Arcane recently dropped Season 2, bringing back most of the OG characters like Jinx, Violet, Caitlyn, Jace, Viktor, and more! The show’s ethos primarily revolves around a classic good versus evil - the Piltovers and the Undercity.
While the show is currently centered on both sides seeking justice after several betrayals and Jinx’s psychotic attack; it all began with Vander and Silco. Season 1 of Arcane explored the dynamic shift in the undercity which first began with Vander and Silco, who were like brothers at the time.
They both had a tough beginning and ruled their part of the town before having a falling out. While their history isn’t entirely explored, the time Vander betrayed Silco was unraveled with great detail.
After Vander’s eyes are opened to the insanity inside Silco’s mind about Zaun - a tainted undercity, the duo is seen in cahoots with each other. In a flashback episode, Vander and Silco were bruised and battered, neither wanting to give up.
When Silco’s attacks grew weaker, Vander proceeded to end his life by choking him and then leaving him to die in the water. What Vander didn’t know was that his once-brother would be back for vengeance with a fury he didn’t quite expect.
Vander proceeded with building a community - the lanes filled with people from the undercity supporting each other in unison. But, not all were on board about the matter as revealed in Season 1.
Before Vander’s death, he does have a conversation with Silco about regretting what he’d done to him saying,
“What I did to you...I've never forgiven myself...."
Sadly, Vander’s apology meant nothing to him since Silco only cared about getting back at Vander and achieving Zaun no matter the cost. He even manipulated Jinx’s relationship with his sister, but failed badly since she turned out to be his biggest downfall.
The end of Season 1 of Arcane saw Jinx end Silco’s life before she proceeded to leave Piltover in ruins. Fans see the lifeless body of Silco in the ending, but is he really gone?

Is Silco alive in Arcane Season 2?
Yes, Silco is alive in Season 2 of Arcane as noted by CBR. Silco has a reputation for springing back from the dead as observed from Season 1. While there’s much more to be unraveled about his return, the first 3 episodes featured the antagonist following each episode's ending - just before the credits roll in.
He was seen heavily injured with his face battered and covered in bandages. As the episodes progressed, he was seen getting rehabilitated by the same doctor who was his partner in crime to propagate the use of Shimmer in the undercity and explore several other uses of it.
While Silco was initially thought to be dead, his return during an already cathartic time of the show could act as a catalyst for further destruction. Moreover, Jinx’s reaction to seeing the one person who cared for him after Vi allegedly abandoned her is a highly anticipated moment in Arcane.
