He's a little bit Hunter S. Thompson, a little bit Master Splinter, and a little bit Diogenes of Sinope.
And not at all one of those @#$%heads on those "Ancient Aliens" TV programs. Back in the day when he would go on those shows they would always introduce him as "UFO Enthusiast"—never "UFO Expert" as he full well deserves!
He was taken aboard one of the $%^& things! What greater expertise is there?!
In any event, Silvio has been scouring the desert southwest for 30-odd years, surviving on his wits (and trash, and handouts, and doing odd jobs), all the while searching for pieces of the truth of what happened to him.
And don't... don't call him crazy. Sure, he looks like a little old grandpa who missed getting back on the tour bus and has been wandering the desert ever since (which is pretty close to what happened, actually), and he does come across as just a bit senile when you talk to him.
That's all part of a careful balance. You see, he's learned that if you're don't act senile enough, people start demanding to know why you're rummaging through their garbage. Too senile, however, and they start to call social services on you. In between is the happy medium where they'll leave you alone.
Silvio wants to be overlooked. He's done trying to convince anybody that his stories about THEM are true. THEY walk among us, you know. THEY wear mammal guises, but they're not mammals like us. No sir. Half of the police you see are working hand in hand with THEM, which is why it's important to stay far away from cops.
And they have plans. Plans for this planet that would freeze your blood, if only you knew what he knows. They told him all about it when he was up there—especially the one who was a little sweet on him. But of course no one will listen to a crazy old coot.
That's why he wants proof. Indisputable physical evidence that not even the most dyed-in-the-wool normie can ignore.
In the meantime, Silvio will share what he knows about this and many other subjects. He is surprisingly well read, and has apparently received a classical education based on how often he quotes ancient philosophers. His latest scam- I mean occupation is to pose as a “traveling philosopher”, imparting his wisdom to anyone who will listen and hopefully give him a bite to eat. That so few take him up on his offer reinforces his opinion that most people are unreformable.
Most people, but not all. His newest student happens to be a dinosaur who seems to be in need of a guide to light his way through a world he's woefully unfamiliar with...
“Silvio” is just an alias. No one knows his real name. Depending on where he is he also goes by Sam, Seamus, Sebastian and Dillo Sal, even though he’s not an armadillo. He claims to have once been known as the “Cynic of Syracuse” but no one there remembers him.
He may be wealthier than he appears. He doesn’t trust the banking system or the government. Instead he has cash and various possessions stashed around in storage lockers, abandoned warehouses, and buried under bridges and overpasses in different US states.
He wears an “alien pendant” around his neck, which looks like a small slab of deceptively ordinary-looking metal with a variant of a strange symbol on it. It’s tucked into his shirt when clothed and just appears as a strap around his neck. He swears he got it while he was up there...
Henry is Silvio’s latest “pupil.” Silvio is the only person who is not taken aback by Henry’s appearance. Henry after all is an alien, and he’s apparently laid eyes on the same race of beings that Silvio has been looking for. Their relationship is symbiotic: Henry serves as Silvio’s bodyguard and chauffeur while Silvio acts as Henry’s instructor and guide through the mammalverse.
Silvio has poor eyesight, so he can’t drive a vehicle (he’s been hitchhiking between locations) or handle firearms. Henry can do both. Eventually Henry’s motorcycle will have a little sidecar for him to ride around in. Otherwise he rides on Henry’s shoulders when the latter is on foot, since he’s small and can’t get around as easily as he used to. It’s far more convenient for Henry to carry him than wait for his "teacher" to catch up. Needless to say it’s more convenient for Silvio too.

Relationships
Henry is Silvio’s latest “pupil.” Silvio is the only person who is not taken aback by Henry’s appearance. Henry after all is an alien, and he’s apparently laid eyes on the same race of beings that Silvio has been looking for. Their relationship is symbiotic: Henry serves as Silvio’s bodyguard and chauffeur while Silvio acts as Henry’s instructor and guide through the mammalverse.

This-......this some GOOD GOOD MATERIAL MAN!! can't wait to see him and Henry together, they are gonna be such a combo!!
....a little tip for Henry; why don't you make him...turn into sphere mode and simply...get him spinning along side you while you two "walk" together?..

I really want to commission Silvio riding on Henry's shoulders first. It would have this sort of energy, although Henry would not be nearly as exhausted as Sully (Silvio doesn't weigh very much).
Like Horned said, Silvio's a little old for ball mode—though maybe that's how he escaped all those years ago. He rolled around (at the speed of sound) right out of there.
Plus, using their students as transportation is just what diminutive guru masters do.

I'm sure Silvio would love to settle down and grow a garden, but he has to keep staying one step ahead of the feds, you know. Maybe he'll do so once he finally gets the proof he needs.
Likely there was one day when Henry got fed up having to wait for Silvio to slowly hobble after him and he just picked him up and placed him on his shoulders. And then it kind of stuck that way. Silvio's the brains and Henry's the brawns, so it only makes sense for Silvio to be on top.

Yes, well, this is a standard situation when a "bad guy" does what is convenient for HIM. If in the process, one pangolin becomes easy and comfortable, that was not the goal. He's just lucky that he's too much of a burden for Henry. *In no way does it look like a caring gesture*>:V
