John Nelson

John Nelson AI Rendition

### Background

Nelson overtook his family’s financial advisory company for wealthy international traders after his parents retirement.  Before long, Nelson found himself taking hefty chunks of money through insider trading and black-market deals that he claimed using investors’ money. Eventually, Gary Silver brought Nelson into SilverCorp and Silver University due to his ability to gain the public's trust despite having dark underlying intentions.

### Torrent Breach

Nelson operates the hologram network during the Board of Directors status report to Gary Silver and when Franklin Curdlan is being evaluated to test the effectiveness of Ascending Dawn. He and Melissa Burton later meet with Jasper Cotterill, a mathematics professor at the university. They present him with a contract to change a student's grade for a large sum of money, but Cotterill had caved once before and refused to do it again. Cotterill is terminated and Nelson has his home filled with killer wasps, taking advantage of a deadly allergy, killing the educator in his own home. Nelson is also present when Natalie Wilson reports her findings about Teddy Silver cheating on his final exam with Greg Malone.

### Subject A01

Nelson and his fellow board members are working on Ascending Dawn in conjunction with Project Cultivation. Getting to know Subject A01 better, Nelson and Burton take Jayden Wright on a a fishing trip in which Nelson must teach Jayden the basics. On the boat, Nelson mentions Geoff Cray and Greg Malone getting into an altercation that opened Jayden's office. Despite the creepy tales from the past, Jayden leaves the trip thinking that he has found an extended family with the Board of Directors.

When Jayden and Taylor Lockhart attempt to sneak out from the underground bunker, Nelson cuts them off under the ruse of being their rideshare driver. Despite his warnings, Nelson allows Jayden and Taylor to investigate the Route 31 Barbecue and Grill, claiming that he wants the student interns to make their own mistakes. While the students are gone, Nelson and Burton meet with Matthew Wilson at his lake house to obtain the 300,000 Torrent Breach microchips that have been designated to be shipped across the United States. Wilson has fears that Teddy Silver may present a problem in distributing the devices and wants the Board of Directors to ensure their technology reaches its target.

Later in the novel, when Malone is supposedly kidnapped, Nelson works alongside Jayden and Christina Dahl to recover the Silver University Chancellor. It can be deduced that Nelson watched Jayden and Taylor operate inside the abandoned asylum, and he is disappointed with what he watched from Jayden. Nelson is outspokenly upset with the student intern, despite his colleagues giving their prodigy some partial credit for his efforts. Despite Nelson's critiques, the Board of Directors opt to move forward with the Subject A01 testing.

To help Jayden take his mind away from the negative media attention, Nelson shoots hoops with him and Malone, reaffirming the boy's faith that he has a position within the board waiting for him once the dust settles. Reaching the climax of Jayden's testing, Nelson must show the students to the Board of Directors underground weapons vault, revealing that every SilverCorp entity is based on the prosperity of violence. Nelson admits that SilverCorp is always prepared for conflict should any threats ever arise.

### Outfits

#### Torrent Breach

1. (*Worn during the Board's meeting with Silver about Ascending Dawn*) Nelson walked into the room with a confident grin on his face, wearing an outfit that fit his personality.  He was wearing a silky deep-sea green polo shirt over his khaki pants, which were held tightly around his waist by a black and slim leather belt, done up with a large silver rectangular buckle.  His rounded-toe black leather dress shoes matched the stiff material of his belt and the watch around his wrist which had a unique octagonal rim and face with all black detailing.
2. (*Worn during the initial test of Ascending Dawn on Franklin Curdlan*) The overlook's bright lightning made Nelson's outfit gleam.  He was wearing a white dress shirt with slim cherry-red pencil vertical stripes detailing his top.  His dress shirt was tucked into a pair of khaki pants that were done up with a crisp brown leather belt that matched the color and material of his sophisticated penny loafers.  His initials were etched into the loafer's heels, and the brown leather watch around his wrist occasionally peeked out from underneath his sleeve, gracing the world with its presence.
3. (*Worn while terminating Jasper Cotterill's position at Silver University*) Nelson was sporting a stone linen suit with domed hickory-colored buttons.  His steel blue dress shirt was sensibly tucked into freshly ironed stone dress pants, held together by an aged hickory leather belt with an iron cast rectangular buckle.  A steel blue tie was neatly tied around his neck, adding a nice touch to his sophisticated look.  Nelson’s sophisticated belt matched his rounded toe dress shoes and thinly banded watch, complete with an iron cast rim around the steel blue face of the accessory.  The fit was completed with a simple hickory shaded tie that solidified the whole look.
4. (*Worn during meeting with Natalie Wilson about Teddy and Jayden's cheating*) Nelson was dressed nicely, even during the hectic finals week hours.  He was wearing an ironed white dress shirt with the buttons neatly done up to the collar.  A red tie was looped around his neck, contrasting his brown slacks.  Around his waist, Nelson was wearing a black leather belt, matching the  rounded-toe black leather dress shoes that were on his feet.  Finishing the look, Nelson was wearing a black leather strapped watch with black hands and detailing.

