The Silents

==Summary==
Members of the Church of the Silence, formerly the Papal Mainframe, the Confessional Priests (also known as Silents), were genetically engineered by the Church to allow people to confess their sins without remembering doing so, accomplished by fashioning the Priests so anyone looking at them would forget their encounter when they looked away. A renegade sect of Priests became obsessed with preventing the Siege of Trenzalore, and traveled back in time, secretly manipulating humanity since prehistoric times, and attempting to create a fixed death for the Doctor at Lake Silencio. They became known to the Doctor as Silents, observing the Time Lord on his travels until they were tricked by him and discovered by humanity in mid-20th century Earth. The non-renegade faction of Priests later became allies with the Doctor during the Siege of Trenzalore and aided him until his death.

<tabber>
|-|Normally=Memory Manipulation (Silents are uniquely "memory-proof"; anyone who saw them would instantly forget about them the moment they looked away — even if they saw a photograph of a Silent. Anyone looking at the Silents would recover their memories of previous sightings) and Mind Manipulation (The Silents influenced the actions of others by issuing commands to anyone looking at them. These orders would remain in a person's mind after they had forgotten the encounter with the Silent, acting like post-hypnotic suggestions. Any instruction spoken while a subject looked at a Silent, even a picture of one, would cause this effect), Electricity Manipulation and Absorption (Silents could also absorb electricity, even the smallest amount of static electricity from the air into their bodies, increase the voltage a hundred-fold and fire it from their hands)
