Dr. Silence was a medical doctor turned occult detective. Independently wealthy due to an inheritance, he chose to help those who could not pay. Once his clinic was up and running, he lent his free time to investigating psychic and occult mysteries. He spent five years putting himself through “long and severe training, at once physical, mental and spiritual.” He acquired a few new skills, including the ability to protect himself from paranormal attacks. He is more than 40 years old, thin, with brown eyes, and a well-trimmed beard. Though regarded as an eccentric, he was confident, with great determination and strength of purpose. He battled astral werewolves, fire elementals, and other fiends.
