Character Information
Full Name: Salvanör Yásvanahc Láqaal Bel-Parthalaar
Pseudonym: The Harpy of Parthalaar
Race: Divine Cult Kathar
Age: 68
Gender: All. (He/They)

Core Concept
Salvanör is a Kathar Silverwatch Argentum, loyal to the Dread Empire and seeking to enrich himself with power and status through villainous exploits. He fulfills the trope of a "magnificent bastard", acting bombastic and charismatic with a focus on speed, doing everything it takes to win.

Appearance Information
Salvanör is a pale-skinned, black haired Kathar of average height. His hair is worn long, but tied with an ornate barrette that turns it into a long ponytail and pushed back to make room for his two, large horns that rise from the top of his head. His eyes are a dark black with silver irises, augmented with magic to help show his pride in his Order.

His body is relatively cut and androgynous given the gender fluidity of his homeland, kept unscarred through the usage of magic and Apotheon's gift. Relatedly, a long, silver tail ending in a knife-like point extends from his rear. Furthermore, a functional pair of white, leathery wings - similar to a bat's - come out of his back. His torso bears plenty of piercings interlaced with his skin as both an aesthetic choice and a way to strike unease. His tongue is identical to a snake's.

Salvanör has two clothing styles: casual and combat. His casual wear is usually tight, leather garments meant to accentuate his body features like a well-crafted sculpture. He is no stranger to showing plenty of skin and adores high-rise boots. His combat clothes are less focused on showing off and more on intimidation, being created from darker metals emblazoned with silver as well as of his home Kaahl. His weapon is a large, ornate, repurposed spear-like voulge fashioned from the spire of a Unionist Temple; it still bears the Unionist eye which is, purposefully, crossed out with two pieces of overlaid steel.

Life Story
Salvanör was born somewhere in Parthalaar's poorer districts to two, unknown parents on the night of November 8th, 244, before swiftly being dropped off at a Future House for adoption. Life in the orphanage was rough on the young boy as it was for many other Kathar, often being disciplined and enlightened on the norm of Kathar society: loveless, cruel ambition. The entire Future House was one, big competition between the orphans to prove their worth to prospective parents by any means necessary.

At the age of 12, Salvanör, along with other Kathar of his orphanage, would be adopted by the Argentum instructor Arzhaen Laqaal both into the Silverwatch Chapter as squires and into the lesser Kaahl Laqaal as "family". Salvanör's time as a squire was incredibly cut-throat and competitive, as was expected of anyone living in Rokhvaal, so that he could prove his tenacity and avoid being cut loose back to the streets. Unfortunately, his honed sadism and silver tongue proved particularly potent and he rose to the top of Arzhaen's knight company by the time he graduated to a Rank-Knight of the Argentum Order.

Most of the Silverwatch's duties pre-Dread War boiled down to interfering with Regalian shipping and the Empire's partnership with the Suvial Isles. In flocks of knights, Salvanör and his comrades-in-arms would swoop down like hawks and tear apart entire crews of soldiers and sailors alike while toying with the ones who had sought to go overboard. When the Dread War finally erupted, Arzhaen, who had risen to a place of high importance within the chapter, led his Salvanör and company to war in Daendroc where Salvanör would personally engage in the defilement and sacking of temples. Yet, Arzhaen would be killed when the Regalian victories began to mount and Salvanör and company were forced into retreat.

Salvanör would find no sympathy at home upon return, with the cutthroat politics of the Rokhvaal resulting in the blame falling squarely on his company's shoulders. Some officials even whispered that Salvanör had been the one to strike Arzhaen down in cold blood to claim his position…

With the pressures mounting and feating potential, internal plots against him, Salvanör excused himself to Regalia on a personal assignment.
