Character from The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

Also known as: Silas, Silas Veliant, King Silas, The Rat King

What They Know

• King of Maridrina — rules the northern kingdom whose economy depends on trade access through Ithicana's bridge
• Raised twelve daughters in an isolated compound as spies and assassins — selected Lara as the weapon to destroy Ithicana
• Fed his daughters propaganda about Ithicana's cruelty to ensure their loyalty to the mission — the lies are the foundation of Lara's conditioning
• His strategic goal: seize the bridge to make Maridrina the dominant continental power and end dependence on Ithicana's trade tariffs
• Treats his children as tools — including his son Keris, whose intellectual nature he despises as weakness
• His inability to understand non-transactional loyalty is his fatal blindness — he can't model people who choose love over power
