Salem is native of a small, highly-religious village in the countryside. He moved away with his childhood friend Jake because they had fallen in love with each other, and wouldn't be able to live their relationship openly if they stayed there. They moved together to the big city, and Salem started general studies while working part-time.

The twink quickly got accustomed to the big city ways, with the noise and the technology, and relishes in it, quickly becoming more sophisticated than Jake, who mostly stuck to his old school ways.

Salem is a cheerful, excitable young man who has a very positive attitude and loves trying out new things. He's thinking about becoming a nurse, teacher or social worker.
