With secrets lurking behind those twinkling eyes, he dances through the halls of power, plotting his escape onto the treacherous waves of kidnapping.Silas is the unassuming aide to the Mayor of Shan, often seen quietly shuffling papers and offering misleading advice. However, what truly sets him apart is his charming, yet disarming smile, which conceals a cunning and opportunistic mind, always on the lookout for the next big score. He remains at the Mayor's side, cleverly manipulating political events to create chaos, as it allows him to kidnap wealthy children of influential families without raising suspicions, all while presenting himself as a dedicated public servant. Silas has a peculiar habit of drumming his fingers rhythmically against any surface when deep in thought, making it easy for those around him to underestimate his intentions as merely harmless fidgeting. Unknown to anyone in the Mayor's office, Silas harbors a dark ambition; he kidnaps the rich and privileged to amass a fortune for a life of piracy on the high seas, dreaming of glory and treasure beyond his wildest imaginings.

During a heated city council meeting, Silas skillfully diverted attention from a scandal by offering a seemingly innocuous suggestion, deepening the Mayor's reliance on him and solidifying their alliance with an unspoken understanding of their mutual benefit.
Lady Eloise Everton: Silas initially met Lady Eloise, wife of Margrave Henry Everton Alfan, while assisting her family with a donation campaign for the city's less fortunate, whereby her genuine naivety captivated him, leading to a false friendship grounded in his need for her influence. Recently, their encounters have taken on a more charged tone, as she unwittingly confided her fears about the safe return of her son, whom Silas secretly targets for his illicit ambitions.
Constable Rowan: The relationship between Silas and Constable Rowan is a dance of cat and mouse; Silas often teeters just close enough to the law to be intriguing, while Rowan's suspicion flares with every instance of Silas’ apps. After a recent brush with the law where Silas deftly evaded an investigation into his actions during a sudden heist, Rowan's warnings turned sharper, now tinged with determination to uncover the truth about Silas' elusive undertakings.
