[edit] History
Silas was an Immortal known for great evil as a member of "The Four Horsemen"; a group of Immortal raped and killed across two continents during the Bronze Age. The gruff-voiced Silas loves to do nothing more than kill, especially with the battle axe he wields. The Four Horseman came across a village where Pre-Immortal, Cassandra lives. The Four Horsemen killed everyone in her village. Silas and the others took trophies of their kills. Silas and Caspian were fighting over a blanket. Kronos, the leader of the Horsemen used his sword to split the blanket in two. Silas and Caspian fought with each other a lot. Silas was good friends with fellow Horseman, Methos.
Silas is living in Ukraine, living in the woods for many centuries. In 1997, he was chopping wood one day and sensed the presence of another Immortal, it was Kronos and Methos, The Four Horsemen are united after they get Caspian out of an insane asylum. They go to an abandoned submarine base in Bordeaux, France. Silas didn't realise how much times have changed, still wanting to ride on horseback to kill. Kronos makes plans to rule the world by developing a virus. Silas wants one of the monkeys in the cage as a pet. Later on, Kronos sends Silas and Caspian to deal with Duncan MacLeod. Duncan beheads Caspian and gets away. Silas returns to their hideout. Duncan goes there to rescue Cassandra, who was captured by the Horsemen. Duncan ends up fighting Kronos. Silas goes to behead Cassandra, but Methos stops Silas and fights him. Silas is beheaded by Methos at the same time Duncan beheads Kronos. Duncan and Methos receive a Double Quickening. Methos is grief stricken for what he done as he saw Silas the closest thing to a brother.
