Thawing Out
Agent "Frosty" Saliard Foster is a crimefighter and UNTIL field operative working in Millennium City. He was discovered half-frozen in a glacier in the Australian territory of Antarctica in late 2012 by a visiting Canadian man. With no memory of what happened prior to his being trapped in the glacier, and no way of actually communicating with humans, Sal wandered the continent until he managed to hitch a ride on a boat heading to back to the Americas.
For two months, Sal wandered across the US before making his way to Millennium City, if not by sheer chance, as by this point, Sal had still yet to even learn English. Then, one cold morning in December, out behind a Westside gas station, Sal was discovered by a local policeman, Officer Daniel Foster. Daniel took the icy trespasser in, gave him a name, clothes on his back (which, in retrospect, did not do very much for the melting problem) and a place to stay. Daniel even paid a tutor to teach Sal how to understand English. Much later, Sal would ask Daniel exactly why he went to such lengths for someone who had yet to even speak a word to him. Daniel's reply to such a question would end up being the foundation for what drove Sal to become a hero.
"Because I wanted to."
After making a visit to a local inventor, Steelworker (not to be confused with the villainous Ironworker), and procuring a device, the HC-V Speaker System, allowing him to finally communicate with humans proper. Sal had constantly obsessed over becoming a police officer, following in Daniel's footsteps. However, the discovery of Sal's latent ice powers lead Daniel to suggest that Sal aim higher, and look for where he could use his powers to the fullest. With this, Sal finally made the decision to take the plunge and join UNTIL.
