Silas Fauline

Silas Fauline is the bastard son of Kehli Riveraux, and Francis Fauline, the father of Cyra Fauline, a member of the Immortalists and a malum sire

history
Silas was born march 2nd 1456 as the eldest child between his parents. his dad left soon after his youngest sister was born, going on a boat to America and never returning. his mother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and being the eldest and his sisters all would catch sickness's (being only he and Amanda were the only 2 with the sire gene) and Amanda was far too young to work, it was his job to provide. however, being born during a time of inflation and poverty, he, despite being well liked in his village, couldn't get a job. he had to resort to stealing and begging, the stealing making him feel incredibly upset as Silas had a very strong moral code but he had to provide for his mother and sisters. he was very warm and friendly, befriending a girl who had recently travelled from the America, Valeria, who informed him his father hadn't died at sea but just started a new life, upsetting silas greatly.

in 1569, when silas was 23, he was arrested and sentenced to death, after pleading guilty hoping to save the little money his family had. because his family got to keep there wealth, he was put to death by pressing.

when he was on the stage and waved goodbye to his sisters he saw a boy in the audience, the boy winked at him and silas didn't know who he was but didn't think much about, as he was about to die. he was pressed to death, and died, hoping to die to leave his family with some honour and for the pain to stop.

silas woke up choking on dirt, buried in an unmarked grave, as a newly testified vampire. he was pulled out of the dirt when he started screaming and panicking. it was the boy who had winked at him during his execution. silas asked him if he was the devil and this was hell, the boy replied with, "almost" and introduced himself as Chase, explaining to Silas he was a vampire ect.

after silas fed for the first time, chase said he had to go and would be back in a month. silas returned home and his sisters rejoiced, saying it was a miracle, whilst his mother had called him a demon. everyone was confused but over time his mother rewarmened to him. after a week, valeria came to visit and cried with happiness that silas was alive, saying she too was a vampire. silas had to stay inside as he was not immune to the sun and was also, according to the towns folk, supposed to be dead.

eventually chase returned with the blood of all 4 other sires and the necklace that allowed silas to suppressed his malum curses. chase finally met Kehli and when silas tried to stop him, saying that his mother didn't faire well with new people, was amazed to see kehli hug Chase and greet him like an old friend. Chase explained that Kehli grew up with him around and that she had run away, and she was still alive because of the protective charm she wore. one day, someone saw Silas and him, Chase, and Valeria ran away, Kehli, Killing the man to keep him quiet.

silas settled into a very moral life etspecially for a vampire and travelled to America with the other two, gaining the name the 'immortalists' on the way. silas found his father, threatening him to go home and look after his sisters because he couldn't. giving his father money and the means to contact him.

Silas, Chase, and Valeria became very very close and really a family, even if Chase and Valeria bickered. eventually he got word that his mother was very very unwell, so he travelled home to say goodbye.

whilst there, his mother told him the story of her life, and why chase the way he was. after he left, he began to take being chases protector very seriously and tried to help him when his temper or addictive nature got the better of him.

in 1861, Valeria announced she was going to fight in the civil war to help free slaves from the conferarcy, silqs had often wondered how to help her with her plight and said he would join them, chase argued he didnt care about the outcome of the civil war but silas told him that if the confederacy won, they would have to leave the states and the hunt hadn't yet infiltrated it, he reluctantly agreed. the 3 enlisted in new yorks 12th regimement

however, the immortalists fell after Valeria was caught and staked by the hunt, silas blamed chase and they fell out. silas searched for Valeria but he never found her. instead settling in a small town named blackhurst and started going to school, setting up a life and friends for himself. whilst there, a girl moved in from London, Isla, and the two fought frequently. one day at a party he helped look after her when she was sick and she told him about her life. silas and her began dating soon after that. he also discovered a vampire drift forming in the town, and whilst he never offically joined, he became very close with them. he figured out very quickly that the court of vampires were very close, as well as a hunters group, but he chose to stay because Isla and his friends were there. but soon they saw him shift and he and isla ran away, travvelling into paris, france because he could collect money from his real heratige- the riveraux's.

they moved into an apartment on rue st Dominique street and isla had the baby, a daughter who they named Cyra Madeline rue Fauline, and they quickly decided that silas would stay home and look after cyra whilst isla attended university, meaning he got very close with his daughter, especially because he figured out she carried the sire gene too.

cyra could be a very restless child as they couldnt take her out a lot, still in fear the court would find them, and she could be a bit bossy, silas loved his daughter and let her get away with too much

however, one day, trixie told him the court had left the uk and he became slightly paranoid, so he went looking, and found chase, who was also in paris. he apologised for blaming chase for valerias capture and reconnected.

eventually the court caught up with silas and used a god slayer on him, he saw chase gearing up to save him but threw a glass shard through his shoulder so he wouldnt reveal himself, who they would have recognised. the court left and chase took him to a roof top to try save him, silas asked for his phone and called home, where he knew cyra would answer, he died whilst on the phone to her and chase bought his body back to the apartment but never formally introsuced himself
