WHO IS SILAS?

GIMMICK / PERSONA

A depressed musician that carries an aura of melancholy around him that makes everyone else miserable. Carries an unbreakable guitar that spreads black bile when he drags it along the ground.

ORIGIN STORY

Silas's real origins are something of a mystery. Some say that he was born during Hurricane Katrina right in the eye of the storm. Others claim he's a manifestation of sadness itself, aiming to make everyone depressed through his music. One thing's for sure, though. The man's a total bummer to be around.

The Sorrow became known for performing sad songs with his busted up black guitar in bars. His performances often left every patron, even the barkeeps and bouncers, in a near suicidal state. However, the songs themselves don't hold that effect on individuals. Silas carries a weird aura about him that drains all the color from the room and makes everyone incredibly depressed. No one can figure out why. Was it his porcelain white mask with a sad face indent he always wears during his concerts? Was it the fact that he carries his trademark around like Pyramid Head's sword? Was it the fact that it always seemed to leave black bile everywhere it's dragged across?

No one can say for certain. But what is for sure is that he's found his way into OSW, and he aims to make the world just as dreary and gloomy as him.

CATCHPHRASE

“"Nothing matters, and soon you won't either.", "Drown in infinite sadness."”

ENTRANCE

ENTRANCE SONG

"GRIEFWALK"
0:000:00

RING ENTRANCE

The lights die off as an acoustic guitar is heard being played. The atmosphere turns incredibly gloomy as the fans pull out their cellphones to illuminate the temple. The song plays for about two minutes before a lone spotlight turns on, revealing Silas playing the depressing tune on his guitar. He doesn't look up while playing as the light beams down, opting to instead walk toward the ring while performing the song. The audience is too sad to boo or cheer as he makes his way to the stairs. Once on the ring apron, he finishes performing his music before setting the guitar down and entering the ring. The lights turn back on as he makes his way to one of the four corners, leaning against one of them without resting his arms on the ropes.
