The Shadowhunters' Wiki

"Sallows" was the moniker taken up by a satyr, an Unseelie faerie, who ran a shop of oddities at the East End of London.

Biography[]

The Shadowhunters Gabriel Lightwood and Cecily Herondale were assigned by Charlotte to procure ingredients for Magnus Bane from Sallows. Sallows recognized the pair as Nephilim—Gabriel with his rune marks and Cecily through her resemblance to Will, who was also a regular customer when he was running errands for Magnus.

When he learned that Gabriel was the son of Benedict Lightwood, he, unaware that Benedict had died, produced some of his fathers orders, particularly what seemed to be a demonic Kama Sutra of sorts, for Gabriel to pay for and take home. Shocked and humiliated, Gabriel threw Sallows out of the window, chased him down the street and hurled him into the canal, though Gabriel claimed that he did this because he showed inappropriate images to a lady.

Gabriel went on to take the parcel of Magnus' ingredients and other objects from his shop. A frustrated Sallows later returned to his shop and was fixing his windows when Aloysius Starkweather arrived. Aloysius interrogated him regarding the revenge the faeries took on his family decades before, torturing him with cold iron, to which the fey are weak, in the process. It was through him that Aloysius was finally able to confirm that his granddaughter, Adele, was replaced with the sickly human child Elizabeth Moore.

Sallows soon got into a fight with Aloysius. Sallows, seemingly aware of Mortmain's plans, taunted Aloysius that Tessa would be the Downworlders' vengeance against the Nephilim. Though Aloysius skimped on the details as he told the story to Charlotte, it was heavily implied that Aloysius murdered Sallows that night.[1] His shop eventually came to be owned by the warlock Hypatia Vex.[2]

Physical description[]

Sallows, being a satyr, had goat-like features. Aside from his trimmed beard and pointed jaw, Sallows had cloven hooves, neatly curling horns, rectangular pupils, and yellow eyes, half-hidden behind his spectacles.
