| - Captain Silver is a retired veteran of the United States military; he is always accompanied by a parrot named Flint (Polly in some English translations). Flint's original owner was Silver's war comrade and subordinate Randy, who was killed by Fata Morgana, apparently during the invasion depicted in Sonic Wings. Silver fights Fata Morgana to avenge Randy's death, just as he cares for Flint in Randy's memory. Character notes in Pseudo Sky Rascals reveal that Silver's title in Sonic Wings 2 was meant to be Colonel and not Captain; however, so many magazines got the title wrong, the designers changed the title to Captain for Sonic Wings Special. Silver is normally taciturn, but he also can be quite emotional; his character description states that he even cries over Randy in combat. Most of the time, he views Flint as his only friend, and Silver spends his evenings drinking in a bar. He has little patience for some of the more exuberant members of Project Blue (Angela for instance), but he respects the fighting abilities of Hien, Keaton, and the like. Silver usually resists the attempts of the others to befriend him; apparently no one can take Randy's place. His character description also points out that he's a bachelor and that he apparently worked at Cincia's residence for a while. A point garnering many comments from the other characters is Silver's completely bald head; his nose is on the large side. He is also characterized by his deep blue eyes and brown mustache; in Special/Limited, he has grown a matching goatee. Silver always wears a military green uniform, and in Special/Limited, he and Flint both wear headsets. In some game artwork, Silver is shown holding a set of dog tags, presumably Randy's.
