Appearance
Salus was a grizzled old man white hair that he styled into a ponytail.

Salus wore a black priest's robe that was embroidered in gold.

Personality
Despite his advanced age, Salus was very sharp. He was able to grasp a person's true motives after having a brief conversation with them.

Salus had a sense of humour, which often annoyed his comrades (particularly Cloris).

Chronology
Three months after the death of the Liberators's leader Belta Lievre, Salus and other higher-ups within the organization met with Miledi Reisen in order to determine whether they could trust her as a member. After a tense interaction (mostly on Miledi's end), Salus and the others gladly welcomed her and expressed their hopes for her, based the information Belta had told them about her before her death.

Cloris Gaistrih
Salus cared for Cloris like his own daughter. Although his immature antics would often annoy her, she stilled loved him.

Miledi Reisen
Salus doted on Miledi as if she was his real granddaughter, and whenever she was gone for more than a few months at a time, he started pining for her. Miledi would often become embarrassed by Salus' devotion towards her, and would use her gravity magic to subdue him.

Oscar Orcus
Due to Salus's over-protective nature towards Miledi, he did not like how close Oscar was with her.
