Young male elf (appears early twenties by human standards)
Silas is an Aeonian elf. He began his life as a poor commoner before he was eventually taken in when he was young by a noble elf who essentially raised him. After the fall of the Aeonian Dominion, he joined what was left of his people in trying to form a new settlement in the deserts of Illyria. The settlement thrived for awhile. However, this effort soon fell apart due to internal discord and a civil war in which Silas lost contact with his mentor, who is presumed dead. Silas then wandered as a performer, recounting tales of the past, and practicing blade skills with the double-bladed scimitar he inherited from his mentor. Not only chasing glory and fame, Silas also sought to win a new home to settle and reunite what's left of his people. With these things in mind, he soon appeared in Zanidonia trying to make a name for himself. Teaming up with Null, Berrik and Arakorlum (RIP) to adventure in the service of Lady Latharial of Uud, he felt he was on the right path to succeed.

Silas's oath, as recited after the battle of Alya. After the events of High Rock and the trials experienced with the Ashen Company, Silas recited this solemn vow, along with his paladin oaths, affirming his resolve for the future and his faith in Aeon.
"I, Silas Fei’Aeolus, swear by Aeon the Great God of the Sun that I will keep this oath: May my heart know only virtue, my blade defend the helpless, my might uphold the weak, and my wrath undo the wicked. I will be brave and upright. A noble and proud warrior like my Master before me. If I show my foes mercy, may it be tempered with wisdom. I will never fear to act in the face of my enemies, nor shall I waiver when my blade meets their backs. Darkness has descended upon this land...may I be a beacon of light against those who oppose what is right and good; a beacon of hope for the innocent. I will protect this land, and the heart of my people- a mighty storm bringing swift justice to my enemies. If I should die before freeing my friends from fear, before winning a future for my people, before severing the twisted bonds of corruption that strangle this world - I will bask in the warmth of Aeon's light knowing I gave my all to the bitter end. May it be a good death. This I swear."
