Failed ruler of Arynare, replaced by Verne Lector
Silverberg was Gordon van Cleef's partner when they started life as single-ship belters in 1032. He helped van Cleef in the war that freed Voronis, but afterwards relocated to Arynare to start a colony - most of Arynare's belters had died in the war. Unlike van Cleef, he set himself up as sole ruler, and this proved a mistake. His governmental skills were not equal to his ex-partner's, and he was unseated by an alliance of belter captains in 1102. Sadly, their leader Verne Lector is no better, perhaps even worse.
