Byron wants to implant microchips into every human on Earth that gives them all Factors and make them mindless drones who are assigned specific jobs based on their Factors that make the Earth the idyllic heaven that he believes should've been his birthright. Then, after he and his inner circle have perished, everyone will be free from the microchip control, but a dead man's switch will go off, triggering bombs that reduce the world to an apocalyptic hellscape.

He is very narcissistic. He believes everyone should work to further humanity's progress regardless of if they want to or not.

"Greetings, everyone. My name is Byron Narciso. I can't imagine most of you know who I am, but after this speech, you'll never be able to forget. Do you see this luscious paradise before you? I'm sure you'd love to enjoy it, but you can't. If this message is playing, then me, my wonderful friends, my loyal mentor, and my beautiful wife have all perished, which means this heaven must die as well. None of you are worthy of enjoying it, otherwise you would've created it well before I was even born. My father was the greatest crime lord in all of Northern California. He had riches and wealth beyond what many of you probably could've even imagined. Yet, I had to fester in a forest of waste throughout my life due to his death. All because humanity created concepts like kings and slaves instead of equal citizens. You required hours of bickering just to feed people and let your currency count decide your and others' value. At first, I didn't get it. In a world where humans can change the weather and create breathtaking forests, how could ideas like poverty and inequality still exist? Then I realized the problem. It's not that humanity's incapable of equality, it's that humanity despises it. After all, if you decide the worth of others by what they own, giving to the less fortunate is like reducing your own value and giving it to someone else. Why would we want to make ourselves lesser than just to help someone whose life we consider worthless? When you're so accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. Hell, this paradise is proof of your inherent opposition to equality. After all, the fact that I had to erase your humanity in order to create a bountiful heaven only proves how allergic human nature is to equality. But yet, despite being spawned from the holes of humanity, I ascended to the top of society thanks to the help of my wonderful mentor and friends. And it's thanks to my gorgeous wife that I had the intimate love that drove me even further. And my son? He's the pride of my life. Even I find it hard to believe how I could create someone so exceptional. For those listening who held important positions of power before, how does it feel to know that a little boy spawned from holes you created not only learned your language and surpassed you in its fluency, but also devised a way to reduce you to being even lower and more insignificant than he ever was? Of course, it's not just the elites who are to blame for the world's backwards existence. It's all the poverty-stricken troglodytes and middle-class drones who share the blame. For all the power and status the elite held, they only made of 1% of the population and yet, none of you ever thought to fight back? I grew up sleeping inside a shopping cart basket and I succeeded, what was your excuse? Well, it's true that I'm exceptional, but the only other conclusion I can rationally come to is that you were all far too comfortable with your own lives to allow other people that same level of peace. Now that me and my circle are gone, dead man's switches will now activate in several bombs placed around the world, bombs that I had some of you create that will bring the world to irreparable ruin. When will it happen? Days, weeks, months, years? Who knows? Well, I do, but hey, dead men aren't allowed to tell tales. Oh, and just for a little fun, I made most of you create statues of me and my circle so that you never forget the true architects of your future. And I went the extra mile to have you all destroy every form of currency in the world. You all despise equality, so I'm going to force it on you as punishment with this lake of fire. Now, either you all have to put aside your differences and work with those you considered subhuman filth, or you can all just kill yourselves the same. Either way, I can die happy knowing that this world, the ultimate mistake of God or any higher power, will rot and suffer like it should have many years ago. I'm not your savior. If anything, the notion that humanity is worthy of one is ludicrous. Honestly, the greatest miracle in history is that me and my circle were ever the same species as all of you."

