Salvadore Texas is an NPC in Arknights. He is first introduced as a background NPC in Il Siracusano before appearing as a minor supporting character in Prelude Suite: Old Wounds.
Background[edit]
Salvadore, who was considered a sentimental man by many, was Cellinia Texas' grandfather and the don of the now-defunct Famiglia Texas, once considered the most powerful amongst the Columbian famiglie. While not affiliated with Siracusa's Grey hall, Salvadore earned their respect due to his actions and perseverance. He was one of the many Siracusan immigrants that came to Columbia following its independence in 1019, taking part of the early pioneering efforts over the undeveloped land. The Texases rooted themselves in Columbia, but Salvadore never forgot about his homeland.[1] In fact, he always vowed to uphold Siracusa's famiglie tradition and repay Signora Sicilia's trust by any means necessary. While his relationship with his son, Giuseppe, was conflicted, Salvadore was particularly fond of Celinia. In 1088, he sent Celinia to Siracusa, so she could familiarize with the country's traditions and remember her roots. During that time, she was fostered by the Saluzzos.[2][3]
He was also the love interest of Vivienne Rossati, Donna of Famiglia Rossati, even though he murdered her father. Following this incident, Vivienne decided to leave him and move to another city, where she would marry another man and start a new life, yet she still remembered him up until her passing. At some point, Vivienne's son, who became the don of a certain family, entered in a disagreement with the Texases. Luckily, this was resolved peacefully by Vivienne, with the two parties becoming allies afterwards.[4]
However, tragedy struck seven years ago, in 1092. Giuseppe, who previously took radical measures such as opening factories for mass counterfeit banknote printing and murdering several Columbian businessmen, attempted to take over the Texases and declare independence from Siracusa. He shot Salvadore with a Blacksteel gun he bought, and stabbed him to death while he was unconscious. In response to his treason, the Signora sent an elite team of the Dodici Famiglie to raid the Texas manor in Columbia, and the family's name was completely erased in one night. During the purge, Giuseppe was then killed by Cellinia, who had enough of living a mafiosa's lifestyle; Indeed, it was her who set fire to the Texas estate shortly after killing her father, wiping the slate clean.[5][6][7]
