Silvano Sadira is the son of Savina Marino and Kansas Sadira. He was born into Crimson Dreams in March 2010 alongside his sisters, Parker Sadira and Artemis Marino. He was a participant in the AniWaya Conflict, and shortly after won the love of Giselle Fantasia. This left him with a decidedly hesitant view regarding Aniwaya and tainted his interactions with most members thereafter. After Crimson Dreams disbanded, Silvano joined Cour des Miracles and usurped its subleader, becoming Constable and eventually King. He has ruled since then, alone since the death of Charlotte Haskel in 2014.

He is the father of Eugene and Pascal by Giselle; Abigail, Alessan, Myrkr, Thyri, Serena and Gaia by Shiloh Dawnbringer; and Kalypso, and Leander by Mara Savoy. Most of his children reside with him and Shiloh in the Court, though a handful have wandered to other packs.

After a lengthy battle with rapid-onset dementia, he succumbed to old age, dying by the shores of Rabbit Lake on May 19th, 2018, at the age of eight years.

1.  Appearance

1.1  Forms

Lupus & Secui

Silvano is mottled all over, a mixture of black and brown. His back is a ridge of dark brown that fades into dusky black, and the brown goes along the backs of his legs and mottled down his arms. All four appendages are brown, socked. His short mane is the dark brown, and rather ruffled. The dark grey color goes from his forehead down the bridge of his nose. It is bordered by the dark brown, creating eyebrows as it circles down under his vivid emerald eyes. The brown border changes into dark cream, which is the most prominent from the brown border down his neck. It fades to a slightly darker color down his chest. The cream color is also present over his eyes.

His form is built for muscles and fighting, though it is all developed over his own training rather than from fighting experience. It took him a long time to build the muscles as he spends most of his time reading. But the AniWayan war gave him reason to exercise, which gave him a much more muscular frame. Silvano looks like a wolf made to fight.

Well proportionate in his Lupus form, Silvano's body twists into something much more bulky. His hips are lower than his shoulders, and his stance is wider to accommodate the larger muscles. His shoulders and neck are larger, the skin thicker and stronger against opposing jaws. His jaws are also more powerful, able to snap bones much easier. However, Silvano wastes more energy in this form and rarely uses it at all.

Optime

As his body shifts to be more humanoid, Silvano's pelt undergoes a slight change. His mane elongates to create a mop of curly brown hair that almost goes down to his eyes. The dark cream on his belly and chest fades to a much darker cream as the skin stretches over the abdominal muscles. His muscles become more pronounced in this form; his abs and pectorals are more defined and visible. His arms are well defined and his legs are long, albeit jagged with the presence of muscles.

Usually, the Sadira did not wear clothes, but took to wearing modified jeans to impress Giselle. Despite the breaking up of his relationship, he continues to wear pants whenever he goes out though it more instinctive than deliberately done.

Weaknesses

Combat

  • His large stature makes him weaker against smaller, more agile opponents in drawn out fights. In brute strength and finesse, he excels but wears out the longer a fight goes.
  • Prone to joint issues due to his size, especially injuries during combat. This leads to frequently aching limbs in the winter, though mild at the moment, will likely worsen as he ages.

Socio-Political

  • His moral fiber leads him to expect high things of other people, even if it has been shown they cannot display these traits themselves. He will be sorely disappointed in people as he also hopes for the best in them, which leads to distrust and soured relationships.
    • This is worsened by the fact he struggles with his own morals and his violations of these principles, leading to him being extremely conflicted on moral issues.
  • Struggles with loneliness and mild depression. He must keep himself frequently occupied or else find himself mercy to his thoughts. He reflects back on his failings and tends to get stuck in the past.
    • If he is lonely on top of this, the problem is exacerbated and he may fall into a deeper depression that requires help getting out of.
    • He seeks company at these times but is stubbornly tight-lipped when he suffers from these trapped-in-the-past moments. He does not seek help actively as he expects himself to be better than that and thus suffers for it.
  • He always tries to be truthful, which may bring him problems as he struggles with softening blows and white lies. He may tell them fairly easily but is exceptionally put off by how easy it is. His apparently lack of moral fiber disturbs and concerns him, leading to severe conflicting emotions.

