It is stated that the Salesman works for higher powers who seek to transform the mortal world to resemble "where they come from", implied to be Hell or some other demonic realm. He travels to dying towns and gives strange powers to desperate people; this usually results in these people inadvertently destroying their towns and killing their families and neighbors. One such person that the Salesman bestowed powers upon was the Hound, who now serves as his associate.
Creation
