Salvatore Moreau (Altered)

Salvatore's overall past life

He is a member of the Four Houses serving under Mother Miranda, along with Alcina Dimitrescu, Karl Heisenberg, and Donna Beneviento. By far the most heavily mutated and shunned of the four lords, Moreau calls the village's reservoir his home, which also acts as his ground for experimentation.

Salvatore's rebirth

After salvatore died in his previous life, he was wandering around the afterlife until a strange light enveloped his body, blinding him as a result. When he opens his eyes he was on the shore of myrtle beach, that's not the only thing he noticed, he was a normal person however he had a pair of gills around his neck meaning he was reborn as a man who is part merman since he still has legs, at least he is able to thrive on land.

Salvatore's career

Salvatore went to medical school to further educate himself on medicine, human biology, (ironically)marine biology and animal biology. Once he got his degree he became a medical professional in both human and animal biology while using his ability to breathe underwater making him a part-time top notch marine biologist. His medical expertise has made him one of the best doctors in all of Horry County, South Carolina. His patients love him and his work so much they give him gifts every single time they come for a scheduled visit.

Past Biography

Not much is known about Salvatore's past, but he is a member of the Moreau family, a noble family that made alliances with the Dimitrescu, Beneviento, and Heisenberg family in the village. It's also implied that he or his family are physicians, as his reservoir has a clinic stationed there. He was kidnapped by Miranda, a biologist who wanted to find a perfect vessel for her late daughter Eva. However, Miranda found that the Cadou parasite barely bonded with Salvatore, and also noted that his brain function was surprisingly low. As a result of his mental impairment and response to the parasite, Miranda decided to make him a member of the Four Houses to serve her. Becoming a member, Salvatore became a co-ruler of the village alongside Alcina Dimitrescu, Karl Heisenberg, and Donna Beneviento. The parasite and mold mutated Salvatore drastically, causing him to appear to have a hunchback that was covered in tumor-like substances. He would also be forced to live near water, as the mutation gave him aquatic-like abilities and found that water would keep his condition secure. Due to his insecurities, Salvatore would have a cape placed around his back, but was still considered hideous for his mutation. As a result of his appearance and insecurities, Salvatore would isolate himself at his family's reservoir, but yearned for the approval of Mother Miranda. Wanting to show himself to be a good son to Miranda, he would experiment on villagers at his family's clinic, but with no success as they turned into Lycans. Mother Miranda would soon learn that the bioweapon, Eveline, was destroyed, but that Ethan and Mia Winters had a daughter named Rosemary, who carried the infection. Seeing that Rosemary could be a perfect vessel for Eva, Miranda kidnapped the child and separated the infant into fragments. She gave Salvatore a flask that contained Rose's arms, and tasked him with guarding it. Moreau feared that it the ceremony was a success, he would be disowned by Miranda and his services would be no longer needed. He first appeared during the meeting with Alcina, Karl and Donna as Ethan was captured by Heisenberg. After Mother Miranda gave Ethan over to Heisenberg, Salvatore watched Ethan be forced into a show where he fought for his life while being attacked by Karl's machines and Lycans. Salvatore returned to his reservoir to guard his flask, but Ethan managed to kill Alcina and Donna, and collected the flask while Moreau was watching television. Salvatore begged Ethan to not steal the flask, and attempted to inform Winters that Miranda was planning on bringing her dead daughter through Rose. However, Salvatore saw an opportunity to use his enzymes to prevent Ethan from escaping, and mocked Winters for speaking too much before leaving his room. While keeping Ethan trapped, Moreau saw that the Hound Wolf Squad had infiltrated his reservoir, and turned into his monster to kill them. He failed, however, and reached to Ethan, telling him that the exit was underwater and that Miranda was already preparing to ceremony. Moreau proceeded to transform back into his monster form, and attempted to kill Ethan, but failed as Winters managed to release the water from the reservoir. Salvatore continued to pursue Ethan, blaming him for making Miranda not love him, and also used his acidic vomit during the battle. He was eventually defeated, and screamed out for Miranda before his body expanded and imploded into flesh, blood and acid. Salvatore's actions were in vain, as Ethan managed to kill Mother Miranda and save his daughter, but sacrificed himself to save his family and Hound Wolf Squad from the Megamycete.

Past Appearance

Of the four lords, Moreau is the least human, due to being the only one of them that successfully bonded with the Cadou parasite. His skin is a sickly, pale green-grey, with a prominent hunched back courtesy of the large growths and incredibly short stature, his hair gone save for a few stringy black clumps. Moreau's hands and feet are webbed much like a toad, with his teeth being pointed fangs, alongside gills on his neck. In an attempt to hide his deformities, Moreau wears a full body cloak and robe, alongside a hood adorned with a crown of bones. Following his transformation, Moreau becomes a massive semi-aquatic monster resembling both a fish and a salamander, with dozens of bulging black eyes, a maw that split into four separate pieces, and its tongue being Moreau's original body.

