Black Sails was the first thing I mainlined during quarantine and I absolutely fell in love with the show. I've had a bit of a rough year and was already thinking about jumping into RP since it's comforting to me and it just seemed like I was waiting for a character to jump out at me.

Silver's got aspects of characters I tend to lean towards--namely the second in command to somebody else who is far more intimidating (but can also be scary when he needs to be). And I had a hard cut off point from canon to take him from where I wouldn't feel pressure to do any catch ups. I like having him as my non-complicated (mostly) guy.

TBH I actually love Flint more but I cannot play characters like him.
