Born in the city of Dekoa, Salzaar was the fourth born, and second son in his family. His mother wished him all the best and had him enrolled in a special academy for men with the intent of securing him a position as an attache or an aide to a prominent woman of influence. Salzaar, who was always reading about the outside world, decided that a life of servitude under old ideals while appealing to some, was not what he desired in life. He booked passage off-world as soon as he was of age even though it cost him his relationship with his immediate family. He wandered the quadrant for several years trying to find a place for himself. He tried careers as a deckhand on freighters, as a longshoreman at a cargo port, as a gas miner in the upper reaches of a volatile gas giant, and eventually as a clerk for a minor commercial enterprise. He discovered enjoyment in the art of trade, especially between economies that were post-scarcity. He found pleasure in the exchange of less tangible things such as research, intellectual property, and stellar charts. He also relished the opportunity to match wits with others who had grown up in the movement of goods for the exchange of other goods. Currency might have been an abstract construct in the Federation, but goods needed to flow and Salzaar became quite proficient at making that flow happen. | Born in the city of Dekoa, Salzaar was the fourth born, and second son in his family.

With some glowing references in hand, he found himself inducted into the lowest echelon of the behemoth of the United Federation of Planets Trade and Economic Outreach Bureau. It took years of hard work, but he clawed his way slowly up the ladder of progression through sheer force of determination and hard work. He faced stiff competition from much better educated, younger peers but he continued until reaching his current position as a junior trade representative. For the first time he had the autonomy to create and manage beneficial economic relationships in his area of responsibility. Admittedly that area was about as far from the core as one could get but he was willing to take on the challenge and show that no circumstance could stop him from doing what he was born to do. | ||
