Editing Character:Silk (section)

==Names and Disguises==
There is great power in names, the people of Chu have always known that. Only someone who knows their own true name can become all he can be. A secret name revealed is leaves a person vulnerable. A secret name known gives power over the one to whom it belongs. Among ordinary men being careful with names is merely prudent, but to an assassin it is vital. Birth names are abandoned upon becoming one of Harama's Dancers and the true names the goddess gives to the youths upon becoming adults are guarded jealously. Those ascending to the higher ranks commonly devise schemes against and plot the deaths of those, who learned their true name in moments of youthful weakness.<br>
That is, why beside the true and secret name everyone is given a personal name by which to refer to them. These first order names are usually derived from some quirk, habit or embarrassing event and can be given to trustworthy friends and allies without fear of surrendering power. Beyond those there are second order names, identities to be assumed in a certain context and often associated with a specific disguise. The least of all names are third order names, mere aliases to be given and discarded at a second's notice as the circumstances demand it.
===Silk===
This is the first order name, the one that is the truest name anyone other than himself will ever learn. Silk avoids lying while being himself and never uses this name while in disguise.
===Gavane===
'Gavane' is the name by which Silk is known to the merchants of Nexus and Northeast Spoke. The associated appearance is that of a young man of south-eastern origin with brown black hair, clad in green and blue clothes of simple cut but good material.
===Lei Zu===
The identity of 'Lei Zu' was adopted by Silk after his previously used name became known to the Wyld Hunt. It is the one known to the highest officials of Lanterntown as an agent of the Lawgiver Society. Lei Zu is a Realm-born man with green eyes and long black hair tied back into an orderly braid. He wears expensive silk robes in a shade of blue so dark it is almost black. 
===The White Reaper===
The White Reaper is a fictional persona that Silk has invented and invested some effort seeding rumors about. According to those rumors the White Reaper is a terrifying incarnation of death, dispensing brutal lessons to those opposing the Guild, the Council of Entities, the Harborhead Mercantile Association, or the High Houses of the Realm, depending on who is asked. The White Reaper wears robes of white that accentuate his inhumanly pale skin and smooth black hair. His twisted attractiveness is only marred by snake-like yellow eyes that speak of endless cruelty.
===Alraune===
For his return to Nexus Silk has assumed the appearance of a small, elderly man wearing an embroidered jacket over a severely cut white shirt and black pants. Behind silver-rimmed glasses gray eyes examine the world with dispassionate intelligence. All in all he looks more like a successful mortal accountant or a lawyer than like a powerful Solar Exalt. 
===Griid===
After having his Alraune-persona exposed to the Abyssals Silk has become Griid, a tall, well-muscled northern woman of noble bearing.
