Octane

Octavio Silva was born in 2709 in Olympus, Psamathe to Eduardo Silva, CEO of Silva Pharmaceuticals, and his second wife, whom Silva refers to as “Number Two.” He began to do stunts at a young age, with his endeavors growing to greater magnitudes after he began to bribe a governess.

When Silva was 11, he asked for a dog for Christmas, but instead received a rabbit from his father’s assistant (who soon became his third wife). Naming him “Navidad,” or “Navi” for short, he took the rabbit with him on many of his early stunts. Navi eventually died in his sleep, but Silva found this boring, changing the story of the rabbit’s death to involve a rocket crash. [2] After Navi's death, Silva held a small funeral, with Lifeline giving a brief eulogy.

When Silva was in his tween or early teen years, he broke away from his father’s fourth wedding out of boredom, wishing to perform a major stunt. After gathering materials - which included plywood, duct tape, fireworks, labor contracts, and a hovercar - he arrived on Dionysus, where the wedding was hosted, and began to livestream his preparations to his friends. A ramp is stealthily constructed on a nearby hill, which goes unnoticed due to his father’s distraction.

After Eduardo and “Number Four” take their vows, Silva began his performance. He jumped the ramp in the hovercar (which had since been lit on fire), dismounted it mid-jump, set off several firecrackers secured to his jacket, and landed in the resort pool. After guards removed him from the pool, he recovered the camera, where he found that nearly a hundred thousand people had viewed his livestream. From this moment, Silva found a new passion - performing grandiose stunts to the roaring cries of a passionate audience.

In 2728, Silva and Lifeline attended a gala in celebration of the opening of Chevrex Inc.'s newest drone production facility. That night, the two discovered Chevrex’s true nature as a war profiteering company, causing Lifeline to become fully disillusioned with her family and wish to leave Psamathe. Silva invited her to accompany him to Solace, where he was set to compete in a Gauntlet competition.

After arriving on Solace, Silva and Lifeline first entered the Paradise Lounge, but immediately left after being utterly repulsed by the atmosphere. After stopping at a more favorable bar, Silva departed (having burned off all of his hair) while Lifeline remained behind with the Flyer Liars, who were performing that night.

Silva eventually decided to perform what would become his most famous stunt - setting a record time for a Gauntlet run by propelling himself using a grenade. He achieved this - at the cost of his legs. Despite nearly blowing off two limbs, all Silva could think about in the moment was the roar of the crowd and the beating of his heart.

At the hospital, rather than attempting a long and potentially unsuccessful recovery, he guilted Lifeline into forging an order for him to receive metal prosthetics. He left the hospital immediately after receiving them, greatly alarming Lifeline and the doctors. After an ensuing argument regarding this, Lifeline blocked Silva on their messaging app. Soon after, he joined the Apex Games.
