DA

The DA (temporary name) is the main antagonist in the Silence series. During the events in the series he is approximately 1,500 years old. However, the Silence story is still being developed and as such much of the info on this page may change.

Background
The DA was born some time in the Dark Ages, or more accurately the Middle Ages. The details of his childhood and early life are unknown, but it is assumed he had a rather tragic experience.

Wirkshires and His Darkened View
It is unclear how he found the existence of wirkshires, but is apparently the only person in known history to have consciously harnessed their power, leading to his long life. The wirkshire he found spared him during the Dark Ages and allowed him to escape an otherwise horrible fate.

During his centuries of living his ideas of the world began to change. He started questioning how others could be so evil and what he did to deserve a life of such cruelty. He himself was free after he found a wirkshire, but he watched through the entire period of the Dark Ages as men destroyed and tortured one another.

The Source of the Problem
At some point he decided to use the power of his wirkshire to help others, which he was successful in doing but not nearly to the extent he wanted. Eventually he realized that no matter how much help he gave others, the cruelty and evil always kept coming back. It was around this time that he came up with his concept of the "patch solution": a poor, temporary solution to a greater underlying problem. He realized that to truly stop the cruelty and chaos within the world he had to stop the source; he had to fix human nature.

Many Wirkshires
Throughout hundreds of years he tested on people, trying to fix their nature rather than each individual problem. He found that his wirkshire was not powerful enough and wondered if any other wirkshires existed. He realized that many existed across the Earth and his new goal was to join them all together to form an ultimate wirkshire.

The Problem of Nature/The Source
During his quest for all the wirkshires he realized that animals exhibited the exact same tendencies, but on a much smaller scale due to their lack of "organized" society. He questioned this, and nature's inherent nature to destroy as well, such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. He now realized that he couldn't just change the nature of humans; he had to change the nature of nature... the nature of reality... the true source.

The Worldwide Disappearance
One of the DA's later tests was the worldwide disappearance. This was the beginning of Silence.
