Silas Kasper is a wolf from Zion and a former member of the Boreas faction.
Raised in war, he became a soldier and was never allowed to forget that his kin were killed before he was born. He briefly "retired" from combat when a sister from a younger litter had puppies; when she died, he became their father figure.
When Amund Fannar tapped him for a revenge mission, Silas was compelled to go -- but, much to his displeasure, his nephew Zacchaeus was also of age to go to war. Both fought in the Second Boreas Conflict, and Silas notably helped kill Artemisia Eternity in defense of Zacchaeus. However, he could not protect the boy forever; in the final battle, Zacchaeus was killed along with the majority of the Boreas contingent.
After the battle, Silas was enslaved in Salsola by Loki Helsi. Biding his time, he acted the part of a slave for a few seasons until the start of the Inferni-Salsola War -- at which point a fluke allowed him to kidnap Loki's son, Ask Fylgja. With Ask as a briefly-held hostage, Silas escaped Salsola.
Barely holding himself together due to his lengthy captivity and his guilt over his adoptive son's death, he roamed as a loner for about half a year -- until he met a few strangers with some odd beliefs. He was inducted into the Eyes of Omni and listened to their sermons about the apocalypse, finding connections between their fiery visions and the revelations of his own faith. Largely remaining on the fringes of the fanatics' group, Silas did not participate in their heinous acts, though their passion and apparent success bolstered his own ambitions for revenge.
By some twist of fate, Silas ran across an older Ask. Taking advantage of the boy's directionless anger and uncertain memories, he convinced Ask that the pack he'd been stolen from was a cruel one, and offered to escort him back to Salsola to see this for himself. Though neither trusted each other, this was enough motivation for them to travel north together, where Silas managed to track Loki down. Using his enemy's son as a distraction -- the second-to-last face Loki would see before he died -- Silas killed his former slaver and fled before he could be caught.
