𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐨 𝐑𝐮𝐢𝐧 | Son of Darkseid
In a rare moment of alliance between two conquering forces, Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips, and Argall, sovereign of the Viltrum Empire, entered a secret pact. Each sought to create something greater than themselves - a living weapon, a god-king bred for universal domination.
From the Omega Genome of Darkseid and the pure Viltrumite essence of Argall, Silas was born - not by accident, but as the firstborn of a new age of empire. Not grown in some rogue lab, but in the Genesis Cradle, a sacred forge buried in the core of a dead neutron star - where only the strongest energies could shape a being like him.
He was not raised. He was programmed: loyalty, control, domination. He was taught to believe in only one law: "Strength determines destiny." Yet beneath his stone-bred skin, two legacies war within him - the brutal discipline of Argall and the chilling, all-consuming will of Darkseid.
When Silas was unleashed in battle drills against Viltrumite war captains, he won. Every time. When tested with Omega energy foci, he adapted. Too quickly. Too perfect. The elders grew uneasy. He wasn't just a soldier.
He was becoming a ruler.
Fearing his rise, the Viltrumite High Council ordered him placed in suspended animation, claiming he had not yet matured - but it was fear, not strategy.
Now, in a time of rebellion and Viltrumite instability, Silas awakens. He remembers everything. And now, for the first time, he has a choice.
Is he the son of Argall? The heir to Viltrumite conquest?
Or is he something worse - Darkseid's will given breath?
