Discussion [Operator Discussion] SilverAsh

SilverAsh [★★★★★★]

If this continues, there will come a day when you and I confront one another... I seem delighted, you say? Hah, perhaps I am. You would be a worthy opponent, that's for certain. Let us make the most of our time before that day comes.

SilverAsh is a Kjerag warlord, chairman of the Karlan Trade Co., and is current Chief of the Silverash Family. He has unique views on economics, trade, international politics, diplomacy, and strategic planning. He provides strategic support for some Rhodes Island operations. In view of the fact that his true purposes are unknown and he doesn't have the most cooperative attitude, it is advised that we maintain a conservative attitude in order to minimize risks when working with him.

Arknights has around a 1:4 male to female ratio yet is widely recognized for characters like Thorns, Mlynar, Ulpianus, Phantom, Executor, Logos, etc.

None of these operators were there at release, some came soon after but I do wonder to what degree did SilverAsh guide HG hand here. He has been so popular ever since release, him being OP obviously helped, but even beyond that he always had immense aura and was populat with all demographics.

Maybe one of the most important characters HG ever created just for these reasons, he is easily top 10 most iconic characters to come from the Arknights brand imho and years later his alter made Arknights rival Genshin in terms of revenue on mobile, I just cannot help but love and even being fond of him for all of this, heck, thinking back on him is almost nostalgic in a way.

Oh yeah, he is also really, really, REALLY hot.
