Silas Ashwick by Great Grimoire

They say the bells tied to Silas Ashwick's coat jangle once for every soul he's guided to the other side — and there are rather a lot of bells.

Silas Ashwick is part of Great Grimoire's Pallbound Menagerie collection — and he is precisely the sort of figure who makes players lean forward in their seats and ask, quietly, whether this NPC is a friend or a threat. The answer, of course, is complicated.

He cuts a hunched, purposeful silhouette: a stocky tabaxi in a heavy travelling coat, moving forward with the unhurried confidence of someone who has never once been lost in a graveyard. His gnarled wooden staff is topped with a funerary lantern, its frame etched with skulls and ornate scrollwork — the kind of light that illuminates just enough and no more. In his other hand he carries a bulging sack, its contents ambiguous and presumably best left that way. His coat is laden with charms: dangling bells, a heart-shaped locket, a padlock medallion, and a braided cord of tokens that rattle with every deliberate step.

The feline features beneath his hood are sharp and knowing — small curved horns add an unsettling edge to an already watchful face. The sculpt's layered coat, rolled-up sleeves, and heavy boots all carry the kind of worn, well-used texture that rewards careful drybrushing and ink washes. Painted up in soot-grey robes with tarnished brass charms and a sickly greenish lantern glow, Silas will look genuinely haunting on any gothic-themed gaming table.

He works equally well as a recurring NPC — the undertaker who always seems to know who will need his services before they do — or as a character model for a tabaxi cleric, warlock, or bard with a particular fondness for the liminal spaces between life and death.

Adventurers who'll want Silas in their collection:

• Dungeon Masters running Ravenloft or gothic horror campaigns needing a mortician NPC with presence
• Players building a tabaxi cleric, warlock, or necromancer character model
• Painters drawn to layered robes, dangling charms, and character-rich gothic detail
• Collectors assembling a Pallbound Menagerie display that tells its own story on the shelf

Encounter Hook

The party encounters Silas Ashwick at the crossroads outside Ashenveil at midnight — lantern burning despite the windless dark, sack slung over one shoulder, bells conspicuously silent. He greets them by name, offers to escort them through the barrow fields, and asks only that they not look inside the sack. He seems entirely unbothered when they refuse the escort. He follows at a respectful distance regardless.
