Silas (Ancient Greek: Σίλας), known as The World's First Immortal Being, was an extremely powerful warlock and a former member of The Travellers who became one of the world's two first, oldest and most powerful immortal beings along with his true love, Amara, The World's First Immortal Woman. Silas was born some time during 1st Century B.C. According to the legend of Silas, his best friend and then fiancee Qetsiyah — who was obsessively in love with him — was the one who created the spell that granted him immortality, hoping that he in turn would grant her the same gift. However, Silas had fallen in love with another woman who was his true love, and was going to give her immortality instead of Qetsiyah so they could be together for eternity. Deeply enraged, jealous and vengeful, Qetsiyah murdered Silas's true love and sealed Silas away with just one thing: the cure for his immortality. Silas had two choices: take the cure and die, or stay immortal and sealed away. So Silas stayed alive and rotted for two thousand years, becoming consumed and twisted with hate and vengeance. And if he ever gets out, it will spell The End of the World as We Know It. Silas was one of the only two characters to become truly immortal along with Amara, one of the two most powerful witches along with Qetsiyah, was the oldest character in the series universe alongside Qetsiyah and Amara, and overall, the most powerful character in the series' universe. Silas was a distant ancestor of the Salvatore Family, and the progenitor of the Salvatore Doppelgänger bloodline. Advertisement: open/close all folders A-E
