Silas

Silas is a member of the Ironbark Cult and the primary antagonist of Fears to Fathom - Ironbark Lookout. He is the one who stalks Jack Nelson into Ironbark State Park. 
== Appearances==
=== Fears to Fathom : Ironbark Lookout : ===
Throughout the entirety of Fears to Fathom - Ironbark Lookout, Silas constantly stalks Jack Nelson.
Silas can be seen in-game on four different occasions:
#He is first seen in the Roseburg Diner eating a Meatball Sub and Strawberry Slush. Next to him, his cultist garb can be seen underneath his jacket on the booth next to him. The player can talk to him, but he never responds with anything. Eventually, Silas disappears from the diner completely. At the same time, the bathroom door to the RV is locked. This implies that Silas enters the player's RV, hiding in the bathroom inside by jamming the door.
# While the player is talking to Billy at the gate of the state park, Silas can be seen walking into the forest through the window.
#As Jack is urinating off the side of the fire lookout tower, Silas can be seen approaching among the trees watching the player in the shadows. Once Jack is finished, he quietly walks away back into the forest.
#Silas eventually confronts Jack directly after he heads down to the shack to get wood for the third time. He introduces himself as Silas, although he mentions that "names can be deceiving". He claims to be a worker working at the nearby radio tower. When Jack ends the conversation, Silas unexpectedly says Jack's name and concludes in a creepy mysterious tone. When Connor is informed, he explains that the radio tower has been out of service for ages, and that Silas may be "another one of those goons playing pranks on you".
== Personality==
Silas is reclusive, withdrawn, and deranged. He enjoys lurking in the Ironbark State Park by himself at night, and enjoys stalking newcomers to the Ironbark State Park. He holds a radical naturalistic worldview, believing that disasters and violence in nature are necessary for the world to be "cleansed of impurities".

==Trivia==
*The name Silas has a Latin origin. meaning "forest" or "woods". 
**The name Silas is also commonly associated with Silvanus, a member of the early Christian church mentioned in the Bible.
***This connection may also relate to Silas's apparent radical religious beliefs and the Ironbark Cult altogether.
*Many of the encounters and observations that Jack Nelson has throughout Ironbark Lookout may or may not have been committed by Silas
**It is unknown if Silas is the whistling man who whistles throughout the game. However, at the Lacey Trail campsite, the man does seem to have a walk cycle similar to Silas.
**It is unclear if the cultist that scares Jack during the second night and sets up the baby deer shrine outside the lookout tower was Silas or not.
**It is also unclear if the cultist that chases Jack out of the forest is Silas.
*It is clear that Silas has noticed and stalked Jack Nelson right from the moment they saw each other in the diner.
*Given his comment to Jack about how names can be deceiving, it is likely that Silas is just an alias or pseudonym.
*On the initial release of Fears to Fathom - Ironbark Lookout, Silas's dialogue was bugged and a "Yellow" was appended to his name to spell "Silas.Yellow"
**It is unlikely that this is Silas's canonical name.
