Silas is a hybrid comprised mostly of wolf and coyote blood, but also with a hint of Siberian husky dog. In lupus form, Silas has a lithe, streamlined frame which clearly reflects heavy coyote influence (also apparent in his small, tapered muzzle and large ears). In Optime, his frame is slightly lanky, but has an athletic build with broad shoulders and toned muscles. His hair, onyx in color, is left long and falls just past his shoulders; however, is cut shorter around his face so as to create a fringe.
His coloring is reminiscent to that of a black & tan husky. Much of his face, neck, and back are dominated by deep grey and black fur, although this fades from brown to tan that runs along his belly and legs. His coat is medium in length, giving a well-furred appearance, but is never so long as to obscure the clean-cut outline of his frame. Both eyes are the same almond shaped, icy blue of his father – the color a very pale shade, almost white, though there is a ring of deep indigo along their outermost edge.

Brief (1-3 paragraphs, sparsely detailed) overview of character history. Sie likes to repeat this section in the character's forum profile, since it's the shortest and easiest to parse for someone just browsin' over the forum profile.
