The creature that was once Silas lived in the mines, killing anyone who strayed too close to his new domain. His body was malformed, however, the skin shriveled and rotted in the damp. Either with his mother’s help or by his own hand, he began taking replacement body parts from his victims to repair the sections of himself that were failing. When the mines were closed up, his source of supplies was lost, and so his mother granted him access to the town through a tunnel she had carved into her own home.
