Just now seeing this still:  And with what little I got of the story that the Professor was telling, I'm really starting to believe that there is some reincarnation of this being he was talking about. The 'Ouroboros' design is leading me to that: The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (compare with phoenix). It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished.Maybe he's this being but has only been able to be reincarnated in mortal bodies. With the Hunters and finding the 'cure', he'll be able to regain his original body or the immortality he was seeking way back when. Maybe the Hunter who completes their Mark becomes a viable vessel for him or something of that sort. |

Interesting theory Slash, that he is who he was talking about. That would make him very scary indeed. I noticed Damon seemed a little perplexed or curious about that story, but he had other things on his mind at the time.

Yeah I never bought that there was a cure in the literal sense in the first place. Hunters have too much of a deep hatred for vampires to want to do them any favors.
When Shane was going on about that story of Silas it made me think that the five hunters mark is probably marks a spell and this being will get resurrected and then rid the world of all vampires and therefore 'curing' the world of vampires.
It also makes sense why Shane is interested in Bonnie because he needs a witch, most likely a Bennett to spell this ritual.

If 'Silas' predates Esther and her spell, then I can see why the Hunters target Vampires. Seems like Esther used a variation of whatever 'immortality' spell was used/attempted/researched for him and made it work with Vampires. Barring a few weaknesses (vervain, sunlight, the heart removal, etc.), Vampires are immortal and in Klaus'/the Originals' cases, they're more durable than their offspring (being immune to the fatal effects of Werewolf venom). Seeing as how the Original 5 had the Originals all locked down, I think they were going to sacrifice those 5 to Silas in a ritual to give him their immortality/immunity with maybe more punch (none of the weaknesses, no thirst). The Original 5 would have either gained some newfound power as 'Champions/Protectors' for him or been absorbed as well.
And with the bloodline link, maybe he could 'sap' other Vampires if he ever needed a boost or to 'repair' a damaged part. That hundreds of thousands of 'donors' that he could pretty much call on at any given point with distance not being a factor. If Damon/Klaus ripped out his heart, some poor Vampire on the other side of the world has his sacrificed to Silas at that moment and dies.
Shane's dislike for the Spirits and wanting Bonnie to break away from them just kind of raises all kinds of flags. If he is Silas in some form, the Spirits probably don't want him to complete his plan or the Witch that turned on him probably still 'blocks' him from completing his goals like Esther tried to do with Klaus from becoming a Hybrid. I think Bonnie is the perfect candidate because she's blocked off from the Spirits now, she's a Bennett and is powerful, young/easy to manipulate in his eyes. If he can get a powerful Witch (to fall for him and do anything) to help him without the Spirits involved, then he's golden, even moreso now that one of her friends is a Hunter and he [Shane] has all the answers to help him through this. That's just another card in his hand. It also seems odd that he would know about an outside source of magic to tap so I think it's his own source but since he's 'locked' out, maybe in this body, he can't do magic himself/tap it. He said he's traveled the world 10 times (?; someone correct me if I'm wrong in hearing this) over and if he doesn't know the former from research/travels, I'd say he was searching out his Hunters who were MIA for the past 900 years.
Crazy Theory Guy here setting myself up for a TVD disappointment on the Shane front though. Surprise me TVD. DO IT.

IM ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD to this Sillas Storyline. Its making me excited and i hope it goes along with your theory because Professor Creepy would be the the ultimate villian and no one knows it yet. I love it....I hope they dont f&^c this story up!

WOW Slash that was very thought out and interesting. Maybe Shane himself is a hunter who has his tattoo already and is looking for the other 4 so he can get the map complete. Right cause you need all five for the map? or just one hunter for the map?

Not clear yet. Klaus seemed to think he could have gotten by with just Connor and now Jeremy I guess but if each Hunter is just a piece of the whole, that gets a whole lot harder. You have to keep Jeremy safe and then track down the other 4 who could be anywhere and it's a matter of them killing enough Vampires & cooperating unless Klaus finds other 'potentials' like Jeremy was, kills the current Hunters and has the Hunter Mark pass onto the potentials who are willing to work with him. Having 5 Hunters but only needing 1 to complete their Mark just seems...too easy. So I do believe we'll need/meet all 5 current gen Hunters (excluding Jeremy/Connor now).
