personality
Silas is a sociopath. He has no feelings nor much understanding of them in others. This makes interpersonal interaction a bit of a problem... and he has observed this and has created a persona which he slips into when around other people - not for their comfort, but for his continued survival. If others suspected what he was, then he would be thrown in a jail cell if not a padded room. No more hunting. No more rush of adrenaline. Creating the persona was the logical thing to do.
This persona is nothing more than a mask, but it's a good one. When it's on he's friendly and a touch sarcastic. It allows for his natural intelligence to show through and obscures his tendency to kill things. It also helps him blend in with everyone else.
While Silas doesn't have a moral code in the way most people do, he's as logical as a Vulcan, no doubt a coping mechanism retained from his youth.
history
If it weren't for the supernatural world, Silas would probably have become a serial killer. He has no qualms with killing things. He finds the hunt exhilarating. He is a lone wolf, neither interested in having friends nor at all concerned with changing that trait.
His personal history is one which he prefers to keep to himself. Dead parents, abusive grandparents, and a couple genetic malfunctions in his brain make him a psychiatrist's wet dream, not that they'll ever get a hold of him. He was introduced to the supernatural realm when he was a teenager. A small nest of vampires set up shop outside of town and he happened upon a couple of their victims. When a stranger showed up asking questions, he followed them. He led young Silas to the nest, where he watched from the safety of a tree as the vampires were killed. He had planned to leave after the hunter had, but the hunter spotted him and told him to get out of the tree. Silas asked him several questions, and the hunter answered them cautiously before telling the kid to get lost and forget about what he had seen. Silas reluctantly agreed to leave, but there would be no forgetting. Within a couple months he had stalked and staked his first vampire. He moved on to other creatures, but they remained a favorite of his for the rest of his life.
Once he came of age, he left home, opting for the transient lifestyle of the modern hunter. Ever since he's bounced around all over the continent, killing creepy crawlies as he went, always looking for the next big kill. Saving lives was only a byproduct of that.
notes
Since the crackdown on state borders, doing his usual drifter routine has become problematic. And with the unusually high count of hunters in the state he's occupying at the moment, his routine is destined to break. This will force him to adapt to the circumstances, possibly take a day job.
