Salvatore was once a barber of some renown, in a small coastal town called Vairia. Travelers from throughout the world, made it a point, to sit in his chair, for the best groom of their lives- for, like his father before him, Salvatore was a true craftsman.
Then one day, while trimming the bangs of the local Lord of the Abbey, he beheld an amazing sight that changed him. There - in the bald spot on his customer's head- he could clearly see the outline of the shape of the Queen of Swords, his beloved deity.
At that moment, he dropped his scissors, kissed the ring of the priest,and dedicated his life to the service of the Queen.
Now he travels the land, as a young paladin- proclaiming to all the folk of the Good Deeds of the Well-Armed Lady, and doing her bidding.
He carries two swords, just like his deity. One he calls, 'The Sword of Punishment', which he inflicts upon the wicked, and the other, 'The Sword of Forgiveness'...which he ALSO inflicts upon the wicked.. err.. to put them out of their misery.
On his belt, he sheathes his trimming shears, just in case the paladin thing doesnt work out... at least he'll have something to fall back on.
