will return to the power he once held, and resume paying them the generous fees he once did.

Magical Artefact(s): Upon reaching a high rank within the Amethyst Cartell, Silaes was granted an artifact as a symbol of his status and import within the Cartel. However, beyond the function of status symbol, the silver goblet he possesses serves only one other purpose: to heat the drink within it to the desired temperature. Silaes often enjoys hot tea on the go in a way few others can, but aside from that his goblet awards him no other advantage.

Motivation: Silaes dreams of accumulating enough wealth to retire to a secluded estate in which he can have as much food, wine, and women as he could possibly desire delivered to him, so that he would never have to leave his land again. A dream he nearly had accomplished before his exile.
