Salus was born to a wealthy aristocratic family and grew up in a sheltered home. He soon became bored with his easy life and started looking for a way to escape his silken perfumed cage. When the elves moved to answer the call of the Emperor Salus found his chance and confronted his father telling him that he was staying to defend the forest. At first Salus's father just called him a foolish boy but the more Salus insisted the more his father's anger rose. After several hours Salus left the house pushing away his mothers pleas and ignoring his fathers accusations of being a traitor and coward.
For the next several years Salus has honed his skills with the small band of resistance fighters against the demon infesting their old homeland. Just recently he has received news from his mother that he is needed, his father is dying. Salus was torn on whether he should leave or not because he really no longer cares about his father. News quickly spread that he was requested to head towards the Well of Life and was approached by his commanding officer and was asked if he could go there under the guise of visiting his family and gather any information he could and return with it.
After traveling several months Salus has just arrived in the Well of Life ready to start his assignment.
