Silas is the illegitimate son of the king of Northern Ridge, a nation neighbouring Albion, and his mistress. Northern Ridge is a Germanic town. Silas has long known that the king is his father but his father has made it clear he wants nothing to do with him. Silas works hard to try to make himself worthy of his families affection but it’s hard when his family have outcasted him and his own people see him as a mistake. He came to Albion to be a knight to make his father proud.
