Salak
"Hell is others!"
Salak has been alone for so long he has forgotten whether he ever liked anything else. He remembers the Academy, the beatings, the study and getting sick. He remembered being told he was never going to be a soldier and the looks of pity he got on graduation day.
Appearance
Salak wears a blue robe that conceals much of his body and under it common slacks and riding boots. Even in fine weather he tends to hide his face which is marked by various injuries on the right side that most assume to be pockmarks. His grey hair is long and reaches below his shoulders though he tends to keep it tied or tucked under his hood. His cane-staff is adorned with snake motifs which he uses to help with limp. A lingering injury he got at the Academy.
Skills and Abilities
Venomancy: Salak can control venoms and toxins. He typically uses these to harm others as the Academy taught him but he can also remove them from a person or lifeform as long as he can get close enough. From there he can store it for a while and use it later in a spell. This has a price however Venomancy also makes it so that his skin will passively transmit venoms and toxins into the bloodstream of those that touch him, whether he wants it to happen or not.
Spying: As an Anirian Stalker Salak learned of the ways to acquire knowledge without notice and to read between the lines of others speech. That and a very good memory help him complete many of his missions.
Battle Magic: As all Dreadlords (even ones as low ranking as he) Salak also knows simple battle magic. His go-to spells are Toxic Mist and Poisoned Dart.

Personality
Salak is jaded and grim of disposition with an almost paranoid suspicion that others are out to get him. This was cultivated over his years in the Academy as many of the other classmates he had really did go out of their way to harm him. Fortunately this was seen as a boon to the Anirian Stalkers who recruited him post graduation. He has never seen any of his old classmates since and he does not miss them.
