Naturally he believed that this is a path that he should follow he's grown up knowing the lift style of the military. During his teen years his father took him out on hunting trips. These trips taught him extremely valuable lessons of patience, but also persistence. However, the most important skill that would effect his life is his marksmanship skills. Him becoming a skilled rifleman from the age of 15. He continued to go on these hunting trips, learn the skills of tracking, trapping, and foraging. Once he became of age he bolted to the recruiting office, all 6 branches were available for him to enlisted too. Wanting to use his marksmanship skills he spoke to the Marine. Within days he was being shipped off to USMC basic training, and in a handful of years he was enlisted as a professional marksman for the USMC.
Unfortunately however, during a training exercise his rifle miss-fired. Shrapnel from the 7.62 mm round spraying out of the chamber directly making contact with Silas, and his spotter. The two of them received near fatal wounds from this. Though the two did heal Silas received a brain trauma and therefore was medically discharged from the USMC and the military itself. Though his career ended he utilized his skills as a hunter, and continued to go professional with this. However, the lack of career and brain injury left Silas confused and unknowing of his original ways. Overtime his condition worsening SeleneCorp offered him to take part in this "Social Experiment" and in return they'll fix his condition allowing him to return to his hunting or even the USMC.
