Silva (シルバ Shiruba) is a fictional character from the Shaman King manga and anime series. One of the Ten Patch Officiants, he was responsible for overseeing Asakura Yoh[3] and "Wooden Sword" Ryu,[4] as well as Tao Ren following Chrom's death.[5] Unlike most of the Patch Priests who just oversee the fights, to make sure they are following the rules, Silva believes that the Patch Priests should intervene more in the fights, to avoid the massive death count fights leads to.