Byron Narciso was born with the ability to control the element of Earth and raised in San Jose, California on March 22, 1979 in a homeless encampment named The Coyote Wilds, the largest homeless encampment in the country, housing 300 people. He was raised by his single mother, Áurea Narciso who worked as a prostitute. He used a shopping cart basket as a bed, using a small tarp as protection from the elements. Even though everyone in The Coyote Wilds all got along like one big happy family, the junk environment he was surrounded by every day was infuriating. To him, it was like being thrown into the world's biggest trash can. He attended a public school that, while functional, had unruly classmates who were a pain to be around and emotionally frail teachers who didn't have the patience to reign these kids in. It also didn't help that school was the only place where he could be around people his own age since he was the only kid living in the Coyote Wilds. This disgusted him. If anything could make school life tolerable, it was the conversations between teachers he'd eavesdrop on talking about how Byron's like a stress ball for them given his consistent good grades, drive to learn, and his exceptional manners. This praise, though, simultaneously sowed the seeds for his hatred of society. It confirmed in his mind that he was seemingly dealt a bad hand he didn't deserve. However, his life changed on his 10th birthday when a Coyote Wilds resident named Norman Katona approached him and told him that his dad was Ulisses Ribeiro, the biggest and most notorious crime boss in all of Northern California whose reign lasted 42 months, even showing Byron a paternity test report including his mother's name. When asked about how and why he knows this, Norman explained that he used to be Ulisses' personal bodyguard. When Byron asked how his dad died, Norman elaborated that Ulisses was assassinated by order of Alvaro Rey, who took his place as NorCal's biggest crime boss. Byron also asked how Norman knew who he was and how he got that paternity test report. Norman explained that after Ulisses died, he was greatly upset and distraught by the fact that he seemingly let his employer/best friend die. However, he still remembered that weeks prior, Ulisses went to buy Áurea's services since he heard from many of his men how good she was. Áurea, honored to have NorCal's biggest crime boss want her and so overwhelmed by his presence, put her absolute all into pleasuring him that night, so much so that other prostitutes he tried afterward couldn't hit the same. This made him want to hire Áurea as his personal prostitute. With this information, Norman tracked her down, painlessly extracted blood from her to get the fetal DNA, used some DNA from Ulisses' corpse, and sent it over to a friend of his who concluded that the kid was Ulisses'. Afterward, he would atone for his actions by living at the Coyote Wilds and protecting Byron from afar, still honing his own combat skills and earning money by stealing from people and giving the stuff over to a friend of his who ran a crooked pawn shop and had the ability to transmute any physical item into the money amount it was worth. Byron was furious to hear this, not Norman looking after him, but his father being killed. In his eyes, splendor and luxury were taken away from him by some guy's actions. He asked Norman to train him in combat so that he could get his revenge. Norman obliged, honing his skills in unarmed combat and swordsmanship, even giving Byron his dad's old Arsenal Band. Byron also trained himself in using his Factor, which let him control Earth. In between training, Byron continued his education, even skipping 7th grade. When he turned 15, his mom died from STDs brought on by her line of work. Saddened by this, he decided without her around, there was no point staying here. He told Norman he'd be moving to an abandoned hospital called Lambheart Medical Center, having found it online years prior that was near Downtown and Alum Rock. Byron told Norman to find a better place to live since he'd recruit him after his revenge was complete and never wanted to come back to the place. With that, Byron departed for Holt State Hospital with his mother's corpse, burying her with a tombstone he made engraved with an epitaph that read "To Áurea Narciso, the greatest mother and sex worker in all of Northern California. You were the best at taking care of me despite your circumstances. Your death is proof the world despises exceptionalism and will use whatever means possible to snuff it out." Byron still attended school and acquired money by robbing people and selling the stuff to the pawn shop owner Norman told him about. He'd also frequent an underground fight club Norman told him about called The Beast Hole. Here he'd battle many people and always win. Though, since Norman didn't teach Byron how to use his Factor in battle due to lacking one himself, Byron's wins involved lots of struggle and scars if his opponents fought with bladed weapons. After six months of refining himself, though, his victories gradually required less effort. So when it came time for The Beast Hole Tournament, Byron won, giving him the reputation necessary to select four other teens who'd be helpful to him: Delbert Monaheng who could control technology, Libi Keshet who could control rainbows, Garrett Long who could grow hard scales on his body and fire them as projectiles, and Silvio Zeferino who could control wind. He told them his goals and ambitions. Despite thinking his dreams