"Those who die for libertas are martyrs. Heroes. Remember their names, and count yourself honored to fight for the same cause. ”
— Salvador Garcia
Born in Spain in the late 1800s, Salvador Garcia was the son of Spanish farmers. In young adulthood, Garcia joined various movements occurring Spain. During his tenure in one of these groups, Garcia was beaten by the police, and while he would not recover, his savior appeared in the form of a vampire named Ferdinand. Ferdinand offered Garcia both immortality and to keep fighting oppression, and Salvador accepted.
Now a vampire, Garcia joined the Brujah in fighting back against Ventrue controlled Spain. In a successful attack on the Prince of Barcelona, Garcia's sire was destroyed, and with him the Anarch movement of Spain. Garcia promptly fled to the United States, making his way across the country and coming to rest in Los Angeles in the 1940's.
Along with Jeremy MacNeil and other notable Anarchs of the time, he plotted the Second Anarch Revolt. When the revolt finally came to fruition, Garcia led a party on Prince Don Sebastian Juan Dominguez's home on the night of the revolt. It's claimed that Garcia was able to kill the Prince in one-on-one combat, and this became a rallying tale for the Anarchs, as Garcia killed a vampire three generations below him.
After the revolt, Garcia authored the Status Perfectus, and since then, the anarch has traveled abroad helping various revolutionary groups in their struggles. During his travels, he witnessed the inefficience and disorder of the Anarchs and came to belive that they were just another bunch of thugs, nothing better than the Sabbat. MacNeil hindered him to go against Mohammed al-Muthlim and the Crypt's Sons, who Garcia believed to be a Sabbat pack that tried to infiltrate the Free State. This made him very pessimistic for the Free States future, until the first Kuei-jin arrived in 1999.
The Cathayans promised him to wipe out the Crypt's Sons in exchange for his loyalty. Garcia, who didn't want to risk his men's unlife against the foreigners who wanted to cooperate, accepted the deal. He came to believe that the New Promise Mandarinate was a better chance for equality than the Free State had ever been, for it avoided the old gangland feudalism that had dominated the Free State.
Garcia has learned a great deal about the Cathayan culture, but believes them to be religious nutjobs. He does not share their belief in the Yama Kings or the coming of the Sixth Age.
