Salvador was just a normal human skull, until he was given sentience by an experimenting necromancer. Thanks to a critical fumble by Elara Rinclaia in the early stages of Team Stormblade's adventures, he was set rolling across the countryside, and has never stopped. He's even earned himself a fan club!

Physical Description
Salvador is just a simple human skull, with pinpoints of light in his eye sockets. Usually, these lights look like spirals, since he has been rolling for so long.
Background
No one knows what Salvador's background may have been while he was alive. He may have just been a human commoner, picked randomly from his grave by a budding necromancer. Something must have gone wrong, as only his skull was animated, and it somehow became sentient. At some point, he was placed in a study in Tarnade Keep and promptly forgotten about for over thirty years…
… until Team Stormblade came along. They barged into the study, prompting Salvador to taunt them and fling insults as they fought a set of worgs that had followed them in. Elara Rinclaia rolled a single critical fumble with her crossbow, and with that stray bolt, set him on his journey. Since then, he has never stopped rolling, appearing in the most unlikely of places!
[edit] Current Activity
Rollin', rollin', rollin'… Keep that skull a'rollin'…
You get the idea!
Trivia
- Salvador has shown up at least once in every dungeon Team Stormblade has ever explored, and sometimes outside of dungeons.
- Salvador has gained himself a fan club in Akellon. Whether he is aware of this or not is a mystery.
- Salvador has even appeared in other games where Liatai was the Dungeon Master, usually when either Synth Edge or DaSzab is also at the table.
- The players of Team Stormblade even have a small prop Salvador, a Halloween decoration given new life as the mascot of the campaign.
Relationships
- Team Stormblade: He's a bit ambivalent about them. On one hand, they disturbed him from his rest and set him rolling through the world. On the other hand, they have rescued him on many an occasion from monsters, and he's seen more of the world as a rolling skull that he ever did when he was alive or in that study.
- His Fan Club: He doesn't seem to be aware that the Salvador Fan Club even exists, or he may just see them as annoying groupies.
