Ryan Silver was a human child residing in Grants Pass, Oregon, where Eve began her creation of the Jefferson Starships. He was the younger brother of Joe Silver. He was later turned as Eve's first perfected Jefferson Starship.
Biography
Ryan, along with his elder brother Joe, was orphaned and captured by Eve's Jefferson Starships. After being saved by Sam and Dean Winchester, Ryan and his brother were subjected to multiple tests by the hunters to verify their humanity. Deeming the young boys to be human, the Winchesters promised to accompany Ryan and Joe to their surviving relative.
After a long drive, Ryan was finally taken in by his uncle. However, unbeknownst to the hunters, Joe and the children's uncle, Ryan was actually turned by Eve into the perfected form of the Jefferson Starship. A few moments after the hunters left, Ryan became aggressive and attacked his brother, turning him into another Jefferson Starship in the process. Joe turned in a matter of minutes and joined his brother in attacking their uncle.

Eve planned Ryan to start infecting the whole town, but Crowley and his demons managed to track Ryan. They killed Ryan and his brother and uncle before they could turn other humans into Jefferson Starships.
