S.A. (Eng)

S.A. is the main antagonist of Foribus Mentis Saga 1. He is a tall, dark-skinned man from Easter Island with long, dark and very unkempt hair (due to the lack of interest he has towards everything in general).

## Summary

S.A. is a man who had aspirations of living a quiet and traditional life with his family, but all that is ruined when his wife, without further notice, decides to leave him without explanation taking away his son during the process.

Months later, his wife decides that she no longer wants to be a mother and that she wants to pursue new purposes in her life, this leads her to regret her decision to keep Thobias, so she decides to give custody to S.A. again. However, in an oversight of her, the child runs across the street, disengaging from his mother's hand when she was looking at her cell phone and crosses the street without looking at a car approaching and killing him instantly.

This would generate an enormous emotional breakdown in S.A. that would end in an absolute loss of the capacity to feel empathy when he saw the reaction of his ex-wife, who not long after, assumed this loss as a new beginning that freed her from an obligation that jaded her, rather than as a painful loss. No longer feeling remorse for anything and plunged into a deep depression that clouded his vision completely, he tried to kill Danielle, nevertheless, she called the police so S.A. had to escape. Although he ends up being arrested and is taken to prison, where he earns the respect of the other inmates for his corpulence and ferocity. During his stay he meets the members of the Underground gang and together with them he manages to locate the person responsible for the hit-and-run of his son. S.A. contacts a mercenary who was out of prison and pays him through favors with the mob to kill the man responsible and Danielle. During a moment of reflection, S.A. considers that everything that has happened to him has been like "a tornado of disasters that won't let him escape, and he is in the middle of it."

Later, because the mafias work together with police and other judges throughout the country, S.A. manages to get out with a reduced sentence and can walk the streets freely again, however, he must pay for his freedom with the mafia through hired assassinations. Since S.A. finds no reason to follow the rules of such a rotten society, he enters a state of indifference for life and commits murders without remorse. This leads him to notice the existence of a number of horrible creatures that seem to watch him, and in some cases, attack him. Although he is able to defend himself, he observes a pattern about these, at first, he believes that no one else can see them, but later, he finds that other people can see them too. He also realizes that the creatures' attacks seem to occur after generating a feeling of pain or sorrow for Thobias' memories. This leads him to question their origin.

During the series he murders several innocent people by using them as sacrifices to try to summon a portal that grants him some ability akin to his targets, (though not children because they remind them of his son Thobias) but none of them work, Anton, Yukiko and Cherith must stop him before he keeps killing more people.

S.A. seems to have a vague knowledge of growing people, which is why he is seen burying a corpse in the sand during one episode. He had heard through his people that ancient tribes believed in certain abnormal procedures. He had heard that these could happen during the germination of the fruit trees that were planted in these lands.

In his last moments, S.A. understood that many of the entities he had to fight were provoked by himself due to the pain of the loss of his son. He just couldn't cope with it, not overcome it. During the final encounter, Anton sees that S.A. succumbed to the nameless entity who revived his desire for revenge, so he hesitates, based on his previous experience, whether to kill it or not, since at that point, S.A. is more entity than human being. On the other hand, if he does nothing, he will most likely continue to kill people unchecked. He finally ends up being absorbed by the same tornado he created and arrives at a place lost in his memories where his son is still alive and they continue with their lives within the illusion. S.A. never learns that any of it is real and is left there forever.
