Salin was a druid of great power and wisdom, according to the I'kliat. At some point, however, he went mad, lost a great deal of his power, and set up a highly militaristic clan of goblins, the ThornClan. His keep was the focus of Season One, although it was actually the I'kliat who attacked the caravans, and the FrostClan that kidnapped the merchants.
Salin was killed at the end of Season One by Tierney, who then took the name Thornbane. He appeared again in the Twingate Graphic Novel series, when Tierney accidentally fell into another dimension. In the AlternateReality, Salin was still alive, and was in fact a powerful force trying to save humanity from the Ta'bar'pur. He died while leading an attack on the creatures in "And Then There Were Two...".

Whether this has any meaning or is just the raving of a madman has yet to be determined.
