Salazar is a cursed man. He doesn't know why or how, but at some point in the past one of his ancestors performed some prodigious thaumaturgical ritual which irreversibly fused his soul with a mote of infinite magic. The titanic energies involved welded themselves to Salazar's progenitor and unintentionally to all of his descendants, always burning but never burning out.

This power, as all power, came with a price. It is too much, too effervescent, too tempting to be simply ignored. Each scion of the line has exhibited and developed the same unique powers, but each time they are used the magical energy that infuses their souls takes another step toward consuming them completely.

No member of Salazar's family line sine the ritual has lived to the full age expected of their race. The magic inside them cannot be denied, but burns through their soul energy slowly but surely.

Born into this family and this curse, Salazar had further misfortune when his father, attempting to undo the ritual, failed and accidentally bound the spark of magic and thus the entire line into the service of a king on a Material Plane. Salazar adventured with the young king for a while, chafing against this new, artifical bond, until he was able to escape via a planar portal to the Astral Plane, the bond of servitude broken by the planar boundary.

In the Astral, Salazar found that the tax on his soul from the burning magic spark was not as strong as he was used to. The infinite, timeless realm of the Astral Sea calmed and contained the spark, and for a while Salazar travelled with a small band of renegade Githyanki pirates, pushing his powers further than ever before. Eventually the Githyanki were hunted down and slain by their own kin in service to the Lich-Queen, but Salazar escaped and made his way to Sigil.

As an individual of some personal power, he has made a living for himself in Sigil as a hire-on adventurer, guard and escort. Although his tactics are a little too 'scorched earth' for the truly subtle, he has always been happy to excercise himself and scratch the burning itch that claws away at him. He has been careful not to leave himself too many enemies... but who doesn't have enemies? He has lived in Sigil now for several years, and visited many places from the City of Doors.

He's a rash, brash young man who knows that his curse is his saviour. His generally easygoing nature and devil-may-care attitude is tempered by the truly towering temper that is, he tells himself, a side effect of his condition.
