History
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 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.
The Interview
UNTIL Interview Document 033-061 - Name of interviewer has been concealed for security purposes
UNTIL Interview room - Interviewer █████ ████████ waits at the table. Interviewee FOSTER, SALIARD enters shortly. Interviewee quickly seats himself, and the interview begins.
█████ ████████: Please state your name. Last name, then first.
INTERVIEWEE: Foster, Saliard.
█████ ████████: Mister Foster, you're here seeking permanent employment with UNTIL, correct?
INTERVIEWEE: Correct.
█████ ████████: Now, before anything else, there are a few issues with the form you filled out previously.
INTERVIEWEE: Like what?
█████ ████████: Well, first of all, "I dunno" is not a suitable answer for the species field, and, we did a background check, and it is extremely unlikely you are related to comedian and actor Jackie Vernon. Physically impossible, even.
INTERVIEWEE: Well, that second one was a mistake on my part, but, as for the first one, I really didn't know what to put down. The trail's gone kind of cold on that one.
█████ ████████: I'm sorry, Mister Foster, do you think this is some sort of joke? Because I am not lying when I say that this is an issue that could seriously affect your future employment in this organization.
INTERVIEWEE: Of course, of course. Sorry. It's just that I really just could not answer the question. I don't know what I am.
█████ ████████: You don't know what you are.
INTERVIEWEE: Correct.
Ice Age
Operation Bearhunter was an UNTIL-PRIMUS joint anti-superterrorist operation that took place in September of 2013. The Bearcave, a terrorist organization led by the villainous Beast-Tooth, had raided a Canadian government warehouse, stole a though-dormant experimental weapon, and hopped the Yukon-Alaska border. Their final destination? Anchorage. Bearcave planned to use the weapon as a bargaining chip with which to negotiate the release of several dangerous criminals, including villains Sal would later find himself face-to-face with, such as Komodo Kane or Nurlak'Gor.
Sal was part of a team made up of superpowered UNTIL and PRIMUS operatives charged with acting as one of the main fighting forces against Bearcave forces. When they eventually clashed outside of the Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness reserve, it was in a day-long skirmish that left thirty-two UNTIL and PRIMUS operatives dead, and countless more Bearcave soldiers. The fighting only ceased when Sal managed to cause an avalanche than ended up wiping out the majority of the Bearcave's forces, finally necessitating a retreat.
