Name: Silas Whitepaw
Alias: White Shadow, Brother White, Blue-Eyed Bastard
Age: 42
Race: Fae-Gæian
Personality: Silas has never been too hard to figure out; he is generally loud,
obnoxious, and almost always found somewhere causing some sort of
trouble. Beneath all of the flaws however, he is kind and loyal
individual who takes great pride in being the one that ensures that
none of his friends comes to any harm. In his line of work he has
earned a reputation for being neigh uncatchable so he tends to keep
himself as much of an enigma as possible lest his enemies find out
the truth about him.
History: Within the forests surrounding the Plains of Irith resides the
Whitepaw family, servant family of the leaders of the realm the
Cottontails. Born as the eldest of the clan Silas Whitepaw quickly
gained a reputation as the troublesome child quickly showing an
aptitude for causing chaos and disrupting the norm of society.
Although he was troublesome child he quickly began showing signs of
becoming a powerful soldier both on and off the battlefield, so in
lieu of actual punishment Silas' father sent him to train under the
commander of the Cottontail's elite soldier regiment, Brother
Alexander 'Four Blade' Cottontail.
As his training progressed he showed great prowess in dual
swordsmanship although his studies in the warriors art of Saudo was
lacking so instead of giving him a position that he could truly
excel in and gave him the position that no other Whitepaw could have
ever dream of. Silas became leader of the Brotherhood of Shadows,
the spymaster of the entire realm and together with his brother
Irving the pair saved numerous lives with the work that others were
too proud to do. For decades the pair served faithfully and stopped
several wars with the dirty work and for a time there was a point
where Silas was actually happy with life although he had a feeling
that something was going to end it all. Unfortunately Silas was
right.
As the years marched on Silas' spies began hearing rumors about a
conspiracy involving someone within the Cottontail family and the
next in the lineage. Months passed as Silas and Irving did
everything possible to warn the head of the Cottontails and even his
father turned him away believing that his claims were superficial and
held no merit. Seeing that no one would believe them Silas took his
Brotherhood of Shadows and marched upon the perpetrators who looked
to end the young Cottontail life and did what he was taught to do,
Silas himself killed the brother of the king. Once the deed was done
Silas was confronted by Brother Four Blade and the retinue of the
finest soldiers the Cottontails had to offer and after a short
battle the Brotherhood made an escape after suffering major losses.
Now left homeless and cast out of their own family Silas led Irving
across the Plains to an uncertain future. For a time the pair lent
themselves out as sellswords, putting their talents to use as
assassins for hire in the hopes that they might find a new home
somewhere beyond their old forests. Eventually finding the Knights
of Star the two finally found a place could call home. Silas once
again took on the role as spymaster and Irving began making
creations for the other Knights. Only time will tell if they keep
this life.
Reason for Recruitment: Silas had no other choice, after being cast out of his home he
travled to Angel's Landing hoping to find another home.
Strength of Will: Greater
Magic:
Wild Magic
- Into the Fade:One of the few innate traits that Silas
possesses, he is able to temporaraly pass into the etheral world
known as the Fade. While within this place he becomes invisible and
able to fool most forms of detection, although prolonged time spent
within this plane gives its natrual denezins the oppertunity to find
Silas. - Phantasmal Images:Perhaps one Silas' more well known
abilities, channels the the ambiant magic around him to create
phantoms images of himself. While the images are incorporeal and can
do no real harm anyone or anything, they are perfect for Silas to
misdirect and cause confusion among the enemy ranks.
God Relations:
Qtelneick and Xandruis- Known to Silas as Serian and Corinth
respectivly, Silas does his best to stay in both of their favor as
it leads to a more successful time in his line of work.
Tech-All of Silas' tech was built by his younger brother
Irving.
- The Serpent's Fangs- A pair short swords/daggers that have
been mechanically altered to fit Silas' needs. The blades have been
fitted with Irving's own reinvention of high-frequency blades, as
the blades vibrate on a molecular level a built in storage tank
doles out a consistent dosage of a homemade toxins. - Wrist Mounted Silenced Crossbow- Another of Irving's
inventions this miniaturized crossbow has been altered and modified
to the point where it is almost impossible to see the original
thing. As well as firing a number of specialized bolts and standard
bolts, it also has an experimental positronic hard-light generator
that allows Silas to energy bolts of varying degrees. - Mana Grenades- Silas has found an interesting combination
between these and some explosive tips from his crossbow. They make
for a rather nice explosion. - Modified Brotherhood Armor- Modified by Irving to give
maximum protection from all manner of damage.
Possessions:
Saudo's Honor- A katana-styled sword made by Irving upon
completion of his training. Silas treasures this above all else.
