Feral - Hot Mess - Transformation
Silver is a Hero in Deadlock. Silver makes her living tracking down lowlifes, but today New York’s misanthrope lycanthrope plans on summoning a god. Fortunately, her career as a bounty hunter has prepared her well for all that the ritual requires. She makes quick work of adversaries by catching them with her Entangling Bola, Boot Kicking them in the face, and finishing them off with a Slam Fire from her rifle. But inevitably, the Lycan Curse comes calling whether she likes it or not, and her foes will regret being too close when it does.

Lilah Silver is a mess. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, and the less is said about her personal life the better. But despite Silver's flaws she has managed to carve out a career as a successful bounty hunter, and while she would like to think that her successes are solely because she has incredible intuition, the fact that she’s a werewolf doesn’t hurt.
Lore
Silver's goal in the ritual is to get money and sort her life out.[1][2][3] She hopes that after the ritual, she won't have to worry about paying rent anymore.[4]
Silver hates her life and is aware of her self-destructive tendencies.[5][6] She has a habit of spending all of her money on rent or alcohol.[7] While she doesn't love being a bounty hunter, she believes she isn't good at anything else and would end up homeless if she didn't do a job that paid well.[8][9]
Silver has been a werewolf for as long as she can remember.[10] She claims to have her Lycanthropy under control.[11] Despite this, Silver seems unable to control her transformation due to it triggering automatically in-game without her compliance.[12]
Silver tries to take bounties in alive, although her methods usually end up killing them.[13] She's brought Vyper into custody on several occasions and is after a bounty on The Troubadour.[14][15]
Silver has an unnamed ex-partner who accused her of pushing people away.[16] Silver has trouble with trusting other people.[17]
Silver is paranoid that her teammates will steal her bounties.[20][21]
Silver loathes Shiv with a passion and refuses to believe he could change from his criminal past.[22][23] She believes he deserves a fate worse than death.[24] How Silver and Shiv met each other and why Silver hates Shiv is currently unknown.
An unfinished conversation with Grey Talon hints at Silver in disbelief that Grey Talon would support Shiv.[25]
Silver is old friends with Abrams, referring to him as "Abe."[29] According to Silver, they used to make "bad decisions" before Abrams became "boring."[30]
Silver is implied to have been hunting Drifter for a while and hates him.[32][33] Silver is also after a bounty on Calico.[34]
Silver has hunted and caught Vyper so many times that Vyper's use of Petrifying Bola comes from Silver's Entangling Bola.[14][35]
Silver and Venator get along with each other, planning to go drink whiskey together after the ritual.[36][37]
Mo & Krill have worked with Silver in the past and have a good working relationship with her.[38] While on the other team, they express concern over "how desperate" Silver has gotten and wish they could've helped her.[39]
According to Rem, Silver's hair smells like Bourbon.[40]

Trivia
During development, Silver was originally codenamed Shapeshifter, whose name was leaked in November 2025.[41]
The name of Silver's weapon, Hair of the Dog, is a shortening of the expressionHair of the Dog that Bit You, referring to alcohol consumed to lessen the effect of a hangover.
Silver is the first hero to possess a weapon without a traditional projectile or ranged option, as her primary fire in Werewolf form swings her claws to maim enemies in melee range. She's also the first hero to have two sets of abilities.
"Figuring What Happened Last Night in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Silver in the Hideout.
Silver's name could be a ironic reference to the fact that silver is a common weakness to werewolves.
