[color=white][color=fdc68a][b]►[/b] [b]Rumors[/b][/color]
	Some believe Silas got his station because he was once "normal" and able to fit into society as such, but ingested a maddening amount of the Empath drug and survived being twisted beyond recognition. The rumors suggest that his position at St Eustace's School is one of pity, in which he stays because no one wants to see one of the few "good monsters" fall to obscurity and die in a gutter somewhere.

	Many also whisper that a monstrous man such as him could only have such standing in society because of ties to the Dark Embers. After all, why else would anyone let him around children?

[color=fdc68a][b]►[/b] [b]Secrets[/b][/color]
	When Silas was young and little more than a disfigured street urchin between one form and the next, he happened upon a robbery in a warehouse near where he slept. Three Dark Embers agent broke in to steal food and supplies, and then ran past him. A soldier stopped him and asked where the culprits had went, Silas lied and said they were running to a ship. They were never caught.

[color=fdc68a][b][u]Manbeast:[/u][/b][/color] Silas is far removed from the physiology of the mundane. He resembles the dragons of old folktale, with skin made of jagged scales and tough hide far sturdier than that of the common man. This has made him not only a pariah among society, but brick on legs. Swords that try to bite through the sharp scales are blunted and cracked, bullets from the finest pistols of the day can barely get past Silas' skin. And most notable of all, he is [i]strong.[/i] Silas has enough strength to lift a carriage over his head, pack an anvil around as if it's a paperweight, and more. 

These things make him someone no one wants to get into a scuffle with, but they also make him slow. Those without their own Enlightened abilities need only duck through alleys and around buildings for a fair chance at outrunning Silas. He sticks out like a sore thumb for multiple reasons, making him an easy target for more subtle Enlightened.

One only has to look at Silas to guess what he's faced. As a boy, he was set to become a blacksmith's apprentice in a town in England. By the time he turned 13, he began to show signs of a curious condition, in which his skin appeared bruised and discolored. His mother had originally wrote it off as soot or something accidental, but then it began to [i]spread.[/i] When swinging a hammer to make nails, Silas would watch his skin flake off and leave something glossy underneath it. The blacksmith he worked under told him he needed to see a doctor, but they didn't know anything about it either. He never felt sick, even if his skin simply itched and ached somewhat on occasion.

A month passed, and he started to grow protrusions out of his skin. They were sharp as daggers and tough as rock, and Silas' mother watched him slice firewood in half with is forearm alone. At that point, there was no more question that Silas was an Enlightened with a rather unfortunate ability. The changes kept coming and coming, and he couldn't stop them. Eventually, the skin on his arms became scales, and he began to grow spines out of his head. The people of his town weren't the most worldly, and it wasn't long until they went from thinking the boy had a gift to thinking he had a [i]curse.[/i]

They chased him out with fire and holy verses, and left him to wander the English countryside and the fringes of the urban world until the day he found his way to St. Eustace's School for the Enlightened. They took him in, and life was better for it. In time, his body became more dragon than man, and Silas had all but forgone the notion of fitting in. When his time as a student there was done, he elected to stay and assist in the school's wellbeing. Today, Silas is often one of those that the school sends out when they need someone to speak with prospective students from a distance.
