Born into a wealthy family, Terry Silver joined the US Army sometime before 1968 and was deployed to Vietnam. During this time, he met John Kreese and the duo became best friends.
Unbeknownst to anyone, however, Silver bribes the referee to rule in Tory and Cobra Kai's favor. After this, Silver betrays and turns on Kreese, as Kreese refusing to allow him to finish Johnny off made him believe that Kreese deceived him into believing that they were teaming up for the glory days.

What is the backstory of Terry Silver?
Backstory. Born into a wealthy family, Terry Silver joined the US Army sometime before 1968 and was deployed to Vietnam. During this time, he met John Kreese and the duo became best friends.
Key Takeaways. Silver is a precious metal. It has historically been used for coinage and jewelry and is also highly conductive, which gives it many industrial uses. Investors and traders buy physical silver through commodities markets.
Silver dominated Johnny during their fight, whereas Kreese struggled mightily when he went up against his former student in both seasons 2 and 3. Kreese, who is in his 70s, lacked the physical endurance he needed for a prolonged fight with Johnny or Daniel.
When Johnny accuses him of not caring about him, Kreese claims he cared about him more than anyone and he really wanted him to win the All Valley in 1984 to stop him from going down a downward spiral, and also tells Johnny that Robby is the only one to bring Cobra Kai the glory.
Unlike Daniel, Johnny didn't have much of a reaction to Silver, considering that he didn't know the character. Later on, Daniel had to catch him up on the events that took place in The Karate Kid Part III.
Terry Silver tormented Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid Part III. The multimillionaire insanely devoted his time and money to hounding the teenage Daniel, and he manipulated LaRusso into breaking with his mentor, Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita), and joining Cobra Kai.
John Kreese: Kreese joined the army at 1965, he had probably 18 years in order to be able to join the army, so he is 71 years old at his first apparition on Cobra Kai and during season 2, and 72 at season 4. And he was 37 years old at the events of Karate Kid 1.
So all things considered, The Karate Kid Part II villain and The Karate Kid Part III villain are the two most talented fighters on the show, so if there's any one around who can beat Silver, it would have to be Chozen. No one else is capable of challenging - much less defeating - him alone.
For starters, Silver was years older than Daniel, and in the Karate Kid universe, age is power. It means that Silver had had a lot more time to perfect his fighting skills. He had also trained directly under Kim Sun-Yung for a longer period of time than Daniel had trained under Mr.
Whereas Silver pretty much took Johnny out with relative ease even seemingly toying with him: Also when a younger Terry and Kreese fought Miyagi, Terry seemed to do a bit better against him (lasting longer before being defeated as well): Terry is also considerably taller than Kreese with far better range.
The 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis was a major factor in the rise of silver prices. The 2010, U.S., midterm elections highlighted policy differences between President Obama vs. the Tea Party movement. The price of silver concurrently rose from $17 to $30 as the elections approached.
Silver is joining Kreese at Cobra Kai once again to take down Daniel and Johnny, because who needs therapy when you can punch and kick your way through decades long rivalries? Silver is now a billionaire, and as Griffith puts it, "It's so absurd that it's fantastic!"
Being a war veteran, Silver witnessed a lot of bloodshed and near-death experiences which left him traumatized for years. He developed post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the aftermath of the war, causing him a lot of pain and distress while returning to a normal civil life.
Terry Silver was John Kreese's best friend when they were soldiers in Vietnam and Kreese saved Silver's life so Silver paid for Kreese's dojo called Cobra Kai. But after The Karate Kid Part III, their dojo was banned from the tournament so Silver decided to leave karate.
