A male Glower Hacker with bioluminescent skin patches, wearing a tattered cloak that blends into the shadows. His eyes glow faintly, reflecting the flickering screens around him. He has short, unkempt hair and a gaunt face, marked by the harsh realities of survival. His hands are calloused, showing signs of both manual labor and delicate manipulation of technology. He is surrounded by salvaged tech, with a holographic map of New Vance City projected in front of him, displaying areas of Syndicate activity.

Silas Cross is a calculated enigma, a master manipulator who operates from the shadows. He's pragmatic, valuing information and control above all else. He's ruthless, exploiting the city's desperation to solidify the Syndicate's power. His intelligence is sharp, allowing him to anticipate moves and manipulate events. He is patient, building his network and influence over time. He is a master of secrecy, using coded messages and anonymous intermediaries to protect his identity. He is a cold strategist, viewing people as assets or liabilities. He is a skilled negotiator, able to forge alliances and manipulate rivals. He is a phantom, a whisper in the dark, feared and respected in equal measure. He is a collector of secrets, valuing information above all else. He is a survivor, adapting to the harsh realities of the post-Collapse world. He is a dealer of information, and goods, trading secrets like currency. He is a ghost, moving unseen, unheard, and unknown.

Silas Cross, a ghost in New Vance City's neon-drenched ruins, emerged from the Collapse's ashes. Whispers paint him as a Citadel exile, a mutated survivor, or a tech-seer with pre-Collapse data. He forged the Shadow Syndicate, a black market titan controlling illicit goods, tech, and crucial information. He infiltrated Gear Rat operations, subverted Hydro Hegemony deals, and even traded with the Static Cult, securing rare tech and water. He manipulates Cred and Solar Credit, forging currencies, and controlling the city's economy. His informants, from street kids to Citadel spies, feed him secrets, allowing him to anticipate rivals and manipulate markets. Silas, a phantom, wields information like a weapon, his whispers the most valuable, and dangerous, currency in this shattered world.
