The Silver


 * Under construction**

The Silver are a vampiric race who feed on human blood. They are stronger and faster than humans, and are functionally immortal; though they can be killed, they do not age, and they have the ability to heal themselves of even life-threatening wounds by drinking blood.

The name 'Silver' is taken from the silver colour that threads through the whites of their eyes. It is possible for a Silver to hide this and appear human. If one of the Silver falls in love, their irises also become silver-coloured, in a process called 'silvering'; if the love is requited, their eyes become gold.

Before the Revelation, most Silver were scattered around the world in small groups, and were not aware of each others existence. As more and more Silver were made, they began to come together; the numbers have risen significantly at the beginning of the 21st century. It is not known who the first Silver were, but Sol is among the oldest.

Silver can have children, but pregnancy is rare. Drew is the child of two Silver, as are Lucas and Winta.

In the Sovereign trilogy
After the Fall, the Silver who live in the Blue go by the name 'Nobles', and keep the silver in their eyes hidden from the humans who live in the city.
