Description
Blacksoul Silas is a gaunt, pale elf with an unsettling aura that seems to leech the warmth from the air. His hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, glowing faintly with crimson light, give him a skeletal, half-dead appearance. Silas wears long robes of black and deep crimson, embroidered with writhing symbols that seem to shift when viewed too long. His silver-white hair is slicked back from sharp, angular features, and a jagged scar cuts from his left eye to his jawline. In his hands he carries a staff crowned with a pulsing obsidian crystal, and at his throat gleams the emblem of the Black Architect.
Personality
Cold, calculating, and ambitious to the point of obsession, Silas is a man who measures the world in schemes and sacrifices. His voice is silken, persuasive, yet every word carries venom. To him, people are tools: to be shaped, used, or broken as needed. His devotion to The Black Architect is absolute, but unlike many of his brethren, he hungers not just to serve, but to shape the return.
Background
The party first saw Blacksoul Silas in Session 7 - Infiltrating Duskwatch Keep, when he was trying to convince Mira Fallbrook to join the cult in Duskwatch Keep. Since then, they have seen notes and mentions from him here and there, but are not sure what he is up to.
