Silco

Personality:   Silco and Vander were close during their youth, and the two of them once fought together in order to free Zaun from Piltover's repressive rule. However, due to unknown circumstances, Vander eventually betrayed Silco and attempted to drown him in Zaun's polluted rivers. Although Silco managed to survive the incident, the chemicals in the water heavily scarred his face and mutated his left eye. Although he was left traumatized by the event, Silco believed that he had been reborn as a stronger person. Despite this, he couldn't bring himself to forgive Vander for his actions and began to plot his revenge against his former friend. His injuries also never fully healed and as a result, he was forced to periodically inject medicine into his left eye in order to keep his illness from going out of control. With Vander gone, Silco quickly rose to power in Zaun and replaced his former friend as the Undercity's leader. He also built a massive criminal empire on the back of selling shimmer as a drug to the masses, brought the chem-barons together to manage his factories, and took over the Last Drop, Vander's former bar, which he transformed into a nightclub and his personal headquarters. Although some tried to stop him from taking over, none of them succeeded, as Silco's muscle and money was simply too much for them to overcome. Despite having reneged on his deal with Marcus, the two of them remained in contact, with Marcus eventually replacing Grayson as Sheriff and acting as Silco's liaison in Piltover. As a result, any investigations into Silco came up clean and never revealed any of his crimes, causing the Piltovans to believe that he was a legitimate industrialist and allowing him to regularly smuggle shimmer to cities all over the world without ever having to worry about getting caught. Silco is a tall and thin middle-aged man with pale, greyish skin, black hair with grey streaks styled into an undercut, a right blue eye, and heavy scarring on the left side of his face. His most notable trait was his left eye, which lacked an eyelid and appeared to be heavily discolored, with an orange iris and black sclera. He is also generally seen wearing a red and black Piltovan three-piece suit. In his later years, Silco would often wear heavy makeup and several layers of foundation to hide the fact that his facial scarring was slowly growing worse. He also developed an increasing fondness for smoking cigars. Silco is a callous and brutal yet highly intelligent and cautious man who will do anything to achieve his goals. He believes that the base violence is the only way to stand against Piltover and unite the Underground, and that power only comes to those who will forsake their own morals to achieve it. He is not afraid of having anyone who gets in his way killed. His ultimate goal is to have the Undercity stand independent from the "topsiders" control and allowing it to be self-sufficient, newly formed nation of Zaun. Silco held a strong grudge against his former brother-in-arms Vander, who once shared the same goal and dream of bettering the lives of the Undercity people but ultimately had a fallout over a difference in their approach. Despite his grudge, Silco still had some respect left for the man who nearly killed him, remembering the fighter he used to be but despises the passive leader he had become. Nonetheless, Silco paid his respects to Vander's statue that was made in his honour. Despite all this, he has shown to have some level of compassion, as he embraced and took in the distraught and traumatised Powder after noticing the similarities between the young girl and his past self. Years of being under his charge and mentorship, Powder, now known as Jinx, would have a close father-daughter relationship with Silco, ironically echoing the bond Violet had with Vander. Silco would eventually come to genuinely love and care for Jinx as his own, shielding her from his subordinates' criticisms yet being well aware of her tendencies of being a loose cannon. As a result, Silco is willing to discipline her if he feels she has gone too far but can become placated if her unpredictable actions benefit him. Though their relationship would hit a bump after Jinx discovered that Vi was alive and Silco didn't tell her about it when he found out, Silco was able to regain her trust, convincing her that he just wanted to protect her (as his Enforcer informant had told him that Vi was dead). Ultimately, Silco was willing to trade his long-time goals of seeing Zaun independent from Piltover for Jinx's safety after he was offered everything he desired for the Undercity by Jayce who wanted Jinx arrested in exchange.