sounding insanely big for his age, they still went along with him, figuring he had the resolve and strength to carry it out given his accomplishments. Together, they became The Vespeiro. He spent the next few years committing crimes with them, building up a reputation in the criminal underworld and also vetting these people. One of their first crimes was using Delbert's ability to hack some rich kid's bank account and buy some clothes they got from a super expensive store. Now, he wouldn't have to rely on his school's lost and found. Byron finished high school in May 1996 and finished college earlier than expected via summer semesters, earning a Bachelor's in Business Management in Summer 1999 and a Master's in Political Science in Summer 2001. It was during his undergraduate career that he had a daughter as well. This is because he learned that Alvaro was extra considerate to employees with kids. However, he wanted to ensure his child was someone he could love. And he didn't want to do it yet until he felt sure he could genuinely love her. As a result, he had a daughter through IVF, using an egg donor with traits he admired. Byron picked her up when she was born on April 13, 1999, and named her Sarah. The Vespeiro also went through schooling with all of them graduating with different degrees. Byron finished his education so he could acquire perspective that would help in his revenge and as personal rebellion against a world he believed awarded mediocrity. On January 1, 2002, he joined Alvaro's crime syndicate named Sangre Lúcida and work as a top member, acting excessively sycophantic, singing Alvaro's praises while calling his predecessor a loser, even as everyone mocked him for it. He was doing well until May 7 of that year when he made a huge, costly mistake. This sunk his reputation down to the negatives. Alvaro told him from now on, all he was allowed to do was win and he'd have to work thrice as hard to restore his standing. During this time period, he met his daughter's egg donor, Regina Pinto, after a few years of yearning for her thanks to Delbert's technology. As he worked hard to increase his standing, they dated for years. While her looks certainly captivated him, he was taken in by how he could never beat her in HoloWars, a high-tech tabletop strategy game. Though he mentally sharpened after each game, she remained undefeatable. Byron yearned for her to be his wife even more. But even when revealing more of himself throughout their dating period, he was stunned at how accepting she was of him and how ruthless she could be herself. As if his life couldn't get any better, Byron learned something unexpected about his Factor. Even before training with Norman, he noticed that whenever he controlled more solid forms of Earth such as stone, clay, and crystal, it always glowed with a yellow outline. Delbert, who was asked to research this, found out this energy came from ley lines and that Byron drew from them unconsciously. What's more, Byron could draw on this energy to not only use it for his own purposes, but he could even sense anything on Earth, organic or not, and transmute said energy into different forms of Earth by 'reducing the planet's Spirit to a cruder version.' Byron embraced his powers fully, making them much easier to control. By gruelling through muddy hells, he earned the respect of not only Alvaro, but everyone in Sangre Lucida who mocked him prior. On June 6, 2006, he talked privately with Alvaro about his fall and rise like they were friends before shooting him in the leg. When Alvaro asked what was going on, Byron first demanded the name of his father's killer, revealing that he was Ulisses Ribeiro's son, which flabbergasted Alvaro. After getting his answer, Byron revealed that his sycophantic phase was just an act to both make Alvaro and everyone else not suspect him of anything and ensure his fall from grace would be subterranean. Byron explained that his screw up was intentional, that way when he built his reputation back up, he'd convince everyone he was so great and amazing that if Alvaro were to die, they'd just place him on the throne themselves. He stated that even calling Alvaro decent was worse than swallowing a recently used vomit rag, but it was all worth it for this. He took his time torturing Alvaro, a shot for all the years he was alive without his father each before finally killing him. He told the whole of Sangre Lucida that Alvaro tried to kill him after learning his true heritage thanks to a mercenary, but that he fought back and killed him in self-defense. Everyone naturally believed him and appointed him as leader, just as he planned. The following day, he reached out to Norman, telling him he got his father's criminal empire back and that he wanted him to join him in a fight with Ulisses' killer. They joined forces and murdered him together, finally getting closure. Three days following Alvaro's death, Byron and Regina got married on her birthday with their young daughter Sarah acting as a ring bearer. He considered it the birthday gift she deserved for accepting him. Byron took over Sangre Lúcida's legal cover as a non-profit organization that fought against hatred, bigotry, and injustice called The Northern Railroad, acting as its CEO while his wife would function as his secretary. He would also rename his new criminal empire Estábulo Dourado. Now he could begin actualizing his goal of implanting microchips in everyone on Earth so they will follow his will and turn the Earth into the paradise he believes he's entitled to.
