Silvia
The Question
“And why will it be different in your hands?”
Born to a noble house and raised to inherit it, Silvia gave up her title for the love of a Frysian rebel and has lived in disgrace ever since. She knows the law of the occupiers better than the soldiers who enforce it, and she serves the crew as the one face that officials will not think to doubt. It was Silvia who asked their leader why the Millennium would be any different in his hands, and she is still waiting for an answer.

The Chronicle
The Heir
Silvia was raised among the people who write the laws of the occupied lands. She learned their manners, their loopholes and their contempt, and she was meant to inherit all three. Instead she fell in love with a Frysian from the camps named Dred, and her family cast her out for it.
The Wrong Horse
By her own account she bet on the wrong horse. She and Dred have parted and returned to each other more times than the crew can count, and she knows more of where he spends his nights than he believes. Yet he is also the reason she is still alive and safe, and she has not left.
The Warehouse
When the crew first gathered, their leader spoke of justice, of balance and of returning the Millennium to the people. Silvia alone asked him why it would be different in his hands. He gave no answer then and has given none since. She has more to lose from this mission than any of them, and she is the only one who has said so aloud.
She asked the only question that matters on the first day. No one has answered it.
