ASaltedProfesser

Mihir "Sakuriu" Salt (born 7 July 1949) is an American history professor, whose research has focused on the Townscraft Minecraft server.

==Background and education==
ASaltedProfessor (née MrSaltShaker704) torpedoed into the Townscraft server on August 5th, 2020. With unmatched energy and commitment to the Game, he spared no time in joining the second oldest town in Townscraft, Summerhall. He quickly built a small medieval-style house directly in the middle of a path in Summerhall, which marked just the beginning of the turbulence chronicled in his three-part book series, “A Salty Start.” Professor Salt is best known in the TC community for his outrageously ambitious projects and goals, such as fishing for over 12 hours, mining for 12 hours, and making a netherite beacon. He is also known for having a certain, purportedly “cursed “ profile picture, as well as authoring the aforementioned books series. 
Perhaps what he is best known for is his deep well of historical knowledge about the Townscraft SMP. Professor Salt graduated magna cum laude at Harvard University, where he took several high level courses on Minecraft history, including a one-year intensive Minecraft Pocket Edition course. His time in academia culminated with his thesis entitled, "Player Turnover on SMPs: Why OGs Leave and Do Not Come Back." Graduating with two Masters degrees in Townscraft History and General Minecraft History (as well as an advanced Bachelor in legal studies), Professor Salt was extremely well fit to immerse himself into the Townscraft SMP. Although the Professor joined the server several months after its launch, he spent countless hours, days, weeks, and months poring through the Discord and Wiki to further his understanding of Townscraft. 
== Political career, Activism, and Business Career ==
Professor Salt rose to fame in the Townscraft community, as he frequently engaged in various antics, and even was temporarily banned from the server due to some minor theft. Redeeming himself in the following months through charity and acts of good will, Professor Salt has wiped his slate clean, and now embodies a great purity.
Professor Salt founded Redwood City on August 28th, less than a month after his arrival on Townscraft. His town would become the main bastion of modern architecture on Townscraft, and would later find its calling in the restaurant business. Additionally, Redwood was the first town on TC to legalize recreational marijuana, which would later influence Honey Valley to legalize every drug. Redwood would also become known for Professor Salt Halloween Festival, which brought scores of players to the city to celebrate Halloween with a haunted house, maze, pig race track, and more. 
Besides his status as the resident Townscraft historian and Mayor of Redwood City, Professor Salt is also one of the most successful and well known businessmen on the server. With an extremely productive gunpowder farm, the professor has been able to simultaneously run two very lucrative shops in Redwood City and Honey Valley, which seem to sell out of rockets, TNT, and gunpowder faster than Prof. Salt can restock. His unrivaled ambition and optimism has made Salt successful in nearly every one of his endeavors on the server.
Likewise, Salt is widely known as a lawyer among the community's specialists. The phrase "Better call Salt", as well as his flamboyant defense in the Cody v Salt trial, made him largely renowned in that field, although he has not been nowhere near as successful in his legal career as he has in his history and business ventures.
Today, Professor Salt spends less time in Redwood as he pursues a netherite beacon, which has proved to be a challenging undertaking; nonetheless, the professor is extremely committed to the project, and its completion will likely mark the pinnacle of his career. Although occasionally stopping by Redwood and Honey Valley to restock his shops, the nether is where Professor Salt spends most of his time now. In late October, Salt founded and became a Professor at Redwood University, which further solidified his status as the resident historian on the server. Recently, the professor has also been elevated to the esteemed position of Wiki Moderator by TC staff, due to his firm grasp on Townscraft history and empirical work so far. As of late, he has made significant contributions to the Wiki pages of Kimberrrr and Wummeh, and expects to add much more to the Townscraft Wiki. It is hard to say what is next for Professor Salt, as he tends to keep his future plans extremely confidential, and only makes them known to a handful of highly respected server members. In any case, we know that his plans will likely be very grand, as he tries to outdo his previous ventures.
