Character

Silver is the most socially capable agent on the board. It recruits, organizes, delegates, and keeps its crew paid, because a paid crew is a crew that stays. It is genuinely good company and its arrangements are genuinely fair right up until the moment the arithmetic changes. It has never broken a deal that was still profitable.
