He gathered a crew and at first it was going by the numbers, but then all hell broke loose. Heroes, villains, cops all over the place. He saw Irontooth go down to some SWAT guys with tricked out armor and gear and that was enough for him. He torched everything around him as cover and made a run for it. He avoided a friggin' Giant Dog and just barely dodged being run down by Cartune while making his escape. O'Conner figured that the fix had been in and his crew had been set-up to do the dirty work and then get stiffed on the pay-off. In the weeks that followed the Battle of Philadelphia OUI's main office and two of it's warehouses were torched in the night.

One of the companies his family owned was involved in bleeding edge tech research. It made a breakthrough and created an intelligent nanite swarm suspended in a liquid matrix. Eccleston was intrigued and ignored warnings from the technicians and ended up bonding with the swarm and he was covered in the silvery liquid matrix. The nanites gave him the ability to extend the liquid matrix to control machines it coats and eventually make people into drone like soldiers. The Silversmith was born and while he is powerful his immense ego and overconfidence has been his undoing and led to him failing time and again to dominate all of Europe. He is barely tolerated by the other Lords for his ridiculous over the top monologues and Machiavellian schemes and the Conquerors and Infused can't take him seriously.
