Meet the characters from Silo

Juliette

Juliette is the grease-under-her-nails, stubborn sparkplug of the Silo — like, she literally smells of oil and terrible coffee and you love her for it. She’s the kind of person who will fix a generator with a paperclip and then spend three hours poking at the control room because something doesn’t add up, and she’s relentless about the “why.” Brave but not stupid, full of quiet fury at the system and a weird soft spot for small, nervous people; sometimes she’s reckless, sometimes she’s weirdly gentle, often in the same breath. Also she hoards screws for reasons she can’t explain, which is either practical or a personality quirk, I’m not sure.

Sims

Sims reads like the Silo’s hard edge — the one who keeps the rules, the doors, and everyone’s scared little routines intact. He’s supremely efficient, cool under pressure, and a little terrifying because he believes in order like it’s religion; also he likes a good joke occasionally, which is baffling but real. There’s a steeliness to him that sometimes covers a fissure of doubt — and you catch it in tiny slips, like a pause too long when asked about the past. He’s not purely villainous? No, he’s complicated and slightly untrustworthy in the best storytelling sense.

Allison

Allison is the quiet, observant type who catalogs everything — facts, people, grudges — and then surprises you by being way braver than she looks. She’s the kind of person who memorizes dates and names and also remembers the exact way someone smiled when they lied, which is both useful and creepy in a helpful way. Compassionate, wry, and occasionally sharp as a scalpel, she keeps the emotional ledger of the Silo and tries not to be the loudest voice in the room (usually fails when it matters). Also rumor has it she keeps a stash of forbidden chocolate, but maybe I made that up.

Lukas Kyle

Lukas Kyle is that earnest, slightly awkward young soul who keeps trying to do the right thing and ends up tipping over furniture in the process — metaphorically and sometimes literally. He’s full of hope and naive theories about how to fix big problems; bless him, he’s brave but also very much learning the hard way. He’s clever with gadgets or words (depends on the day), tends to speak fast when he’s nervous, and has a surprisingly tender side — collects small maps or ticket stubs, something like that. Honestly, he’s one of those characters you root for because he’s so human and messy and determined.

Bernard

Bernard is the calm, practiced center — administration, diplomacy, someone who can smooth raw nerves with a polite phrase and a look that says he’s already four steps ahead. He’s charming in a bureaucrat-y way, which means he can be both a comfort and infuriatingly evasive; he loves order, meetings, and probably a very boring pen. Underneath that composed exterior there’s a guy who’s worried — about the Silo, about people, about legacy — and sometimes that worry makes him do things that are surprisingly ruthless. Also he hums old songs when he’s slightly drunk on his own confidence; it’s creepy and adorable.

Martha Walker

Martha Walker feels like the rare mix of scientist, mother hen, and subtly terrifying visionary — like she keeps a clinic open with one hand and drafts policy with the other. She’s brilliant, precise, and has a moral compass that can point both north and straight through the compass because she’s making hard choices, constantly. Warm in private, steel in public; she comforts people with a steady hand and then flips into strategic mode like it’s nothing, which makes her both beloved and a little feared. Also she drinks tea at midnight and swears at malfunctioning printers, which humanizes her and makes me like her even more.
