Ianus Salvador also known as The Teal Magician or The Link is one of the leading protagonists of Sin & Virtue: Rise of the Runelords and a core figure in Sin & Virtue Introduced Chapter 1 of Rise of the Runelords, 
A Varisian apostate with a dark history that both served as the founder of Ex Nobis and the Spears of Septimus. His journey through the story is chronicled mostly from his point of view. It was not until his sudden death in Chapter 13 at the hands of Kumani Date that fate had caught up to him.
==Appearance==
Ianus Salvador's appearance changes perhaps the most dramatically amongst his companions. Initially beginning his journey as a moderately attractive Varisian youth of twenty, his exposure to magical energies and Thassilonian knowledge has decayed his beauty to such a degree that he looks twice his actual age. His attire however has evolved to a more utilitarian wardrobe, removing his bright colours for thicker wool cloaks to shield him from the elements.

== Biography ==
Ianus Bermudo Salvador was born in 1079AF in the town named Ilsurian, situated in central Varisia and south of the Storval Deep. The circumstances of Ianus Bermudo Salvador's birth lie in ambiguity; However, it is not circumstances of the where but more so the how. None are sure how he came to be, however an archive obtained from the writings of Bermudo Dali Salvador may provide hints regarding this event. 
Ianus's childhood was a quiet and secluded one. His father, after having come back into service despite having retired two years ago, had brought with him a slew of tomes confiscated from the Varisian magic academy "Citadel Vraid" after an operation which enacted the seizure of a section of the academy's archives at the behest of the King of Varisia. Most of these tomes were meant to be sent to the holy inquisitors at King's Landing for inspection, however Ianus' father Bermudo had secretly taken a few through bribery with one of the couriers. It is not necessarily clear what he had done with these tomes, however it's not unreasonable to speculate that Bermudo took the tomes with the intention of making his son read them, which may explain Ianus's extraordinary knowledge of human and arcane anatomy at such a young age, along with his strong ability to read and write.
Nothing notable occurred in Ianus's life until his father disappeared without a trace out of mysterious circumstances in the midst of the dark eve of his son's 16th name day. The next 4 years follow a period of seclusion even more severe than during Ianus's childhood, followed with extreme paranoia and what could be defined as borderline schizophrenia. The causes of paranoia are perpetuated by Ianus becoming more and more aware of the figure known as "Master of Puppets" stalking him in his own home as well as his suspicion of the majority of Ilsurian's population suspecting him as Bermudo's potential abductor or murderer. This paranoia did nothing to help with the effects of Master of Puppets manifesting in his psyche, which began to fracture sections of his mind into characteristic archetypes which Ianus would hear have full conversations with each other in his thoughts. This effect was deliberately activated by Master of Puppets manually in order to strengthen his willpower through conditioning; In other words, Ianus's mind became progressively broken and repaired stronger in a bi-monthly cycle of constantly bordering pure insanity. How Ianus kept himself from dying of thirst or starvation remains a mystery. How the townfolk which wished to apprehend Ianus never even managed to enter his home still remains a mystery. 
Upon his 20th name day, the effect Master of Puppets placed on his psyche was manually deactivated; However, the damage remained plenty. It took an additional two years for him to heal in a coma induced by Master of Puppets. After waking, Ianus found himself mentally stable as he was in his teen hood. During this time, he eventually came to terms with Master of Puppets, which remained still an enigma to him save for his knowledge of a being named an "Eidolon" which he found in one of the confiscated tomes. He remains a recluse throughout this year, watching closely for an opportunity to make leave from Ilsurian safely and head west to Sandpoint, which he vividly dreamt of in flames and smoke. Although he didn't understand why, he felt an extremely strong urge to protect this town which he hadn't even any connection with.
His opportunity is granted in the fall of 1101AF, when a knight named Clark Rollins visited Ilsurian in hopes of finding an apothecary that has knowledge of a cure for his wife who was slowly dying of an illness. Without finding much hope in the town, Clark was preparing to leave. Seeing this as an opportunity, Ianus approached him while making sure they were out of sight and he convinced him that he was a capable apothecary and that he could help him on his search. Clark learning of Ianus' strong understanding of the human body and Ianus' learning of Clark's next destination being Sandpoint, the two decided to travel west of Varisia.

==Abilities==
Trained in ancient arts of mystical mage craft by Bermudo, Ianus is perhaps one of the brightest minds of witchcraft in the modern world, able to weave to life beings of pure energy and even draw upon the eldritch power of his destiny to alter the fates. Although lacking in raw power compared to the others in his company, Ianus more than makes up for it with raw skill.<tabber>

==Relationships==
Ianus being the front of his group and source of most knowledge has a rapport unlike any others. However due to his decaying mind and varying hints of insanity, he has alienated a large portion of his companions.
;Gorald Jirvi
:piccolo
;Raiden
:arcade
;Akari Saito
:rice bitch
;Ida Mitsunari
:deku
;Nuno Dias
:A relative newcomer to Ianus's band of companions, joining Akari on her own journey. Ianus knew very little of Nuno other than the fact he resented the optimism that the Elf had radiated. Believing him to be nothing more than a fool who would serve the same purpose Raiden once did, it was not until Nuno escaped by the skin of his teeth with the assistance of Ianus's own companions that he realised the potential of Nuno Dias. Now seeing him as a greater obstacle towards his goals, Ianus holds no qualms towards Nuno's demise and awaits with belated breath for it to come swiftly, especially so if he were to dig his own naïve talons into Gorald.
;Saku Les
:Saku Les was a name that drew ire from Salvador once upon a time. Not out of any regard for the man's personality but due to his own inadequacy. Noting that Saku Les was perhaps the most useless man who had joined him on his journey, Ianus believed that the Dalish lacked any amount of rational thought and would serve better taking a killing blow directed at Gorald than anything else he could do, although that is not to say that Ianus did not find his own amusement in the elf's antics. Even once commenting that the elf's failure at cooking was one of the more amusing things on his journey.
