'''Salem''' is one of the main antagonists in ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]''. He is first met relatively early in the game, in [[Watersong]].

=={{Icon|Tower}} Appearance==
Salem is a [[Raposa]] with grey fur. He wears a white mask that covers half of his face along with a black cloak and top hat, making his appearance very similar to that of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera Phantom of the Opera.]

== {{Icon|Book}} Story==
He became an infamous character within [[Watersong]] for having challenged [[Mayor (Position)|Mayor]] [[Rose]] to a singing contest. The wager: the loser's voice.

Salem cheats, and being bound by the [[Promise Conch]], Mayor Rose loses her voice. Salem then hides the conch, and without the power of song, the village begins to weaken. This was Salem's intention. When The [[Hero]] finds the conch and returns the Mayor's voice, Salem becomes furious, and reveals himself to be [[Wilfre]].

In [[Lavasteam]], Salem convinces [[Miney]] into becoming a king/dictator-like ruler, forcing his people to mine [[Banya Crystals]], though Salem continues to bully him into most of his decisions, like releasing the [[Giant Robosa]]. The [[Raposa]] tell Miney about Salem's true identity, and convince him to turn against Wilfre as well.

Another of Wilfre's disguises is [[Sock]], and both are only used in the sequel.
