[Silco hadn't yet been present for one of the calamities that befell this place, but he had been informed of them. That wasn't usual though because cities were fraught with dangers internally and externally, so he considered himself experienced on the matters of personal danger. It was rare though that proactive mitigation factors were put in place when it came to a geopolitical scale where he was from.

He was not a fighter in the physical sense, though he could defend himself. No, his weapon was the word and being able to inspire people of the Undercity.

Most also respected him, given how untame the Undercity was, and it took a certain drive to drag a whole city into the light.
