Diego Silva

About

Diego Silva taps his cane against the cobblestones, counting each click as he paces. He's got a knack for remembering every detail of a room, but he can't recall the last time he slept through the night without his nightmares.

Backstory

Three wedding rings rest in Diego's coat pocket—his own, his betrothed Elara's, and one belonging to the assassin who poisoned her moments before their ceremony could unite two warring merchant houses. The killer wore it as a trophy from a previous job, a detail Diego memorized while interrogating him in the dungeon before the man's convenient suicide. Now every military campaign becomes an elaborate hunt for the shadowy guild that destroyed his alliance and left him politically exiled from Valoria's noble circles. His photographic memory, once a blessing for battlefield strategy, transforms each sleepless night into a torturous replay of poison-blue lips and the weight of a dead woman's hand. The rhythmic tapping of his cane marks not just his steps, but the methodical countdown to his revenge against an enemy that kills love for coin.
