WHAT ROCKET KNOWS
Fernando is only the CEO of Silph Co. in name. He's primarily focused on his job of councilman. Most of his Silph Co. responsibilities are entrusted to LILLIAN GLASS .
WHAT ROCKET KNOWS
DESMOND KELLEY and DOMINIC SINCLAIR know private things about him that no one else does.
PRIVATE
Fernando is very paranoid. He trusts no one and revolves his life around it. It is not uncommon for him to have pokemon that specialize in stealth accompany him out of view. This is hinted at and written down in multiple threads. Anyone who was explicitly in those threads when the pokemon revealed themselves may be able to guess that this is a habit.
Fernando was instrumental to his parent's death.
DOMINIC SINCLAIR, SILAS BLACKWELL, and EVELYN SILPH know that he has Jirachi's Wish Tag. No one knows what he wished for though.
Fernando is adept at disguises and has used them routinely. He does his best to be thorough and goes beyond just a wig or mask.
Fernando is an exception trainer as long as the battle follows his own tempo.
Fernando believes that skill, talent, and results dictate how things should flow. He has little concerns with superficial things that do not have a direct impact on gauging certain traits. For example, knowledge about history doesn't dictate whether someone is a good battler. It is better to be alive than to die while doing the right thing. People who would know this include STORMY LLEWELLYN, OLIVIA ABBIATI, and KIM COLE-ESSAM.
