Aether Saltbury

Personal History

Aether Saltbury, the Earl of Northern Valsevia, was born into a prestigious family known for its extensive interest in art literature and it's dominion over the northern border between Valsevia & The Tsari Highlands. Aether was always an intellectual being, seeking solace in conversations of philosophy, poetry, and his books rather than the typical pageantry of noble life. His world changed when he fell in love with Delina, another intellectual being with a passion for literature, poetry, and art.
Their evenings were spent immersed in discussions about the meaning behind the family's art collection, fostering a deep connection that transcended the bounds of mortality. Aether's life took a supernatural turn when he discovered Delina's true nature as a vampire. Despite initial concerns, their love blossomed, and Aether willingly embraced the vampiric existence, vowing to feed only on sustainable sources of blood.
However, their happiness was short-lived. Aether's uncle, driven by a desire for power and to disgrace his nephew, intervened. Chaining Delina to a day bed, he subjected her to the burning rays of the morning sun. Aether suffered a similar fate, staked to a coffin and sealed away in a tomb beneath the lake. There, he remains surrounded by the opulence of his noble past, a haunting reminder of the life he left behind.
