Silas Blackwood
A name frequently mistaken for canon, yet absent from the official Gentleman Bastard books.
Silas Blackwood is a name often circulated within fan discussions but does not correspond to any character established in Scott Lynch's official Gentleman Bastard canon, including The Lies of Locke Lamora and The Republic of Thieves. While the world of Camorr and the Six Duchies are populated by many thieves, magicians, and nobles, this specific individual has no record in the published novels or authorized adaptations.

When researching the series, readers should rely on verified texts rather than unconfirmed lists or fan-generated databases that may inadvertently introduce fictionalized names as historical fact within the setting.
In Their Own Story
There is no canonical vignette featuring this subject, as they do not exist within the narrative scope of the Gentleman Bastard saga. Any story attributed to them would be a work of fan fiction rather than established lore from the master thief's world.
