## Bio

When Salem was very young his mother started a humanitarian company in order to help those in need. She had done very well for herself and many people that needed care. Soon after her company was successful enough to amount a fortune. A greedy abusive ex came to her office one late night, Salem was hidden in the cabinet to be protected. Although his mother fought valiantly to protect her child she would ultimately be stopped when a gunshot rang out from between her and her ex. In her dying moments she smacked the gun away. It landed outside the cabinet where out of instinct or maybe fear Salem reached out and took it into his hand. He looked up shakily where his bloody father stood over his mother’s dead body. As his father began to reach towards him. With tears in his eyes and a shaky hand Salem shot his father. There laid a broken boy who had nobody, a terrible shadow to be casted over him for the rest of his life. He would grow up under the care of a lovely woman who took care of his mother before him. During the next few years until he was old enough to take control of his inheritance of the company and money only being 12 at the time, his caretaker would oversee the company and take him along during their humanitarian missions. He learned many skills growing up thanks to the traveling of many nations and meeting of great teachers in many skillful fields. Then at the age of 18 when he was able to take control of his company he began a humanitarian mission to Japan to aid the lower class people living in the slums. During his time there he would meet a master in the shinobi arts who would take Salem under his wing. The next 4 years until he was 22 he would be trained in the arts of stealth and combat under his master. Then one day he had received his caregiver at Home was murdered and with he wished his Master well and goodbye, he would return to mourn and to run his company. A few weeks after his return, one night on his way home he witnessed a woman and child being held up, he felt his heart kick in where he would step in and subdue him. This would ignite a feeling, no a belief in his heart. He would no longer be burdened by this memory in his life, he would use his trauma to help make sure that under his watch nobody else would have to suffer. For as long as he remained he would be the shadow of Gotham.
