| ~ Silco to Deckard. |
Silco is the main antagonist of Riot Games' 2021 animated series Arcane, which is set in the League of Legends universe. He is a powerful Zaunite crime lord that operates in an underwater aquarium base located beneath an abandoned section of Piltover's docks. He seeks to make Zaun rise up against Piltover, and have partnered with Singed to develop the empowering substance "Shimmer". He was once close to Vander, but the two separated after having a falling-out. He later gains power and becomes the de facto ruler of Zaun.
He is voiced by Jason Spisak, who also voiced Vladimir in Legends of Runeterra, Jason Dante in Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Vulpes Inculta in Fallout: New Vegas, Silas in The Vampire Diaries, Silico and Packrat in the 2016 Powerpuff Girls series, Oswald Cobblepot in Telltale's Batman, Scorpion in Marvel's Spider-Man, Deag Ranak in Doom: Eternal, and Joker in Batman: Hush.
Appearance
Silco is a thin middle-aged man with dark hair and heavy scarring on the left side of his face. He has a prosthetic eye due to his original eye getting infected in the past, and he wears a Piltovan-style three-piece suit.
Personality
Silco is a callous and ruthless man who will do anything to achieve his goals. He believes the only way to unite Piltover and Zaun is through a bloody conflict, 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.
Despite all this, he has shown to have some level of compassion, as he embraced and took in the distraught and traumatized Powder after noticing the similarities between the young girl and his past self.
Biography
Early life
Silco grew up in poverty in Zaun alongside Vander who he came to see as a brother. He attained a dream to one day unite Piltover and Zaun, even if it would mean war. This caused fraction between him and Vander and lead to the latter attempting to drown him. Silco managed to survive, but lost his left eye and was heavily scarred as a result. In the years afterwards, he built up a large criminal network in Zaun.
Arcane
Welcome To The Playground
Silco is first seen reprimanding his underling Deckard for unnecessarily causing trouble on the surface. He then approaches Singed about a deadline for The Shimmer who then assures it's almost ready. Singed uses a cat and a mouse as test subjects, and even though the mouse starts off being scared, once it's injected with Shimmer it easily overpowers and kills the cat. Silco is impressed by the results, and then offers to have it used on Deckard.
Some Mysteries Are Better Left Unsolved
Silco meets with Piltover Warden Marcus to discuss a plan to capture Vander. Later, he talks to Deckard about his philosophy, and manipulates him into consuming Shimmer.
The Base Violence Necessary For Change
Just as Vander is about to be taken into custody by officers Grayson and Marcus, Silco interrupt the scene with a simmered-up Deckard who kills Grayson and Benzo. He spares Marcus' life and throws him a coin purse as consolation, before leaving with Vander and Grayson.
After having taken Vander to his base, he talks to Vander and reminiscences about their past before having him dragged away and tied to a chair. After Vi, Mylo, and Claggor enters the building to rescue Vander, he orders his underlings to eliminate them, but Vi manages to take them out. He then has Deckard injected with The Simmer once again, who manages to overpower Vi. At the same time Powder had made her way to the base despite being instructed not to do so. She detonates an explosive laced with three hextech crystals, which causes a massive explosion.
He is saved just in time by Sevika who manages to push him out of the way of the explosion at the cost of her arm. As Decker prepares to eliminate the intruders, Vander manages to rise from the rubble and engages in combat with Deckard, who manages to overpower him. Just as he's about to stand up again, he is stabbed by Silco who makes him fall off the balcony.
Vander quickly returns, however, as he injected Simmer into himself and assumes a monstrous form. He manages to finish off Deckard and is just about to pursue Silco when he notices Vi is heavily injured and has trouble moving. Vander then chooses to save Vi instead, and manages to do so but collapses and dies outside of the building. Silco successfully escaped the building with his remaining lackeys, and stumbles upon Powder who is having an emotional breakdown after believing she had been abandoned by her sister. Silco empathizes with the young girl as he had also been betrayed in the past by a sibling, and he then embraces her and takes her in.
During the timeskip
In the wake of Vander's apparent death, Silco becomes the de facto ruler of Zaun and takes over The Last Drop and makes it his base of operations. He raises Powderlike his own daughter, makes her adopt the name "Jinx", and trains her to become an efficient operative and killer.
Happy Progress Day
On Progress Day, Silco is discussing the Firelights attacks on his smuggling operation with Sevika. Sevika is frustrated about Jinx losing control and causing unnecessary casualties and destruction, but Silco merely blames Sevika for failing to make sure things went smoothly and dismissses her.

It turns out that Jinx had been listening to the conversation from the rafters, and she drops down and talks about her traumatic relapse to him. He falsely reminds her that her sister is dead, and that she should move one. While displeased with the financial loss, he nevertheless is sympathetic about Jinx's trauma and tells her to take some time off to focus on her gadgetry.
