## Biography

### Tenth - Eleventh Century

Salazar was betrothed at ten to Orellana, his childhood friend.

At twelve, his father passed away and Salazar was made to take up his father's title as Marquess. He was forced in an early marriage with Orellana and as a result they had their daughter Fortunata awfully young. Salazar led an army against [...] in which he created what came to be known as Salazar's Valley.

When the Court started pressuring Salazar and Orellana to have more children, Salazar lost his temper and left with his family. The three found themselves on the British Isles, where Salazar met Godric and Myrddin. They headed to the school in 984, where they found Helga defending it against Northern invaders led by her brother Sigurd. Salazar promptly displayed his uncontrolled talent for Earth speaking to assist.

Salazar took an apprenticeship under Myrddin.

On the first day of March, 990, Salazar meets Harry, after overhearing him converse in Parseltongue with an adder. Harry is invited to stay with Salazar's, Orellana's, and Fortunata's chambers in Hogewáþ. On the Spring Equinox the following year, Harry is magically adopted into the Deslizarse family as Salazar's younger brother, Nizar Hariwalt.

Zuri is born prematurely later that year. Salazar loses his wife Orellana in childbirth and he is utterly heartbroken.

In 994, Salazar's eventual second wife came to Hogwarts, sixteen year old Marion. They had three children together.

Salazar left Hogewáþ on the 31st October, 1039 and made a deal with an Aspect of Death in 1043.

### Twelth - Nineteenth Century

Salazar met the three Peverell brothers in 1235 and, by the terms of his deal with the Aspect, set up the scenario that earned the brothers the Deathly Hallows.

Salazar met his third wife, [[Katalin]] in Gipuzkoa (year unspecified). Much like Helga, Katalin suffered from cancer that came back every time after it was beaten back, until it claimed her life.

Salazar travelled to Athens after the loss of Katalin for a time.

He met [[Ismene]] when she was still a child, had the pleasure of watching her grow to adulthood, and thought nothing of romance. Ismene, however, was definitely a creature after his own heart and plotted accordingly. She died of old age at 103. He witnessed their children's deaths and saw their grandchildren start families of their own until he couldn't take it any longer and left.

Salazar met [[Isis]] after a play they both attended by William Shakespreare. They lived together in Sherwood-on-the-Marsh for a good fifty years until Death claimed Isis in her sleep.

### Twentieth Century

Salazar joined the war efforts against both Hitler and Grindelwald. He met Henry Potter on the battlefield after Henry was sent to find Saul. The Potters soon claimed Salazar as one of their own.

## Personality and Traits

### Traits and Abilities (suggested)

**Tetrachromancy** - According to Nizar, this is a trait that both he and his brother share. Severus Snape clarifies that tetrachromacy is at its essence “[...] instead of a standard human’s three means within the eye of taking in color, you have a fourth” (I.8). According to Wikipedia,

> "the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cell in the eye. [...] In tetrachromatic organisms, the sensory color space is four-dimensional, meaning that to match the sensory effect of arbitrarily chosen spectra of light within their visible spectrum requires mixtures of at least four primary colors."
