Silas strives to be an honest and loyal knight of Nohr. He loves his country and sees its worth in the citizens he protects every day. Still, Silas is naive in many ways and this leads to struggles in his duties sometimes. He is honest to a fault and is able to read people very well, from their strengths and weaknesses to even how they're feeling. Once a reserved child, Silas has found his calling as a knight of Nohr. The arts were never his forte, but he wields a lance and sword as if they were extensions of his body, and as the years pass his skill only grows.

PERCEPTIVE
trait
Silas is uniquely skilled in studying people. It stems from his reserved nature as a child and being forced to read a room and the people in it. Nohrian society could be difficult to navigate and he learned that early. Still, the skill serves him well now. Silas easily picks up not just what people like and value, but more easily understands how society effects individuals.
ASTUTE
trait
In addition to his perceptive nature, Silas also often sees how best to turn a situation to his advantage. This is both on and off the battlefield.
SYMPATHETIC
trait
Silas easily feels sympathy for those around him. When he feels sorry for others, he goes out of his way to make them feel better. This can involve sparring with them or telling them funny stories. Most of all, he just hates to see anyone upset.
IDEALISTIC
trait
For Silas, a knight does not protect just the civilians of his own country, but innocents everywhere. Not really a leader himself, he prefers to follow, especially those who hold similar morals to himself and want to help everyone.
SELFLESS
trait
No problem is too big or too small for Silas. He's more than willing to help those in need, even if it involves going out of his way to do so. This can sometimes lead to him spending too much time on these tasks or overextending himself.
KNIGHT OF NOHR
canon
Age: 22
The events of Fates, any path. Silas is glad to be by Corrin's side once more, even if he's not remembered.
LION HEARTED
canon au
Age: 18
Born from a noble family in Faerghus, but without a Crest. He is expected to serve as a knight and attends Garreg Mach Monastery as part of the Blue Lions class.
A Noble Heart
Born into a noble Nohrian family, Silas rarely wanted for anything. His noble heritage granted him access to a quality education in both scholarly topics and the arts. Additionally, he was educated in the art of warfare, strategy, and diplomacy, as befitting a noble of his station.
However, many Nohrian nobles weren't the warmest of people and Silas often kept to himself. High society in Nohr could be dangerous and Silas learned from an early age to be quiet, to do as he was told, and speak only when spoken to. When his parents were given the chance to arrange a playdate between their son and a child of the Nohrian royal family, they jumped at it.
It wasn't until Silas met Corrin that he finally started to come out of his shell. Corrin, secluded for most of their life, was desperate for more people to be friends with. Silas warmed up to them quickly and the two became fast friends. They did everything together and those were the happiest days of Silas's childhood.
It all came to an end when, one day, seeking to make his friend happy, Silas took Corrin out of the fortress. Corrin had repeatedly expressed a wish to leave and see the world and this was Silas's attempt to make that dream a reality.
However, the pair were caught and, if not for Corrin, Silas would have lost his life that day. Instead, he was banished from the fortress and would not see his friend again for several long years.
Becoming friends with Corrin changed Silas. After that fateful day, Silas was determined to one day see his friend again. He had learned much and, thanks to Corrin, became more outgoing and developed an intense desire to help those around him. He did not want to see others suffering as his friend had. Eventually, Silas enlisted in the Nohrian army with the hope that he would one day be able to see Corrin again.