Past Personality

Moreau is characterized by his weak and submissive personality. He is generally disliked by the other lords, and yearns for approval and acceptance, so he is desperate to please Mother Miranda so he can feel loved by her. He seeks to be her favorite "child", and is therefore devastated when he suspects that Rose will take that position and that he will therefore be discarded by her. His intellect is impaired as it is noted to be "surprisingly low" by Mother Miranda, and he has a somewhat childish personality and vernacular. It is however unknown if he was born like that or if it is a side-effect of the Cadou transplantation. Despite appearing ridiculously dumb and gullible, Moreau is still capable of some trickery. When Ethan snatches one of Rose's fragments from right under his nose, Salvatore feigns sobbing and talks to Ethan long enough to block his way out with the substance and later floods the exit of the reservoir to prevent Ethan’s escape. Furthermore, Moreau was able to experiment on the local villagers with Cadou and even had the imagination to inject one subject with wolf’s blood, creating the Vârcolac, although Moreau viewed it as a personal pet and failed to restrain it properly. After undergoing severe mutations, he becomes excited and delusional, often exclaiming with glee and trying to show the full extent of his powers to Miranda by needlessly jumping in and out of the water, demonstrating the amount of pride he has now that he's not inferior to the other lords. During the boss battle, he's more concerned about how Mother Miranda perceives him and whether she loves him or not. Although determined to kill Ethan to gain respect, Moreau still displays his submissive personality even in his monstrous form and reacts in a pleading and desperate tone when harmed, claiming that he doesn’t want to die and begging Ethan to stop. His final words are a desperate cry for his “mother” Miranda to help him.

Past Powers & Abilities

Unlike the other four lords, Moreau's body bonded with the Cadou parasite successfully. However, this resulted in Moreau being transformed into a hideous fish-like monster with gills, a swim bladder, webbed hands and feet, a hunched back and a deformed face. His cell growth also led to large parts of his reservoir being coated in thick, gooey enzymes that can only be destroyed with explosives. He became able to manipulate the enzyme mass throughout his hideout at will, making large portions of it manifest out of nowhere. When transformed, Moreau can vomit large amounts of green acid and later evolves into a cyclopic, fish-like creature capable of performing huge leaps out of the water, considerable swimming speed and can devour the protagonist whole in one bite. Once out of the water, he's a little less mobile, but can still crawl around using his humanoid arms and attacks by ramming his massive body into Ethan or trying to bite him. In addition, Moreau's only vulnerable spot is his humanoid body located inside the beast's mouth, which is quite durable and can take a lot of damage, while his exterior form is practically impervious to the ordinary ammunition.

New Appearance

When Salvatore was reborn he had the body of a middle aged man, since he is a semi-merman he has scales on his arms and legs along with gills on around his neck.

New Personality Traits

As time passed, Salvatore became more mature but still maintains his submissive nature making him not just kind but also gentle. Through his career as a doctor/veterinarian/marine biologist he learned to give himself some self worth but still cries a bit when his patients give him gifts since he never had this type of affirmation in his past life.

Past crimes

The crimes Salvatore committed in his past life are unethical experimentation, bioterrorism, assualt, murder and torture. All these crimes now haunt Salvatore in the form of night terrors that force him awake at random.

Current Powers & Abilities

Since Salvatore was reborn he can no longer transform into a monster but he can breathe underwater and withstand the crushing depths of the ocean, however he has developed a irrational fear of the dark after a accident during a expedition into the mariana trench.

Old Relations

In Salvatore's old life he was one out of the five members of Mother Miranda's so called "family". The family is made up of Salvatore himself, Alcina Dimitrescu the sadistic aristocrat, Karl Heisenberg the egotistical engineer, Donna Benviento the mentally-ill doll maker and finally Mother Miranda the obsessive leading member of the family. His so called "siblings" don't respect him and call him names, however back then Salvatore has done his hardest to get affirmations from everyone especially Mother Miranda but now he no longer has any need for such neglected approval in his new life in this world.

Biography Introduction

Salvatore Moreau (サルヴァトーレ・モロー, saruvatōre morō) was a mutant human who lived in a Eastern European mountain range. Presumably the last surviving member of the Moreau family, he resided at an abandoned reservoir until his death in 2021. Shortly before the arrival of Ethan Winters, Moreau attended a ritual in an abandoned cave church south-west of the village, during which Ethan's daughter, Rose, was crystallized by Miranda as ensurance for a ceremony which would revive her true daughter. Charged with guarding a flask containing Rose's remains, Moreau worried he would be abandoned by Miranda once she resurrected her true daughter, but was determined to protect the flask due to Miranda and the other house Lords looking down on him. Upon arriving at the reservoir, Ethan did not see Moreau as a threat and casually explained he was taking the flask from him. Moreau begged him to give it back, fearing Miranda and the other house Lords would disown him as soon as it became known, but when Winters refused, Moreau attempted to trap him by vomiting up mucus-like enzymes blocking the exit. Despite this, Ethan quickly escaped the reservoir and made his way to the windmills, only to once again encounter Moreau. Attempting to attack Ethan in his more monstrous sea monster form, Moreau cornered him after destroying the Hound Wolf Squad's station, taunting him that the only way out of the reservoir was underwater and that Miranda was already preparing for the ceremony. Vomiting large amounts of green acid, Moreau retreated into the water as he underwent further uncontrollable mutations, his original body now appearing in the mouth of his new form. As Moreau attempted to consume Ethan, he was unable to prevent him from draining all of the reservoir's water, and proceeeded to pursue him into a nearby valley, where he expressed hope that he would defeat Ethan and make Miranda proud of him. However, as Moreau's body greatly inflated, he exploded in a mixture of flesh, guts, and acid, leaving only his crystallized remains behind.
