History: Silas Cavendish hails from a long line of aristocrats and is the scion of the renowned Cavendish family. Born into privilege and wealth, he inherited the title and responsibilities associated with his family's esteemed lineage at a very young age. Silas is the direct descendant of William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, and his first wife, Lady Georgiana Spencer. Both having been prestigious members of the Royal Arcane Society.

Silas's childhood was shaped by the influence of his esteemed family, and he was groomed to uphold the Cavendish name and legacy. However, behind the grand facade of their ancestral seat, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, lies a darker tale. Silas's father, plagued by scandal and a turbulent temper, subjected him to a tumultuous upbringing. In an unfortunate turn of events, Silas's father, burdened by his own demons, met a tragic end. The circumstances surrounding his death were shrouded in mystery, and Silas bore the weight of the family's secrets. Determined to protect the Cavendish name and ensure its continued prosperity, Silas assumed the role of leader and became the guardian of their illustrious estates.

At the age of 12, he was too young to inherit the title, and the Cavendish estates and affairs were managed by a designated guardian acting as a steward and administrator, lighting a fire within the young boy to get himself ready and well-prepared to take over once he was of age. He took over running the estate at the tender age of 18, being finally deemed old enough. Under Silas's guidance, the Cavendish estates thrived, and their influence in English society grew. However, he became known as the Bachelor Duke, because he never married. A patron of the Whigs, his absorbing passions were more cultural than political, with deep interests in horticulture, literature, science and sculpture.
