Secret the PC keeps to himself
Sallentine was literally born and raised on a Pirateship and he doesn't want that fact following him around. He left his parents Ship wanting to become his own man and not necessarily follow in their footsteps.

Secret kept from the Pc Sallentine's parents actually care very much for their son, in their own strange and twisted way. They will regularly scry on Sallentine just to see how he is doing. Sometimes they will travel days out of their way to raid a ship that Sallentine happens to be on. They look at this as a form of toughening up and parenting for their son. Secretly they look forward to the day that their son is able to best them.

4)people that are tied to your PC by blood, love, rivalry, honor, etc.
1. Allejandra -Sallentine's mother is an oracle to the Godess Besmara... The Pirate Queen.... She refuses to marry or take Agrimore's name claiming it would make others think she is weak.
2. Agrathimore- Sallentines Fathers, the Captain of the Red knife, ruthless, intelligent, and physically strong.
3. “Tongue”- The Surgeon on the RedKnife. He was a kindly man who refused to lift a finger to harm another but he was skilled in the ways of healing and would refuse none his skills to heal. He never talked back to the pirates of the ship because they had long ago removed his tongue. Often Sallentine thinks about him and marvels at how kind and unconditional his compassion was.
4. Hargus and Farles... Owners of a small tavern in Tortagor... they were the only other survivors from the first time that the Redknife took a ship with Sallentine on it.
5. Lady Isabelle Farthing. A noble woman that was being held hostage by Salt's parents. The young half elf helped her escape from his father. And returned her to her mothers care.

5) Key memories that define your character as the person they are.
1. Standing on the deck of the Red Knife and feeling the wind in his hair, the spray from the waves on his face, and the sun on his skin.
2. The first time “Salt “ had to kill a man. His father had already beat the man half to death, and Sallentine's mother put the knife in his hands. To his parents it was a right of passage. To their son it was a merciful death for a man who had already endured too much pain. The one thing that made it truly difficult was the fact that the mans daughter had been brought on board with him and was there to witness the death of her father. This was how Sallentine met Isabelle Farthing.
3. The first time the Redknife showed up to attack a ship that Sallentine was on. There had been little contest between the pirate-ship and the merchanman. Salt hadn't seen his parents since he had left with Isabelle. He was so worried about what kind of punishment he would receive. He figured he would be beat, or keel hauled, or hung from the mast of the Redknife exposed to the elements for days. He had seen his parents fo this to others before, and knew just how bad they could be when their anger is truly raised. In the end the pirates didn't even acknowledge who Sallentine was and they all worked a little too hard to not look at him. None of them dared place a hand on him. The only thing any of the pirates did to him personally was when Captain Agrathimore personally threw Sallentine off the ship. A few moments later six more men were tossed into the water after the half elf. The Red knife lifted Sail and as it started to pull away Agrithmore called out...”You all are too weak to serve a purpose on my ship.” The men cast into the ocean made their way to a small island in the distance. It was three weeks beofore the survivors could signal a ship to rescue them. Of the Seven thrown into the water onlt Salt and two of the others survived the ordeal.

The Renowned Pirate Ship “Redknife” is known to many a merchantman as a plague and pox on the ocean. To Sallentine Agrathimore for the first twenty four years of his life “The Red Knife” was his home. The scarred Elf Captain that lead so many raids and killed so many men was simply known as Father to the Half-elf. The Evil Priestess of Besmara known for her ability to calm waves and rouse storms... was simply Mother to Salt. The Motley gang of elves that made up the Redknife's crew were Sallentine's cousins, and distant relatives. But all of this is something that Sallentine Windson would prefer to leave in his past.
