Sillas Deepcreek

Personality

Sillas Deepcreek has maintained a persona that is for the people and by the people, even after rising to the ranks of Prime Minister of Stone Bay, Chaplain of the Deep, and briefly - King of Stone Bay. He is deeply committed to the Church of the Deep, describing it as his life's work. His actions can almost always be tied to one, or both, of two things: having a laugh or growing the faith. While rather adept at the political machinations of Stone Bay, Sillas, in recent years, has pulled back from the active manipulation of these systems. Instead, he utilizes the many leaders within the Church of the Deep to ensure that their influence is felt and that the smaller-folks of Kara are not tossed to the wayside.

Hailing for a large farming family within the Principality of Adenosa, his mental strengths do not rely on knowledge found in colleges or libraries. Instead, he is charming and charismatic - pulling real-world examples and metaphors to explain the world around them. As a Chosen Hand of Sanaquas, Sillas considers himself one of the few people within the world who has the right to speak on the Titans in a factual way. While wearing a facade of a priest of the people, Sillas has historically utilized his might - both divine and mortally-given - to ensure his will is brought to reality.

He is an approachable figure within Kara, and while not the most worldly, we is willing to share what he knows to those who approach him with respect. While he rebukes the many titles he holds, it is somewhat clear that he values them and is willing to use them as shields against those who would work against his efforts both within the Church of the Deep and greater-Kara. His Holiness may be the son of a kelp farmer, but his tongue is sharper than steel.

History

His Holiness' life began in Adenosa, the son of Maria and Sillas, Sr, a couple who sired many children as many agricultural families do. A working-poor family, he was not properly educated in a school house, instead thought at his mother's kitchen table. For the first 100 years of his life, he worked on his family's farm and was the heir-apparent for their family's work. Just after his 126th birthday, the man began to notice ships sailing on the surface of the water above their farm. In what he describes as "a moment of boredom," he chose to follow them out of the Principality of Adenosa and to the islands of Kara.

Arriving on the islands, he took up a job doing what he knew best - farming. Within a settlement to the west of the City of Stone Bay, he planted great fields of wheat and potatoes to supply the residents with food and make a meager living. It was not until a witch within the woods of Orlan whipped a great deal of the small-folk into a frenzy did Sillas' journey truly begin in Kara. This witch convinced a number of Karans to steal from the aristocracy of Stone Bay, which lead to the arrest of Sillas. Charged with an engorged number of crimes within an ecclesiastical court, Boris Bejewelled Johnson found him guilty and punished him with a sentence that would grow to be rather ironic: never becoming a citizen of Stone Bay, and never joining the Church of the Deep.

Months later, a dwarf by the name of Orin Stoneheart stumbled upon Sillas Deepcreek and lead him to a temple within the wilds of Orlan. Within it, the Lord Mother, Sanaquas, the Titan of the Sea, claimed him as a Chosen Hand of Sanaquas and charged him with growing Her faith. - Adenosa (120ish years) - Kara (crime) - Kara (Chosen Hand, Chaplain, Deputy Mayor, Prime Minister) - Kara (Nieseat) - Kara (Kraken) - Kara (post-nieseat) - Modern
