Julius Silverstein was a wealthy Jewish businessman and a collector of rare artefacts. He purchased a deactivated robot Yeti from Professor Edward Travers, who had acquired it in Tibet. Thirty years later, Travers, having succeeded in reactivating a Yeti control sphere which later vanished, went to Silverstein and requested that he return the Yeti, warning him of the danger. Silverstein refused to listen, and was soon afterwards killed by the reactivated Yeti. (DW: The Web of Fear)
- The character was named Emil Julius in the novelisation in order to remove the potentially offensive Jewish stereotype.
