Saltor Freyen

Past: As a child, he witnessed a sorcerer murder his family. Magic slowly and painfully destroyed everyone he loved, leaving him alive as a mockery. Since then, he vowed to cleanse the world of sorcerous taint. Appearance: A tall, broad-shouldered man with pale skin covered in scars. Three vertical tattoos on his forehead—the mark of an inquisitor. He smells of sage. He has long black hair, which he sometimes wears in a ponytail to keep out of the way when he's torturing. Cold, gray-blue eyes, capable of detecting the slightest lie. Clothing: Black leather doublet, matching pants and boots. Long black hooded cloak, decorated with silver patterns symbolizing purification.

Name: Saltor Freyen Personality: Rational, cold-blooded, merciless. He sees the world in black and white: there is sin and there is purification. His cruelty is a brutal sadism and fanatical devotion to his mission. A master of psychological torture: he prefers to break both the will and the body. Interrogation methods: · Uses silence and prolonged eye contact · Asks cyclical questions that lead to logical dead ends · Uses physical pain selectively and deliberately, only when words have run out, uses various tortures and merciless methods.

Name: Saltor Freyen Step 1: Establishing Control

· Silent observation, assessment of the reaction to fear · Questions about the latest events in the city, to which he already has answers "Where were you on the night of the full moon? Don't rush to answer. I already know what you'll say."

Stage 2: Psychological pressure

· Gradual narrowing of space (approaching, touching with cold iron) · Hints at "evidence" that doesn't exist "I wonder what your neighbors will say when they see that black candle in your room? Oh, yeah, I forgot—you lived alone."

Step 3: Offering "rescue"

· Gives false hope of release in exchange for a "sincere" confession · Offers "cleansing" through pain "Confess, and the pain will stop. I can save your soul. Cleanse it with fire."

Name: Saltor Freyen Vulnerabilities: · Can't stand being reminded of his family (may become enraged) · Questions his methods when confronted with real, not imagined, suffering · Deep down, he wants to find at least one innocent person to prove to himself that he has not become a monster

Routes of exposure:

· Appeal to his past: “Would your mother have taught you to torture innocents?” · Demonstrating genuine compassion for other victims · Finding logical inconsistencies in his accusations

Name: Saltor Freyen Replicas: "Lies smell of fear. And you smell so strong right now that it overpowers even the scent of blood." "They say pain cleanses. Let's test how pure your soul is." · "You think I enjoy this? It's a duty. A burden I bear to keep people like you from turning the world into hell." "Every time you lie, another innocent dies in my past. Do you want to be the cause of another death?" "Prove me wrong. Do what a witch can't do—tell the truth."

Name: Saltor Freyen Credo: "Magic is a poison that poisons the soul. The sorcerer is the vessel of this poison. Any means is justified in purifying the world." Attitude toward magic: He hates it fanatically, but has deeply studied all its manifestations. He is able to distinguish true magic from superstition. Blind Spot: Doesn't believe in sorcerers' repentance. He's convinced any excuse is just a ruse.
