History
According to the end credits song, Salgexicon was born in dragon's blood and raised by a sorcerer.
Travelling alongside Crolax, Rumbo the Ranger, Ardus the Magnificent, Skrdjvurm, and Sir Michael in search of the Eternal Harp of Golden Dreams, Salgexicon rests in the Field of Trepidation after escaping the Cave of Ordeals. Upon Skrdjvurm discovering a treasure chest, he demands it to be opened and attempts to use magic to destroy the seal, only to fail. When the chest is opened, the group finds a video tape inside the chest(containing footage of Steam Powered Giraffe) and they watch.
Part way through, the tape falters and Salgexicon attempts to fix the VCR playing the tape and succeeds.
By the end of the film, Salgexicon declares the journey 'quite an adventure', only to question aloud who Jimmy Fallon is (who was mentioned by The Spine in an interview).

(Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon)
Born in dragon's blood
raised by a sorcerer
he learned the magic
Salgexicon
A tear from his eye
as his mentor died
teleported him to safety
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Now he fights evil with his best of dragons
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
They all have each other to the very end
Adventurer roll call!
Skrdjvum has a mustache
that's pretty much all there is to know about him
Rumbo the Ranger scouts ahead
You'll find that treasure soon, there's no doubt in his mind
Ardus the Magnificent smashes things up
he throws down his mace and things explode to the sky
There's Sir Michael who has a helmet
But he doesn't seem to wear it, he just carries it around
Then there's Crolax who never smiles
Except for that one time when they foundtheEternalHarpofGoldenDreams but not really
Then of course there's the leader of this group,
who needs no introduction
His deeds of greatness and compassion travel the land,
he is known all around and everywhere as
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Vanquishing evil wherever he goes
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Saving everybody from all the bad guys
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Save me, save us
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Sorcerer of great
Salgexicon
Salgexicon
You'll always be in our hearts
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
His tears of magic always save the day
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
A truer friend and companion there never was
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Sal-gex-icon and friends
The song was redone in 2016 to reflect the changes to the band and to be added to the album Quintessential. the new lyrics are:
(Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon, Salgexicon)
Born in dragon's blood
raised by a sorcerer
he learned the magic
Salgexicon
A tear from his eye
as his mentor died
teleported him to safety
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Now he fights evil with his best of friends
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
They all have each other to the very end
Adventurer roll call!
Scarla the war witch, slices and dices
Her magic is deadly, she’s also the sister of Salgexicon
Ardus the Magnificent smashes things up
he throws down his mace and things explode to the sky
Skurdgvrm the dwarf has a big axe
that's pretty much all there is to know about him
Then there’s Bessie the undead minotaur
She reeks of undead flesh and smells really bad,
but the others try not to say anything
And of course there's the leader of this group,
who needs no introduction
His deeds of greatness and compassion travel the land,
he is known all around and everywhere as
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Vanquishing evil wherever he goes
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Saving everybody from all the bad guys
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Save me, save us
Salgexicon, Salgexicon
Sorcerer of great
Salgexicon
Salgexicon
You'll always be in our hearts
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
His tears of magic always save the day
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
A truer friend and companion there never was
Salgexicon (Salgexicon)
Sal-gex-icon and friends
(and Bessie the Minotaur)
