Silas Corthwaite

==Background==
Silas was a rebel soldier during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden. Years later, he was hunting on the grounds of Arl Urien of Denerim without permission when Harwen Raleigh captured him and locked him in the dungeons of the Arl's estate. He was there for some months when Leliana finally found him.
==Involvement==
He is found in the dungeon by Leliana after she is betrayed by Marjolaine. After he escapes from the dungeons he joins Leliana and Sketch, in their pursuit of Marjolaine and Raleigh. Once Raleigh and the soldiers of his mercenary company, 'The Hard Line', have been defeated at Forlorn Cove, Leliana may choose to let Silas kill Harwen as repayment for his suffering at Raleigh's hands. Afterwards Silas becomes a member of the chantry. He may use Tug's Edge as a weapon if it is given to him as a gift by Leliana.
==Tropes==
The Atoner: He seeks to join the Chantry to atone for the poaching that got him imprisoned.
Distaff Counterpart: To Leliana.
I Owe You My Life: He's grateful for his rescue from Harwen's dungeon.
Sixth Ranger: Joins the party in after he's rescued.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Tug, both are Weapon and Shield warriors.
This Is Not My Life to Take: Leliana can allow Silas to finish off Raleigh after defeating him in battle. He smacks him around and throws him off a cliff.
Tragic Keepsake: There is a sidequest where you can give Tug's handaxe to either him or Sketch.
