Silas Adler

Silas Adler was a legendary Jaeger who developed many of the basic hunting techniques and information about numerous creatures that roam the continent of Pamant. Before Silas, Jaegers were far more reluctant in sharing their techniques and information with other Jaegers. Silas brought about the foundations of a more interconnected Jaeger Brotherhood, showing that sharing information actually increased their efficency and proftiability. While Silas was admired and respected during his day, he is now considered to be the greatest Jaeger to have ever lived.

### Early Life (172 VE-187 VE)

Selma Adler was a seamstress working for her father's (Jahn Adler) business in Viertenberg when she became pregnant by an unknown man (much speculation has been made of the man's identity, though no conclusive facts have been established and Selma took that information to her grave). This caused her pious family great shame, leading them to send Selma to her uncle's home to deliever the child and give it up for adoption. Selma never made it to her uncle's home and instead ran away to Newfundown to start a new life with her child.

Silas was born on May 18th, 172 VE. Black haired and green eyed, Silas entered the world on the run. His mother never let him out of her sight, and all reports and inquiries have established that she loved him dearly. Selma's family made a few attempts at trying to find her and the child, but she always seemed to be a step ahead of her persuers. After three years living this way, Selma's family decided to let her go.

#### Rejecting the Jaeger

Selma decided to rebuild her life with Silas, starting her own embroidery business. From age three to eight, Silas and Selma lived in Newfundown and were able to establish a good business and make a decent living. During this time, a Brotherhood Jaeger only known as 'Karl' operated out of Newfundown. It is speculated that he knew Selma and Silas, possibly noticing Silas' potential. Jaeger records from this time period are...spotty, at best, and contradictory at second best. What is known, is that Jaeger Karl offered to buy Silas and train him as a Jaeger. Selma rejected this offer.

#### Near Tragedy

At age nine, Silas was delivering an order to one of his mother's clients when we was involved in an accient and trampled by a horse, nearly killing him. Selma did her best to mend his wounds on her own, as she couldn't afford a doctor, but Silas' condition began to deteriorate until a doctor showed up, unexpectly. It is believed that Jahn Adler paid for this doctor and had been keeping tabs on his daughter and grandson, but this has never been proven. Silas was able to make a full recovery and often wrote about this time in his life as when he knew that the Holy Mother had a mission for him in this life.

### Joining the Jaegers (185 VE)

During this time, the Brotherhood was a brotherhood in name only. Respect was had between Hauses but cooperation was not typical.
