Personal history

Salazar Salmi was a no-mention hedge wizard that dabbled in necromantic arts. His life appeared to be going down the tragic route of a self-taught necromancer until a chance encounter with a merciful adventurer, Laron of Faldor's Farm.
After binding the would that he himself inflicted upon Salazar, Laron offered for the two youths to band together upon their journey. Together their skills and friendship grew, though they took very different paths. Laron grew into a sunny haired, broad chested lad that eased all they met with his easygoing charm. Salazar however deepened his study into necromantic paths, the study of corpses and spirits making him pale, and wan compared to his friend. Nonetheless the two journeyed far and wide together, eventually finding their way to the court of King Anheg of Arendia. Upon hearing that the King's daughter had been stolen Laron quickly shouted a challenge to the fiend behind it and rushed out, leaving Salazar to organise their journey with the King's attendants.
Upon rescuing Princess Eliza, he grew jealous of the romance blossoming between her and Laron, and when they finally arrived at court, for his Boon his asked for land of his own, so that he might be free from the cloying sight of the two of them.
After establishing himself in his barony in the north of Arendia, recently vacated by a heirless lord, he was shocked by the quality of life that the peasants there lived, worse than he had grown up in. Using his now prestigious talents at necromancy he raised up the bodies of the dead in his county, using them to carry out tedious manual labour such as farming and building and used a considerable proportion of his hard earned coin to employ scholars to educate his charges. Within a decade the barony, previously on of the poorest in the country was now highly educated and boasted a thriving magical industry, supported on the back of its uncomplaining undead working class.
Upon Laron's ascension to the throne, Salazar was summoned to court to act as his Grand Vizier, ensuring the smooth running of the country much like that of his barony. Though he proposed the use of an undead working class across the country, the Priests of the court have always rallied against it, calling Salazar a blaspheming blight upon the world.
