Sylver

*Shine silver under moonlit night,*

*feathers dark as blackest coals.*

*Soon will come when It takes flight,*

*beware the Raven, king of souls.*

#### **Overview**

Sylver-whom-is-Malekai is a Grey Lord and a being of disputed origin. He holds undisputed claim to the Twilight Valley and its holdings, but not one resident can—or will—provide information regarding Sylver. What is known is that he is incredibly powerful, though the application of this power is a subject of debate. Some argue he plans to control the universe from the shadows, or that he already is. Others paint him as a benevolent individual, helping on a larger scale.

#### **Appearance**

Sylver has been known to take many forms, more notably being his Manifestations—such as the Bandaged Man and the Iron Smith. Sylver's arguably "common" humanoid form is that of a pale human man. Hair color and style can vary, though is typically either short and curly or shoulder-length and straight and a mixture of blacks, grays and whites; most common hairstyle is likely straight black hair. Sylver's eye color can vary widely, often displaying heterochromic properties, though is typically some combination of soft gold, any range of silver, icy blue, or various grays. Height commonly ranges between 5'10 and 6'5. His apparent age ranges on estimate between twenty and forty.

#### **Names and Titles**

Sylver has been ascribed many names throughout time, though he almost never properly recognizes them. The only names he has been confirmed to identify by, in fact, are Sylver and Malekai. As wide as the range of his names may be, Sylver's titles are likely even more numerous. Among his many are fanciful names such as the "Being Behind the Sky", the "Inevitable Adjutant", the "Maw of the Void", and the lengthy "Cursed Beating Heart through which the Universe Runs as Lifebood." As folklore is wont to follow, the titles get more incredulous and absurd the more one searches. His most official title has been stated, on occasion, to be "The Bleeding Raven." Sylver openly recognizes his status as a Grey Lord.

#### **Abilities**

While Sylver's abilities have almost certainly not been documented in full, many have been displayed, and others have been displayed through work of his closest subsidiaries, the Hands of Malekai. Notable among these abilities are:

Soul Manipulation - Sylver's control of Soul is considerably absolute. He can make use of the energy in countless ways.

Fate Manipulation - The ability to peer into and alter the flow of fate, in Sylver's case on a very large scale.

Life Magic - Sylver has almost never been seen using any form of Life-based sorcery, though one of the Hands of Malekai has.

Material Control - While he has been shown to influence other materials, Sylver's most applied material is, fittingly, silver, which he affect in seemingly limitless quantities.

Illusionary Magic - Sylver has been documented to use Illusion magic on side of both Soul and Null.

Shapeshifting - Sylver, in the many forms he has taken, is a proficient shapeshifter.

Conjuration - Sylver has, on occasion, used his abilities of Soul and Null to create entities.

Spatial Manipulation - Sylver's Spatial Manipulation is considered to be among his most powerful and prominent abilities. He is capable of many feats with this ability that would seem an objection to physical laws.

Ritualry - Among his most powerful abilities, Sylver is a ritualist without parallels. He has been shown to create diagrams and rituals capable of functions that should, by all known means, be impossible.

Null Manipulation - Sylver's control of Null is considerably absolute. He can make use of the substance in countless ways.
