Background: Born on 6 August 1968, Salvador Francisco O'Hara was raised in a bilingual Spanish and English speaking family, his father coming from a family descended from Irish immigrants and his mother being descended from the early Spanish colonizers. His family were stable and middle class and Salvador received a good education. His father strongly disapproved of the military junta that had seized power but when Salvador graduated from high school his father urged him to join the military. Going through the military college, he graduated with a degree in international relations at the top of his class.
Salvador than joined the military intelligence corps. Under diplomatic cover, he was posted overseas first to Paris, than to Madrid and Buenos Aires and finally Washington DC. His main duty soon became the collection of intelligence on dissident groups and Calaverdean exiles, while also collecting information on various governments. Salvador earned a reputation for his effectiveness and for his willingness to go to great lengths to get what he wanted. Salvador never liked the regime and eventually he came to see the extent of it's tyranny. He became a mole, funneling information to the opposition about the junta. At the same time, he heard that his uncle had been killed by the junta for speaking out, further cementing his opposition to the regime and to authoritarianism in general. During his time in Washington, he obtained access to sensitive files detailing the nature of the CIA relationship with the junta. Rather than giving them to his superiors, he gave them to the exiles. The government became suspicious but didn't take action against him and upon returning to Calaverde in 1994, he was assigned to the command of a regiment in the army who were tracking rebel guerrillas near the Costa Rican border. When ordered to massacre a rebel encampment in 1995, he and his troops refused to do so.
As such, he was forced to flee to Costa Rica for mutiny and treason. Salvador than traveled on, eventually settling in Canada in Toronto. His father and mother were murdered in response. He began to organize funding and recruitment for various rebel groups. He also made efforts to thwart extremist groups, whom he considered to be nearly as dangerous as the government. Eventually, he became one of the most prominent members of the liberal opposition, occasionally visiting Calaverde in secret. When open conflict broke out in 2006, he returned to Calaverde permanently to fight the regime. Serving as head of intelligence for the new government forces from 2006 to 2008, Salvador used the skills he learned from serving the junta against the dictatorship. After this he served as a foreign envoy, serving as delegate to the UN and as an international spokesman for the revolutionary cause. Upon the war's end, he turned to elective politics and joined the Liberal Democratic Party.
