Silas Vexx is a fable whispered among the downtrodden laborers of the Underhive. They say he was born in the darkness of a ruined dome, blessed with the "Gift of Three" by the Star Children. He does not lead the cults: He protects them. He is a lonely sentinel, a watcher from the gantries, appearing when he is needed to safeguard the brood – and to wreak vengeance on their enemies.
Dressed in a tattered, synth-weave poncho that smells of promethium and dried blood, Vexx speaks little, communicating mostly through the chittering clicks of his throat - a language only his bestial companion understands. His senses are that of a predator: He can hear a heartbeat through a bulkhead, and smell fear of men on the wind.
His method is terrifyingly contradictory: Moving with the utter silence of a ghost, but killing with the roar of a collapsing mine shaft. His weapon, a modified Sedition Pattern long rifle, fires rounds so heavy they crack the air itself, the echo rolling through the Underhive long after the target has been reduced to pulp.
He is always accompanied by Echo, a bio-form of unknown origin. Echo possesses no eyes, hunting entirely by pheromones and vibration. Fiercely loyal to Vexx, Echo serves as his spotter and his shield. When Vexx levels his rifle, Echo circles the perimeter, shredding anyone who tries to flank the sniper.
