Salvator Scream has built a reputation as a painter of the macabre. His morbidly fascinating work has drawn the patronage of some of Korvosa’s nobles as well as that of the masses, who have seen his backdrop paintings at Exemplary Execrables.

Laori Vaus claims his work is rich in themes relevant to the faith of Zon-Kuthon.

Salvator is presently a captive of the Emperor of Old Korvosa. However, prior to his capture he met repeatedly with Vencarlo Orisini and may know what happened to the fencing master. Furthermore, Laori discovered the blood-stained badge of the missing seneschal, Neolandis Kalepopolis, in Salvator’s home.
