Señor Arasibo Salgado is a resident of the Barony of Calafia. He is affectionately known by many in the Kingdom and the Barony as either Hector or by his stage name Silenus of Mycenae. He spent over a decade attending SCA events going only by his mundane name, and another decade as Silenus of Mycenae. A sobriquet he maintains as a stage persona.

Arasibo is a bard, socialite, and carouser who loves poetry, storytelling, and making new friends. He is launching his own theater encampment named, La Caverna Ursa.

Persona

Taino-Spanish (He/Him)

Actor Poet Playwright Courtesan

The son of a Spaniard and a Taino woman (Caribbean Arawak), born in the town of Arecibo in 1560, a mestizo who left Borique (Puerto Rico) to pursue his dreams as a sailor, actor, singer, playwright, and poet. He spent some time serving as a deckhand on an English freebooter vessel where he met his companions Byron and Otamr. Eventually they all decided to retire from sailing and become full time stagehands and actors in Iberia. For a time they drifted from theater to theater and then became involved with a circle of Courtesans. These ladies provided Arasibo with opportunities to be a handsome escort and bed warmer for powerful men. With the funds from his various Patrons they opened their own theater company, La Caverna Ursa. The theater has recently gained patronage from the Spanish Crown for their spectacular play: The Golden Flower, a colorful comedy based on a Taino folktale.
