Background: The Invalid was once one of 8 Founders of the Academy, and the pinnacle of the scientific frontier. Due to a debilitating illness that has taken more of his strength than his pride would allow, Silas has since withdrawn. Having grown weary of petty human strife, the Invalid disappeared from the Academy to a small rural town, intending to live out his days in quiet comfort. There he would stew, jaded. For all his brilliance, there was nothing that would compensate for a hale body. Once unmatched in intellect and wit he has since been locked in a stalemate fighting with the inevitable slow decline of failing health. Where he was once known for his sharpness, age and sickness has since fogged his mind. Though he remains (to the best of his ability) as meticulous a man and perceptive, he no longer sees with the same ease that his younger and keen self once did. His only comfort is Neiro, a strange young man who sought shelter in the Tea Shop during one seasonal downpour. Though he tolerates few attachments, Silas grudgingly accepted the albino's presence as one to stay.

Analysis: Frustrated with the illness that plagues him and cripples his corporeal form, the prideful invalid left the Academy nearly a decade before he meets Neiro. Silas is frustrated by several things, the pettiness of human emotion, and his inability to overcome the one most crucial thing, to name a few. He's just tired of dealing with things that no longer mattered. Or perhaps that he just didn't want to matter.
