Revision 1

Overview

Bentham is a playable character in Silver Palace introduced through an official character title page. Her occupation is Secretary and her title is "The Quartz Net". Her official profile identifies her specifically as Secretary of the United Mining Industry board office, usually shortened to UMI, which places her inside the corporate power bloc described in Factions.

Profile

Character

Bentham is presented as a kind and well-mannered professional who holds considerable power behind the scenes, pulling strings rather than exercising authority openly. Her official profile states that her childhood dreams now drive her to ascend ever higher, and adds that the rot of ambition spares nobody, closing with the observation that those who keep marching into the future are never truly innocent at heart.

Her quote makes that ambition explicit: "Could this be the pinnacle of power? Is that all there is? Well then, the question now is, how may I break free of this trivial system?" The framing sets her apart from characters motivated by duty or vengeance, and ties her to the corporate control of the Silverium industry that underpins much of Silvernia's politics.

United Mining Industry

The United Mining Industry is the corporate body Bentham serves. Its appearance in official character material gives a name to the corporate monopolies previously described only in general terms, and connects the mining of Silverium to a specific institution with a board and an executive office. The corporate bloc's leverage over Spinotrodes and the Silverium supply chain is covered in Factions.

Bentham's rarity, class and elemental attribute have not been stated in any official written source and are not documented here until confirmed.
