Entirely and not just “unless it happens to me” but also “if its about me”. His “bond” with Powder is entirely dependent on him projecting his own issues on to her, his own issues with abandonment and betrayal that in actuality have nothing do with her situation. His need for her has nothing to do with her well being. His unresolved issues with abandonment just drives his need to possess her. He needs her by his side and he’ll do anything to keep her there regardless of what it costs her because as with everything else the ends justify the means to him. He’ll murder her family just on the off chance that family might come between them, he’ll lie to sway her decision making in his favor, he’ll feed her paranoia and self loathing to shape her into his specific vision of “perfect”, and he’ll pump her full of horrifically destructive, addictive drugs so she stays breathing. Silco is a tragic character but nothing he does was ever really for anyone but himself.
In so many ways too. He finally had an inkling of insight into Vander’s mind. He finally understood the reasons behind Vander’s inaction, which Silco perceived as weakness at the time. Of course, he still holds onto his convictions. He just absolutely wouldn’t have budged on handing Jinx over.

Silco comes off as the epitome of "I don't care unless it happens to me personally".
So a narcissist?
In fairness,

It's the scribbled eye that really does it for me
I thought it was a water mark lol
A dad and the dog he said he didn’t want
Silco: "I've only had Jinx for a week but if anything happened to her I would burn down Piltover and then myself."
☝️☝️
I believe you meant “burn down Zaun and then myself” ;)
Ur low effort memes are what gets me through the week
It’s what I do
Patrification
The scene with Silco talking to Vandor statue was so cool

I love the extra effort you put into the eye. 😋
