Who is Silja in Dark?
Silja in Dark is a member of the band of survivors. In 2052, she is seen roaming the forests outside the ruins of what used to be Winden in prudence. She is serving as the interpreter for the deaf leader Elisabeth Doppler, as she knows sign language. Silja in Dark becomes one of the first people whom Jonas Kahnwald encounters when he arrives in 2052. She is the young girl with dark hair who says, “Welcome to the future” and then knocks him unconscious. Silja is also seen holding her rifle in the Sic Mundus family portrait wall.
Dark Family Tree: Silja in Dark
Silja was conceived as the illegitimate child of Egon Tiedemann and Hannah Kahnwald in 1954. Hannah initially sought to abort her but got cold feet at the last moment. From 1954, Hannah travels to 1987 and gives birth to Silja Tiedemann in 1988.
When Silja in Dark was only 5, Hannah travels back to 1911 with her, so that Silja Tiedemann could be with her half brother Adam. Adam does not appreciate the unexpected and uncalled for the arrival of his new guests. He suffocates Hannah and separates the 5-year-old Silja Tiedemann from her. Finally, Silja in Dark is taken to 2041 to be raised by Elisabeth Doppler.
Elisabeth restricts everyone from entering the walled-off restricted zone of the power plant. When Jonas meets Silja Tiedemann, he quickly realises that she has become influenced by the ideology of Sic Mundus, and is waiting for the day the mysterious passage will reopen and take her to paradise. When Jonas is caught breaching the rule in 2053, Silja in Dark helps him to escape. But her help comes with a price. Silja Tiedemann demands that Jonas take her to the ruins and show her what lies there.
