Biography
Before Snowbound Blood
Bytcon's introduction to the world of business was as a young conman. Secily speculates that his interest was sparked more from greed than from desperation, simply finding it an enjoyable and profitable experience. He quickly rose through the ranks of cheaters and scammers and started to make a name for himself, and eventually, he joined the television and show business.
Eventually he moved on to "business business," steadily consuming more of a hold on the economy. At some point, he became involved with "cyphercash," the Repitonian equivalent of cryptocurrency, and was the one who singlehandedly popularized it. He personally crafted or at least popularized more than 1,000 forms of cyphercash, and even still is constantly thinking of new ones.
During Snowbound Blood
Bytcon is the first suspect Secily chooses to confront after interviewing the suspects Hamifi recommended. After sweeps of trying to convict him for his less than legal business practices, she assumes that his fortune and influence in criminal circles might have placed him near the Vififier's blood, and approaches him at work. After an increasingly aggressive verbal and eventually physical confrontation, Secily has to accept that her intuition was wrong and that Bytcon is not the person she's looking for.
Bytcon and Secily meet again in Raurou's restaurant in Snowbound Blood: Volume Six and in Crytum's apartment in Snowbound Blood: Volume Ten. During this last confrontation, Bytcon takes offense with Secily's comparison between him and Noxious, causing the situation to once again escalate and Endari to ask Secily to leave the apartment.
During Vast Error
Bytcon, alongside the rest of The Boys, appears in I2S2. When Necron discovers that the Harbingers of the Alpocalypse are planning an attack during Sestro's inauguration ceremony, he and The Boys race to Stronghold 21 to try and prevent the massacre. After the battle, they retreat to Eidolic Acres 
.
Personality and traits
Bytcon can be likened to an explosive TV personality, constantly bursting with excitement and attention-grabbing phrases and offers. He has a particular fondness for winning, which he is very good at doing, but also expresses contempt for the idea of mundanity and predictability. This love for the constantly fluctuating likely explains Bytcon's particular interest in cryptocurrency.
He's likened very frequently to rats, even though he apparently has no rat lusus on record. He's quick-thinking, agile and incredibly hard to track down and catch in the act, hence his continued freedom despite his presumed phenomenal track record of criminal acts.
Relationships
Endari Vernir
Endari, like Bytcon, is a member of The Boys. When pressed for an alibi, Bytcon directs Secily to talk to Endari, telling her that they're very close. In Snowbound Blood: Volume 6, it is strongly implied that Endari is Bytcon's matesprit. The two are seen attending Raurou's cooking class together and being quite publicly affectionate. Despite generally being as brash as usual, he falls quiet and blushes when Endari compliments him.
Divino Nikola
Divino is Bytcon's moirail.
Secily Iopara
Secily and Bytcon's relationship is cool at best and openly hostile at worst, with Bytcon openly provoking Secily and Secily frequently threatening him with physical violence. Secily's resentment for Bytcon seems to be fueled by both for his illegal and immoral business practises and her own inability to ever catch him in the act, despite having set her eyes on him for sweeps. In her inner monologue, she frequently compares him to a rat, calling him a slimy little rodent and other unflattering epithets. Bytcon, on the other hand, takes pleasure in riling her up. However, he seems to be willing to ignore their unpleasant earlier encounters when they meet outside of the Currency Dome, and is hurt when Secily compares him to Noxious at the end of Crytum's route.
