Silco was one of the most important characters in Arcaneboth for Jinx and the entire underground city beneath Piltover. From the entire cast of Arcanefew characters have had a more direct effect on the series than Silco. Before the events of Arcane In the first season, Silco considered himself Vander’s brother, and the two led a doomed revolution against Piltover that ended with Vander betraying Silco. Silco continued his plan to secure the underground city’s independence, this time going directly against Vander. Silco managed to kill his brother, and after the battle, he adopted Powder as his own daughter.
Years later, Silco became a drug kingpin in the lower city and the main supplier of Shimmer, the substance that transformed its users into powerful monsters. With Jinx (formerly Powder) and Sevika, he further corrupted the underground city and attacked the people Vander once protected. Although he subjected the underground city to unprecedented suffering, Silco had a single goal in mind: Piltover’s independence. Everything he did was part of a years-long plan to free himself from Piltover’s aristocracy, but Silco never saw his goal come to fruition.
Jinx killed Silco at the end of Arcane Season 1
Jinx thought Silco would betray her to protect the nation of Zaun
Despite his importance to the underground city and his ability to survive, Silco died at the end of Arcane season 1. Silco approached Jayce and gave his list of demands to end the hostility between Piltover and the underground city. Jayce agreed, but demanded that Silco give up Jinx so she could be punished for her crimes. Jinx overheard Silco talking about the situation and kidnapped him, eventually bringing him to the same table as Vi and Caitlin to discuss whether she would continue being Jinx or return to being Powder. Silco took Jinx’s gun and, during a psychotic episode, Jinx shot him.
After Jinx shot Silco, he revealed that he never considered turning Jinx over to the Enforcers. An important part of Silco’s story was the pain he felt over Vander’s betrayal, and one of the biggest reasons he was able to manipulate Jinx was because he constantly reassured her that he would never turn against her.

Is Silco in League Of Legends? What happens to him?
Silco was never added to League Of Legends
Despite both Arcanepopularity of Silco and Silco, it was never added League of Legends as a playable champion, and probably never will be. Riot Games’ lead champion producer, Ryan Mireles, better known as Reav3, confirmed that Silco would not be coming League of Legends for two gameplay reasons (through Reddit). The first reason was its indistinct silhouette, which is important because as a top-down MMO, League of Legends You need all of your characters to be instantly identifiable so all players know what they’re up against. It would be difficult to distinguish Silco from other fine champions.
The other reason Silco won’t come League of Legends It’s because of your combat skills. All other champions in League of Legends has unique combat abilities or a clear source of magical power. For example, both Jayce and Vi have their Hextech weapons, which is the reason they can compete with other extremely powerful champions. Silco’s main power was manipulation, not something that would let him compete with champions like Malphite, who is essentially a rock monster.. Reav3 noted that to get Silco into League of Legends would require significant changes that would make the champion significantly different from his Arcane character.
