Incubus

Overview
Daemon Salamangka and his family’s flower farm in Zambales were devastated by a powerful typhoon. They were left with little resources to enjoy sustainable lives, so Daemon ventured to the city of Manila on a quest to earn a living and return riches for his family to prosper.

Manila greeted him sourly. Upon his arrival, Daemon struggled to nail a job without proper legal documents, and he resorted to unlikely means. This led him to be entangled in a terrible crime, of which he perpetrated in an act of self-defense. The violence ultimately caught the attention of the White Syndicate.

The shady organization employed Daemon as a member of their group. Daemon’s street-smarts and quick wit benefitted his job as a thieving and deceiving pawn for the White Syndicate. He would be tasked to cajole or meet with the organization’s unruly clients, like the infamous Gators Gang.

As time passed, Daemon learned to dig his nails into a life of crime, all the while plotting to steal the White Syndicate’s money for himself and the welfare of his family. Within his years as their agent, he rose among their ranks and gained the moniker Incubus after his penchant for manipulation.

Early Years
Rosauro Salamangka and Angel Palinlang were in a long-term relationship. Angel gave birth to two sons, Daemon Salamangka and his younger brother Djinn Salamangka. Rosauro owns an agri-farm that features mango trees, sampaguita, and celosia plants. Daemon and Djinn grew up within this environment, learning to work a business of harvest and tourism from the ground up.

Ownership of the fields went to Angel following the passing of Rosauro. Daemon’s father died of lung cancer, an effect of hazardous chemical fertilizer exposure. With her sons still in grade school, Angel managed to carry their academic fees through secondary education. This stability would all change after an unprecedented tragedy.

The Typhoon
Around 2012, a massive tropical cyclone swept through Central Luzon. The Salamangka agri-farm was directly affected, and the fields were destroyed by the strong winds and drenching rainfall. Daemon’s home was flooded, and most of his family’s belongings were stripped.

Their means of livelihood were impaired, so Daemon and Djinn had to quit school. Rehabilitation took years, bearing little fruit of income. Tensions rose between Daemon and his kin as he resorted to gambling, drinking, and other proclivities to cope. Making matters worse, Angel, Daemon’s mother, had fallen ill.

In his 20s, Daemon opted to travel to Metro Manila to find a job and pay for the bills of his bedridden mother. Daemon’s grandmother from his father’s side, Rosario, disliked his choice, claiming that Manila "teemed with temptation." He left anyway, leaving his grandmother and brother behind to maintain the crops.