Miscellaneous

  • The court's leadership position was rather flair and pomp that he still does not quite get, despite adapting trappings that simulate it. He tries his best but he is not overly dramatic and theatrical, which leads him to be a rather dull presenter. Often times, he is more to the point and direct, leaving things bluntly said. However, he had a care for feelings and tries to soften harsh truths, but often fails for his need to be truthful.

4.  Relationships

Family

Key Relations

  • Pascal Sadira: His son, once his youngest, Silvano has a very overprotective attitude towards him. He has defended him multiple times and started a war looking for him. he is not the best at dealing with this son of his, but he tries his best to give him whatever he needs, despite his failure to fully understand his mental illness.
  • Abigail Sadira: His oldest daughter and first child with Shiloh, he decidedly favors this daughter above his others, even if he won't admit it. She has shown ambition and desire to help which only endears her more to him. He appreciates her help, especially as he gets older and finds himself busy or overly tired.
  • Kalypso Savoy: Despite wanting to know the children he sired with Mara, this daughter is not what he expected. He finds her demanding, grating, and perhaps overly ambitious. Despite that, he does care for her, even if his attitude toward her is to try bringing her ego back down to earth. Unfortunately, his admiration for her drive is dwarfed by his distaste for her presumptive nature.
  • Skoll Haskel: His (sadly) closest friend. He cares greatly for Skoll and considers him important. This leads to him being overprotective at times. He has had a history of physically reprimanding the man, mostly as Skoll does not understand otherwise. He has some doubts on his maturity despite his age, but tries to give him the benefit of the doubt.
  • Linden Aatte: A strange relationship where Silvano is very guilty but wants to make amends. Knows that he is not in the best of books with him, but respects him greatly for his integrity. Trusts his opinion on the pack implicitly, and takes his guidance seriously.
  • Alder: While Silvano is not the closest to Alder, as a member of his trusted high ranking nobility, he trusts Alder very much. He defers to him the status of their livestock and horses, though wishes he knew more about the man.

Pack Relations

  • Cour Des Miracles members may be considered people he knows of or knows, but not very well.
  • Rio Marino: She is one of his cousins and he is happy to have her and her brood among him. As most of his family is gone to Italy or parts unknown, he likes having a piece of that nearby. He is not the closest to her but is still loyal to helping his family out.

Non-Pack Relations

  • Semini: A friend who he made when she delivered his lost son Pascal back to them, and then later when they bonded over their loss of Mara. While things almost escalated into seedier things, the King actually held back and did not pursue a physical relationship, insisting on a platonic friendship.
  • Anu: His mother's close friend and his former leader from Crimson Dreams, Silvano respects and loves the woman as an aunt. He does not see her often at all, but holds her dearly in his heart.

Former Major Relations

  • Shiloh Dawnrunner: The female that he slept with out of passion after reuniting with her. Their union produced a litter, though the King confessed that he does love her. Their relationship was up in the air, especially as the King has strayed from her in their long distance. She was unaware of the duplicity. Since she joined him at the Court, their relationship strengthened, though she doubted his fidelity. He, however, had renewed his drive to maintain her as the only love in his life. Her murder at the hands of Mistral shattered the aging man, who began to lose hold of himself after the end of the conflict.
  • Mara Savoy: What started as bickering turned into fiery romance. While still in a long-distance relationship with Shiloh, Mara and he started an affair that lasted through Shiloh's arrival at the Court. He does care quite a deal for Mara and the arrival of his pseudo-mate has strained their interactions. Her departure felt like a betrayal to the man, and he has not entirely forgiven her for not telling him of her pregnancy with his children.
  • Savina Marino: Was his mother. He misses her terribly and she was the major player in his life prior to her departure with the rest of their family back to Italy. He wishes he knew how she was and her absence weighs on him heavily.
  • Giselle Fantasia is his former mate who left to find herself after he told her of his affair. He has not seen her since she left nor has she contacted him since. He bears a grand amount of guilt toward her and is unlikely to fair well should she return.
  • Jazper Rhiannon-Knight His uncle, once mated to his blood aunt, he still considered Jaz family until the day the man died. His death rattled Silvano and his mortality was brought closer to the light. He loved his uncle, respected him, and inadvertently modeled himself after the man.
