Pushing our civilisation across the course of human history, the Silence. They sort of look like the painting €œThe Scream€ and have a knack of killing people/aliens/things that try to get in their way by €œdisplacing€ them. They fire a blast which turns their victims into an energy which they then absorb through a mouth-esque depression in the face. They literally suck up the life vapors. It€™s pretty freaky and very grim. These guys stuck on throughout the sixth series and were the background threat behind everything which kept us guessing when and where they€™d show up next. The fact that they basically succeeded in killing the Doctor €“ more or less €“ and that since then the Doctor has been in hiding from them indicates the extent of their power. Don€™t be surprised if these guys show up again. Best Quote: €œYou tend to my wounds. You are foolish.€ Appearances: €œThe Impossible Astronaut€ onwards€
