Silas Darkmoon



Silas Darkmoon is the founder and leader of the Darkmoon Faire, an exotic bunch of wandering showmen, who together celebrate the wondrous and mysterious idiosyncrasies found in Azeroth. Previously operating in Mulgore and Elwynn Forest, his Faire has since the time of Deathwing's fall moved to Darkmoon Island.

Silas Darkmoon announces corn dog eating contests.

Legends: Blood Runs Thicker
At some point Silas and his crew visited Southshore for performance.

When Kerri Hicks was wrongfully accused by Cedrick Fallrook of his brother Erik Fallrook's murder, Silas and the rest of the Darkmoon Faire worked together to prove her innocence. When it became impossible for them to do so in time to prevent Kerri's execution, they opted instead for breaking her out of jail. Though successful, they were caught before they could escape. Luckily, it was revealed that Yebb Neblegear had found a witness that proved Kerri's innocence, and Kerri and the rest of the Darkmoon Faire were free to go.

Later on, Silas and the rest of the Faire would abduct the murderer Cedrick from his home after he had been banished by his father, enforcing their own brand of justice by stuffing Cedrick inside his brother's coffin and burying him alive. Silas would not stand for violence on his fairegrounds, but nor would he forgive slights against his "family of freaks".

Notes and trivia

 * He is a seller on the Black Market Auction House.
 * Some of the carnies hired by Silas died in unexplained fashions in the wilderness of the isle. Most notable are the goblin Kupp Coincare whose debt he paid, jungle troll Zazla whom he rescued from an execution and the human Brendon Paulson whom he took as a kid from Strom (likely meant to be Stromgarde.)
 * May have invented - or at least helped invent - Silas' Sphere of Transformation
 * Silas is the only NPC in the game to have an actual paragraph break in a single speech bubble.
 * Silas Darkmoon may be a reference to Samson from the television series Carnivàle, played by Michael J. Anderson. Both characters are leaders of traveling carnivals, both dress similar and use a walking stick/cane, and both have similar stature. (Anderson has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which made him very short.)
