Altoná Salus is a merchant from Lontinâ in south-east Chálysoña. He is the founder of the pact, and the owner of the Lontinâ Déspada trading company.

He is the husband of Jylna, and father to Lorisá, Maritei and Janyako.

Early Life
Altoná was born as the youngest child of Esander and Isiela Salus, a pair of travelling middle-class tailors. While his elder sibilings were tutored in Lontinâ, his mother taught him herself, using the excessive amount of time travelling to nurture his explorative tendencies.

During the earlier years of his life he helped his parents with the more meaniel tasks of trading, moving and making note wares while at home and helping with the wagons while on the move. In his early teens he was also responsible for keeping track of profits and purchasing new apparel for later use. It was during this time he acquired both a taste for exploration and his proficiency with money. His father often swore their fortune improved when Altoná was given charge of managing their income.

In his later teens, he ultimately leaned towards his explorative and curious side, keeping a journal of his 'adventures' on their travels. His writings included notes on creatures he encountered, with detailed descriptions, rough sketches and behavioural patterns. While nothing more than a hobby, this journal would later prove vital in his induction into the College of Lontinâ, one of the few emerging learning institutions in the imperium.
