▲== History ==
▲== Appearance & Personality ==
Silence Montane runs a waystop which serves as a neutral zone and a safe location to rest in the Forests, as well as place to buy food and drink.
▲Silence is a stout woman who walked with a noticeable limp.{{ref|b|sfs}} She is also shorter than her daughter, William Ann, much to her joy. When Silence gets very nervous, her fingers would start shaking uncontrollably.
Silence was raised primarily by her [[Silence's grandmother|Grandmother]], a tough Forescout woman who was very strict and hard on Silence. Silence was once married, but her husband, William, became a [[shade]], and is rumored to guard the waystop.{{book ref|sfs}}

▲Silence commonly wears a scowl, although [[Daggon]] believes that it is simply the way that Silence greets people.{{ref|b|sfs}} Daggon and Silence seem to have some sort of connection, as Silence often gives him an extra slice of venison and scowls at him less than she does to others. Silence is a tough woman, who is said to show less affection than a stone.

The '''White Fox'''
▲{{quote|The one you have to watch for is the White Fox. They say he shook hands with the [[Evil]] itself, that he visited the [[Fallen World]] and came back with strange powers. He can kindle fire on even the deepest of nights, and no [[shade]] will dare come for his soul. Yes, the White Fox. Meanest bastard in these parts for sure. Pray he doesn’t set his eyes on you, friend. If he does, you’re dead.|[[Daggon]] on the White Fox{{ref|b|sfs}}}}
The White Fox
▲The '''White Fox''' was a bounty hunter widely known in the [[Forests of Hell]].{{ref|b|sfs}}
Being such a prolific bounty hunter, rumors about the White Fox's exploits have grown up and he is a favorite topic of storytellers.{{book ref
▲The White Fox had been active for around ten years and had turned in hundreds of bounties to the forts, all without revealing his identity to the general populace by killing everyone to have seen his face.{{ref|b|sfs}} He was not interested in small time bounties, always bringing in more difficult and valuable targets.
▲Being such a prolific bounty hunter, rumors about the White Fox's exploits have grown up and he is a favorite topic of storytellers.{{ref|b|sfs}} He is rumored to have strange powers, to have visited the [[Evil]], to be able to break the [[Simple Rules]] because he does not fear [[shade]]s. [[Daggon]] considered himself an expert on the White Fox and did not believe that he would come to [[Silence's waystop]] because it was neutral territory. Daggon would tell men stories about the White Fox in exchange for drinks.
Silence ultimately decides to pin the White Fox identity on [[Theopolis]] after his death so that she can claim the bounty for Chesterton Divide and explain Theopolis' death without directing suspicion towards herself.{{book ref|sfs}}
▲The White Fox was rumored to have captured [[Makepeace Hapshire]].{{ref|b|sfs}}
== Trivia ==
* At the midnight release/book signing for [[Shadows of Self]], a scavenger hunt-style "Wanted" poster labeled Silence as a member of the 17th shard. This was not in any way a canonical event, merely a way of getting the [[17thshard.com]] booth involved in the festivities.
