Salem Ave - Darth Callidus
41 :: Arkanian/The Alliance of Free Planets :: Minister of State
Currently on: ???


Character Background


During the Clone Wars era, young Salemescro was trained as a Jedi Padawan.
In his thirties, Salem rose to political prominence on Onderon - first as an adviser to the royal family, and later becoming the Prime Minister.
Salem brokered an alliance between Onderon and the Hapes Consortium, by way of a marriage between Razielle Shadana and Crown Prince Tristan Alastor.


Raw Material

Publicly, Salem is a supporter of the Alliance of Free Planets, yet he tempers this with a healthy degree of Arkanian skepticism.
Privately, Salem has designs on the Galaxy. His ultimate aim is to whether directly or otherwise usher in an era of stability and security, free from political squabbles and the moral arbitration of the Jedi.
Salem is a control freak! He relies on the stability of the plans he has put into motion - yet the higher he rises, the further he is from many of the people who he relies upon.


Plot Ideas

Trying to balance matters of State with his commitment to his apprentices. For a long time, Salem has been shuffling his apprentices around the Galaxy into key positions in the Galaxy. Now that he had gained a foothold in the Alliance, it would be interesting to see how his student's reacted to this.
Who trained Salem in the Dark Side of the Force? This is something that has never been revealed / explored...
Salem has dealt with a lot of people in his rise to prominence, many of whom know or suspect his dual-identity as Darth Callidus. Would anyone try to blackmail him? What would happen if they tried??
The Hapes Consortium is a powder-keg waiting to go off, especially after the recent attempts to slander and potentially assassinate the Queen.



Existing Relationships



Many and varied. Salem has a number of apprentices strewn about through the galaxy.



Current Plots




None to speak of. Most recently, he acted as Darth Callidus in defending the Hapan Palace (http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?55383-Abandonment-10-045) against an attack by Lilaena De'Ville. As part of this, he staged a defacement of the Hapan throne room, to give the illusion that the attack had been perpetrated by traitors to the Queen.

It might be cool to write out our first political encounter at some point.

Perhaps the Alliance Minister of State and the Moff of Corellia should have a summit somewhere, at some point, where Salem can insist that the Alliance does not condone the acts of terrorism being committed on Corellian soil in the slightest, cross my heart, pinkie swear; and Delgado absolutely doesn't think you're lying out of your arse.

We start out on opposite sides, but over the time we slowly become such good friends that the audience starts projecting romantic subtext and we end up with a whole bunch of 80s power ballad Salgado ship videos on youtube? :uhoh

Or, y'know. Just do some flashbacks here and there later on to fill in the blanks, w/e.
