Biography

Salvatore Rossellini is a fascinating man residing in Deadwood, South Dakota, where he presides over an intriguing Oddities and Curiosities shop. This unique emporium boasts a diverse array of items, from animal bones and antique relics to macabre medical wet specimens and vintage weaponry. Amidst this bizarre inventory, one can also find an assortment of herbal remedies and salves, promising to cure the most peculiar and obscure ailments.

However, Sal's allure goes far beyond the eclectic merchandise in his shop. He is a veritable historian, deeply knowledgeable about the local area, the annals of medical history, and the unsettling underbelly of America's dark past. His expertise in these domains lends an air of authenticity to his curios and adds an eerie mystique to the shop's atmosphere.

Sal's uniqueness goes deeper in his dual life as a practitioner of Necromancy, specializing in the arts of weapon crafting and Masquerade maintenance. His mastery over four paths of Necromancy allows him to perform feats beyond mere body disposal or keeping the authorities at bay. He can lull entire buildings of people into slumber, manipulate the perceptions of humans to disregard the presence of supernatural beings, and even vanish from surveillance cameras. Perhaps most intriguingly, he can selectively extract and manipulate memories from individuals, transforming those he interacts with into not just amnesic, but also a friendly ally.

Despite his extraordinary skills and his connection to the dark underbelly of the supernatural world, Sal is a genuinely pleasant and amiable individual. He exudes kindness, even in a world where shadows and secrets are the norm. His unique blend of charm, knowledge, and the otherworldly sets him apart as a one-of-a-kind character in a world filled with darkness and enigma.
