Cool.
Name: Josh Osouya, Sileo Nex (Translates to Latin: Silent Death)
Age: ??? (Unknown, looks to be in his late 30's/early 40's.)
Gender: Male
City: Opelucid City
Appearance: Sileo wears a pitch black suit with black dress pants, and black suede shoes. His face is covered by the shadow of his (also black) bowler hat. Sileo is almost invisible in the shadows, which seem to almost bend to his will.
History: Ever since Sileo had been a child, he had been fascinated with darkness. Why was there absolutely no light at night? Why didn't people simply live with light all the time, real or artificial? Sileo came to the conclusion that humans were universally afraid of the dark, but that they were even more afraid of a life without darkness. As a teenager in school, he used and manipulated darkness to get what he wanted. However, he soon grew bored of school and it's simplicity, so he started to skip his classes in favour of doing his own experiments in the school basement. Even Pokemon didn't interest him much - to him they were merely tools to be used and exploited. The shadows, with their limitless darkness, enthralled Sileo, and soon he stopped bothering to even go home. At age 16, he changed his name (Josh Osouya at the time) to Sileo Nex, and his appearance, and began his life of manipulation and deceit. Josh Osouya was missing, presumed dead, and Sileo Nex slowly took over the city. Team Plasma eventually found out who was pulling the strings in Opelucid City, and recruited Sileo, who no longer cared about his age but looked to be around 30. Sileo was reluctant to join, but decided that he could have even more power as part of Team Plasma, and accepted the offer. However, very few people know it is he who rules Opelucid City, since the mayor is still "officially" in charge.
How they rule (are they unfair? Tax everyone? etc): Rather than flaunt his power, Sileo rules quietly and deceptively, manipulating people to get what he wants. If there is a particularly outspoken person saying the wrong things, Sileo will turn him against the city, against even his own family. Uprisings are dealt with easily and brutally, by simply having an assassin deal with those who are organizing the uprising. However, that is not to say that Sileo approves of theives and crooks; anyone who commits a crime such as murder or blatant thievery (without his permission, that is) seems to just disappear... never to be seen again.
