[Personality] 
In a word, Sarus is a snake. Almost literally and in terms of his personality. He is spiteful and has no problems being deceitful, snide,cold and has very little empathy in most cases. 
Despite this Sarus always had a soft spot for Old Fritz due to the compassion he showed to him, he is also protective over most of the others in the orphanage, especially those who were weaker than him. Although he'd sooner die than admit it. He also still has the curiosity of a child, especially for magic and alchemy and becomes excitable and often odd when working under pressure or doing something he is passionate about.

[History] 
Sarus was born to the son of a conman in the Pale, his father was good at his job and taught Sarus that deceit was the only way to get ahead in life. For several years Sarus lived a fairly comfortable life, despite his father often giving him the cold shoulder and left him to his own devices. However, this peace was not to last forever, one night when Sarus was 9, his father did not return home. Eventually he found out that his father had conned a gang out of a large sum of money and had been murdered for. As the gang members were at his house to take Sarus' life next, he fled to Dirt town and worked as a small time con artist. Eventually Old Fritz took him in after he had attempted to scam him, Fritz had apparently saw straight through the ploy and offered him a place to stay. Considering Sarus was homeless at this point, he happily accepted. In the 5 years he spent at the orphanage, Sarus learned as much as he could from what was provided and became extremely knowingly of alchemy and was able to easily brew potions for illnesses or poisons if the situation called for it. 

After Old Fritz recent death, Sarus firmly believes that the kids from the orphanage should stick together and that,with enough cunning and planning, they could hold their own against the gangs that inhabit the great city.

Poisoned Body
Sarus' body fluids are poisonous in a variety of different ways. His saliva is mild but if contact with skin is made, it will cause a large amount of irritation on the skin, if it enters the body it may cause muscle spasms and at worst loss of consciousness. 
His blood contains a hallucinogen that can give a person vibrant visions if it enters the body, this can range from mind boggling fantasies to horrifying nightmares.
He is also capable of producing a powerful neurotoxin in his gut which is stored in his fangs that could paralyze a man if it enters his bloodstream. This toxin generally requires Sarus to bite his target to get it into their bloodstream.
