The Lightwoods

The Silent Brothers are a powerful group of all male Shadowhunters. To strengthen their minds, they have taken upon themselves the most powerful of runes known to Shadowhunters. However, the process mutilates their appearance. They are among the most feared and dangerous Shadowhunters. They are so powerful that they even scare other Shadowhunters. The Silent Brothers are Archivists. They keep the records of the Nephilim within the confines of the Silent City in which they reside. They are duty bound to assist Shadowhunters in their quests to defeat the forces of demons. They are not fighters in the way that other Shadowhunters are. They constantly do everything in their power to learn more. Primarily, The Silent Brothers are archivists. They keep extensive records of all Shadowhunter transactions and operations. They hold the histories of the Nephilim within the confines of their Silent City. They keep the information on all recorded cases of reparations within their archives. Additionally, the Silent Brothers keep exhaustive records on all members of the Clave. They have knowledge of all Shadowhunters. Their records even stretch so far as to knowing the Shadowhunters since the beginning of the race. They are also the keepers of Maellartach, the Mortal Sword. The Silent Brothers usually cover themselves with heavy hooded robes the colour of parchment and with an intricate runic design along the hem and sleeves in the colour of dried blood. Underneath the robe they have bald heads that are as white as eggs. They have no eyes, just indents where they had once been. Their lips are crisscrossed with a pattern of dark lines that resemble surgical stitches. Their skin is as thin as parchment paper and inked all over with runes. The Silent Brothers can read the minds of those around them and extract information. They can also destroy minds. The Brothers have the ability to crack a man's mind and send him into madness, if they so desired.