#### Subject A01

1. (*Worn on luxury boat while on a fishing trip with Jayden Wright*) It was strange for Jayden to see Nelson wearing shorts, but the Silver University Headmaster was sporting a pair of ironed khaki shorts, showing off his toned legs.  Above his shorts, Nelson was wearing an athletic fit orange polo shirt, done up with one singular brown button.  Along his wrist, Nelson had a three-toned silver, bronze, and stainless steel watch that glistened brighter than the afternoon sun.  Nelson brought the fit together with a pair of brown boat shoes, adding the finishing touch to a great summertime look.
2. (*Worn while Silver University is hacked by Joyner's compromised laptop*) Nelson was mostly dressed down during the inconsistent summer hours.  He was sporting a light gray polo shirt with foggy transparent plastic buttons lining the collar.  Nelson was also sporting clean-pressed khaki pants with a dark brown leather belt done up tightly around his waist.  On his feet, Nelson was wearing brown wingtip leather dress shoes with khaki-colored laces and soles, tying his fit together nicely.  Finishing the look, Nelson was wearing a steel watch around his wrist that glimmered in the underground bunker.
3. (*Worn intercepting Jayden and Taylor / Acquiring Torrent Breach microchips*) Nelson looked fantastic, wearing a cotton navy-blue polo shirt with a red stripe running horizontally around his shirt.  The red stripe running around his shirt was detailed with smaller white stripes trimming the red one, adding some detail to his short-sleeved top.  The shirt was untucked, flowing over the waistline of his off-white slacks.  Matching his shirt, Nelson was wearing blue suede boat shoes with off-white lining along the seams and on the soles.  Bringing the whole outfit together, Nelson wore an off-white watch, with the matching design from his shirt along the timepiece's detailed face.
4. (*Worn tracking down Malone's kidnapping location via stream*) Nelson was wearing a white zipper collared shirt, with long sleeves that were rolled over to uncover his forearms.  The silver zipper went about halfway towards the midnight blue collar, which matched the solid color extending down the shirt's sleeves.  The shirt also had a pocket along the right breast that was midnight blue, adding a small detail to the shirt.  To go with the neat shirt, Nelson was wearing dark blue denim jeans that fit comfortably to his body, matching the midnight blue slip-on fabric shoes he was wearing that had unbelievably clean white soles.  Finishing the look, Nelson was wearing watch around his wrist made from the scrap's of an American battleship.
5. (*Worn during Jayden's performance review with Board of Directors*) Nelson looked comfortable, wearing a silky short-sleeved polo shirt, designed with vertical strips that gradually became darker.  Nelson's slick designed shirt was tucked into straight-legged khaki pants, held neatly together with a brown leather belt around his waist.  On his feet, Nelson was wearing rounded-toe brown leather dress shoes that were made from a breathable leather blend.  To cap the look, the Silver University Headmaster wore a fabric banded watch around his wrist that was dark green at the center, and gradually became a lighter shade towards the fringes.  The watches face was white, and the details were a light green.
6. (*Worn shooting hoops in Silver University arena with Jayden and Malone*) Dressed down, Nelson was helping take Jayden's mind off the drama surrounding his past.  He was sporting a gray long sleeve shirt with the Silver University Shining Knights logo on the front, and the university's name and mascot printed in black text on the back.  Nelson was also wearing black joggers that were unimaginably comfortable.  On his feet, Nelson was wearing gray high-top basketball shoes with glittery gold soles that squeaked against the court.
7. (*Worn during the sudden discovery of Joyner Knowles steel mill hideout*) Nelson looked very presentable, wearing a dark teal lightweight long sleeve polo shirt with three white buttons jotted down the frontside.  Nelson had rolled the sleeves to his elbows, revealing the rare watch on his wrist, made from the sharp teeth from various wolves.  Nelson continued the look with black dress slacks that flowed down towards dark teal full-strap loafers, having black soles that matched his slacks and belt.
