Glooper

Salazar was one of the eldest sons of the pirate Sloan, raised to be his second body if ever Sloan himself was killed. One of the chief members of The Iroborn, Salazar was a cruel and spiteful being, who relished in bringing pain and suffering to the lives of whoever he encountered. Salazar was killed in combat by The Chaos Hounds during their break in to Galatias, with Viscan Milvirel delivering the final blow.

## History

Salazar was spawned as all Slaad are, in a pit of mucus and flesh, grown from their sire's own body and spirit. The largest of his brood, Salazar proved to be a bully from the moment he grew sentience, consuming his siblings over time, growing in size and strength as he did. Eventually, only he remained of his brood, and was welcomed into his fathers council with glee.

From the outset, Salazar knew that he would one day lose his own self, should his father ever fall. Slaad sires can overtake their spawns bodies, giving themselves a new life in place of their offspring. This did not sit well with Salazar, though he knew he could not kill his father yet, for Sloan's strength was far to great. Salazar resolved to study him, learn from him and bide his time.

To that end, he became Sloan's most dependable enforcer, doing anything his father requested of him. His years working as a butcher and hunter for Sloan created in Salazar a strong love for pain and death. He was infamous for his brutality, which in many ways surpassed Sloan's own. During his time working aboard The Iron Obelisk, Salazar crossed paths with Canis Absalom and The Deckhands, as well as Twisted Fate, both encounters that Salazar fled to live another day.

## The Chaos Hounds

Salazar was present when Marshal Lupax brought the group known as The Chaos Hounds to his fathers fortress in Sloantown. Unbeknownst to the group of adventurers, Marshal was a plant, sent into the group by Sloan to help him get access to Galatias. During his initial encounter with the group, Salazar taunted and belittled them, hoping to goad them into a battle. Present when his father presented his terms of infiltration into Galatias, Salazar silently hoped the adventurers would betray them, his lust for their blood growing with each passing moment.

Salazar followed Marshal to a small outpost, under the pretense of rescuing one of Sloan's other spawn Glooper. In truth, he and Marshal planned to kill the Chaos Hound Robert Regarth. As Marshal destroyed Robert's automaton companion Teddy, Salazar ambushed the small gnome and grievously wounded him. He then imprisoned Robert, who eventually negotiated his own release on the condition he and fellow Chaos Hound Cordel Dickmane made a suicide mission into Galatias ahead of the other Chaos Hounds. Salazar later provided support to Marshal when he betrayed and attacked the other members of the group, gleefully jumping into the fray in hopes of being able to kill the famed band of Guardians.

As Salazar dueled the vampire Vladimir Farkas Dashkovari, he managed to deposit one of his spawn within the vampire. Standing over the wounded warrior, Salazar prepared to deliver the killing blow. Before his claws could strike, the shadar-kai warrior Viscan unleashed an incredibly powerful attack, channeling the magic of The Raven Queen to kill Salazar in one fell swoop.
