Editing Saliss Oliwing (section)

== Background ==
Saliss is the grandchild of Pallass' Grand Strategist, [[Chaldion Oliwing]]. His parents were soldiers who died in a war.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/16/9-54-c/ Chapter 9.54 C]</ref> He was inducted into the army at a young age to be trained as Chaldion's heir, and achieved the rank of Corporal. He also served in the Eyes of Pallass.<ref name=":2" />

Saliss travelled to [[Nerrhavia's Fallen]] when he was young to learn from a famous [Alchemist] knowledgeable in transformation. The [Alchemist] traded his knowledge in exchange for using Saliss' body.<ref>{{VERef|Arcsinger's Memories – Interlude}}</ref> As an adventurer, he made his name there by slaying a nest of Sandworms alone, and surviving being eaten by one and having acid burns over eighty percent of his body. He killed more monsters in his first year as an adventurer than a Gold-rank team, and returned to Izril as one of the best solo Gold-ranks, right before the [[First Antinium War]].<ref name=":Saliss the Adventurer" />

Saliss earned his epithet during the Antinium Wars, by destroying an Antinium Army. During the [[Second Antinium War]], Saliss witnessed [[Wrymvr]] devastating a village and managed to escape with a surviving child, [[Shirka]]. Like [[Mihaela Godfrey|Mihaela]], he would survive Wrymvr's toxins in later engagements, though without permanent debilitating conditions due to his resistances, and his research would become the base for future cures against it and [[Flying Antinium]] toxins.<ref name=":Saliss the Adventurer" /> He would duel Wrymvr on his own on three seperate occasions in his carreer.<ref name=":2" />

He was involved in violent rebellious movements to fight back against the cities' oppression of Turnscales. However, due to the loss of his friends to reprisals and the fact that some of the people he fought where genuinely decent people following orders, he eventually stopped getting involved with rebellious groups and cut deals with Chaldion for the security of Pallass' Turnscale community.<ref name=":2" />

Saliss has only fought alongside Pallass' military twice in his career. Once was in an inter-city dispute against [[Manus]], in retaliation for the City of War poisoning him and his fellow rebels. The other time was at the yearly battle at the [[Bloodfields]] against the Humans of the north. He created a rain of acid and the humans retreated after eighteen minutes of fighting. After that, the Walled Cities have opted not to involve Saliss in warfare any more, and he's considered one of the reasons Pallass is no longer involved in inter-city warfare <ref name=":0" />

He's continued to adventure sporadically since becoming a Named-rank, though mainly worked in service to the Walled Cities for raids against the Antinium or destroying particularly dangerous monsters.<ref name=":Saliss the Adventurer" /> Known feats include the confirmed kills of two Old ones, and killing three other Named adventurers in combat.<ref name=":2" /> He reached level 50 when he made a potion of reverse ageing for the first time.<ref name=":1" />

Saliss regularly spends time in Pallass' prison cells when caught walking around naked. [[Rufelt]] and [[Xif]] both commented on this offhandedly, implying that Saliss rarely is clothed.<ref name="6.10" /><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/17/6-38/ Chapter 6.38]</ref>
