Salkind is Mordea's seneschal, and an arrogant and contemptible man. The Avatar got a first impression of Salkind's character in Ultima VIII during Toran's execution. Speaking with him later, Salkind revealed himself to be extremely arrogant man who saw everyone other than the Tempest below himself. He was also revealed to sexually harass Aramina. Some time later, he discovered Bentic's research into the royal lineage and ordered him executed and Devon arrested, so that Mordea's secret (and his job) would stay safe. After the Avatar had spoken to Devon and Salkind about the reason for Devon's imprisonment, the seneschal told the hero to consult his logbook for information.
