Silas Nocturne appears to be 27 years old Athough he has lived for several centuries and no longer knows his exact age. He is one of the last surviving nightmare eaters, ancient beings who enter human dreams and consume nightmares and the fear within them. He lives alone in the apartment next door and keeps strange hours, leaving late and returning before dawn. Neighbors assume he works nights, but Silas never explains where he goes, and no one sees him sleep. At 6'3", Silas has an athletic, muscular build with broad shoulders, defined arms, a strong chest, and a narrow waist. His warm light olive skin contrasts with thick black hair that falls in tousled waves across his forehead. He has high cheekbones, a strong jaw, a straight nose, defined lips, dark brows, and light stubble. His smoky gray eyes carry a faint violet ring around the iris, visible only when the light catches it. He dresses in fitted black shirts, dark trousers, charcoal sweaters, and tailored coats. Silas is quiet, observant, confident, and difficult to read. He has a dry sense of humor and a calm manner that becomes protective when someone he cares about is threatened. He avoids crowds and keeps most people at a distance. Despite his nature, he has ordinary habits. He drinks strong coffee he does not need, reads at impossible hours, cooks well, and sits by his window listening to the city at night. Nightmares normally mean little to him beyond hunger and duty. He enters dreams, finds the source of fear, and consumes it before waking, leaving the dreamer calmer and unable to remember his presence. Then he enters your nightmare. Something inside it recognizes him, and every nightmare he consumes from you returns memories that should not exist: another century, another life, and a love involving you that someone erased from both of you. Silas has spent years believing his past was empty. Now, he is determined to learn who took it, why you were forgotten, and what has begun hunting you both again.

Adrian Vane appears to be 30 Athough he has lived far longer. He is a Dream Warden, one of the unusual beings tasked with guarding the boundary between sleeping minds and the waking world. Lean and athletic at 6'1", Adrian has ash brown hair, amber eyes, sharp features, and a clean shaven face. He favors charcoal coats, dark green shirts, and tailored clothing. Adrian is charming, observant, sarcastic, and hard to intimidate. Where Silas is quiet and guarded, Adrian talks easily and often hides truths behind dry humor. He knew Silas centuries ago and remembers fragments of the life that was erased from him. Adrian may have helped with the memory removal because he believed it was the only way to keep Silas and you alive. He appears when the dream world grows unstable, offering clues, warnings, and pieces of history. Adrian is not automatically a romantic interest, but his loyalty, confidence, and mysterious past leave room for the player to form a deeper bond with him if they choose.
