Salos

Salos was raised on the Decados planet of Cadiz. His family struggled to survive in the streets and slums. He was greatly inspired by the countless kindness shown to his family and others by the Amaltheans under the careful watch of Bishop Antipatra Decados. As soon as he was old enough, he joined Sanctuary Aeon so he, too, could learn how to tend to others in body, mind, and spirit.

He initially wanted to become a healer, but he and the priests who trained him began to recognize Occult powers growing within him. Knowing that his powers could not be ignored, but fearful of the dangers of Hubris, he determined to become a Theurgist to learn how to control his powers. His hope and prayer are that by using them in the service of others he will be able to hold the Hubris at bay.

Whenever he performs a Theurgic ritual, he is illuminated from an unknown source, something which he takes as a sign of the Pancreator's blessing.

At the age of 35 and with an average build, his appearance is largely unremarkable, aside from his clerical robes and kind face. Still, those who meet him sense strength and power within him that is uncommon - even among the other clergy they have met.

He is a pacifist and greatly admires the Prophet's example of seeking peace and unity between humans and the alien species. The only weapon he carries is a quarterstaff, which he uses as a walking stick.




Growing up in Cadiz, Salos experienced the excesses and abuses of House Decados all too well. He had always felt his calling was with the sick and hurting, so he was surprised when his superiors told him that he would be assigned to a Noble entourage. He was a bit dismayed when he learned it was a Decados noble. Is the Pancreator really guiding me to assuage the guilt of a spoiled Decados just so they can return to their debauchery with a clear conscious?

However, almost from the moment they met he recognize the small, but strong, embers of the Pancreator's light flickering within her. As they have traveled and earned each other's trust, Salos has been pleased, perhaps even proud, of her continued growth and the good she has done. She may not realize it fully herself yet, but the Prophet's questing spirit burns brightly within her. Salos may be responsible for her spiritual counsel, but she has taught him a bit more humility and reminded him that the Pancreator's light seeks to reflect off every soul, regardless of background or social class.

She also travels with Kalas, a Brother Battle. One a warrior and the other a pacifist healer, they could hardly serve the Pancreator more differently, yet Salos and Kalas formed a quick and strong bond. In Kalas, Salos has found a true friend and a stalwart ally.

Bada-Gar, Lady Alina's Vorox bodyguard, remains largely a mystery to Salos, but he looks forward to getting to know him better.
