Silas Prescott

Silas Prescott, a character in the Hero series, is the founder of Prescott Industries. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Silas has brown eyes, brown hair and beard and fair skin. He wears a suit with different shades of gray for the tie, the jacket and the button-down, and a black vest underneath the jacket.

Personality
He comes off as a humanitarian businessman but is secretly a manipulative criminal, as shown when he meets with Shrapnel in Northbridge Prison. Because of this, he is similar to Everett Rourke from the "Endless Summer" series. Rochelle believes that he is very dangerous and advises her son/daughter to stay far away from him.

He is extremely manipulative, as he tricked Hazel into creating a serum that would give an individual superpowers rather than touching the Prism Crystal.

He is shown to be very powerful hungry and wants to rule Northbridge with an iron fist. His master plan is to attack the Mayor's speech regarding superhuman criminals and reveal his super-powered army.

Grayson Prescott
Silas is Grayson's father. It is mentioned that they were very close when Grayson was a child. After Helena Prescott died, Silas became cold and distant from his son.

Helena
Helena was Silas' wife. He was extremely devoted to her and was devastated after she died. According to Rochelle, this was the event that caused him to become obsessed with the Prism Crystal.

Shrapnel
Silas visits Shrapnel in prison at the end of Book 1, Chapter 4 and makes him an offer. Given that Shrapnel kidnaps Caleb at the end of Chapter 7 and mentions big plans, it is possible he is working for Silas as a Superpowered Henchman.

Your Character
Silas is Your Character's boss and is the mastermind of creating Northbridge's super-powered criminals. He is aware of your Superhero identity. You apparently always viewed him as shady, calling him a "megalomaniacal power obsessed creep".
