Appearance
Da Silva is described by Archie Curtis in chapter one of Think of England:"'Curtis looked at the gentleman indicated and decided on the spot that he'd rarely seen a more dislikable man. He was about Curtis's age and just a few inches shorter, close to six foot, but with nothing of his own bulk. A slender, willowy sort, and very dark, with sleek and glossy black hair, brilliantined to within an inch of its life, and eyes of such a deep shade that it was near impossible to tell pupil from iris. His skin was olive-tinted against his white shirt. In fact, he was quite obviously some kind of foreigner.""A foreigner and a dandy, because while his shirt was impeccable and the tailcoat ad tapering trousers cut to perfection, he was wearing a huge green glass ring and, Curtis saw with dawning horror, a bright green flower in his buttonhole.'"

Birth year
He is mentioned to be "about Curtis's age" putting his birth year in the early 1870s.
