(Appears 52, True Age Unknown)
Alias: The Man Beneath the Tracks
Disappeared: 1889
Origin: Railway Worker, South Eastern Railway Line, Kent
Incident: Silas was a track-walker and signalman assigned to inspect a short tunnel near Shorne Ridgeway after reports of unexplained vibrations. He entered the tunnel during his rounds and never came out. Search parties found only his oil lantern, still lit. He reappeared five days later during a thunderstorm, crawling from beneath the ballast at the Gravesend yard—covered in slate dust and humming Morse code no one recognized.
Faylinn Experience: He was taken into a subterranean waystation beneath the rail network—a non-place for journeys that never happen. Trains ran endlessly past, lit from within but carrying no one. He was made to repair impossible mechanisms using ghost-light and sound.
Scars:
His voice sometimes slips into rhythmic tapping—metal on metal
Hates tunnels; refuses to ride trains
Occasionally “shifts” slightly, as if pulled forward a second
Draws maps of train lines that don’t exist. Some match ley lines.
Still lives in a monitored care home. Aged well over 100 but his true aged is unknown.
