Henry Saltonstall

"The needs of our great city of Columbia must come before the desires of any foreigner, whether they be enemy or friend. For I have looked into the future and one path is filled with amity and gold, and the other is fraught with the perils of a hostile and alien world."

- Saltonstall's speech

Saltonstall is an elderly politician who resides in Columbia. Judging by the posters found around Columbia, he is running for councilman of Ward 6. He wears a blue button-up shirt and red and white vertically striped pants, similar in style to that of Uncle Sam. He dons a friendly mutton chop mustache and carries a small badge with the colors of the American flag. He appears to be insane as he is found speaking to a crowd of empty chairs about the "importance of preserving the purity of Columbia." However, when the protagonist grabs a weapon, it's clear that Saltonstall might have some kind of evil inside of him, as not only his eyes, face, and voice change into something inhuman, but his promotional button shifts from that of a patriot to a communist. A moment after, he calls Charles to attack Booker, using Murder of Crows upon him. As Booker kills Charles, Saltonstall utilizes a Sky-Hook on the Sky-Line to escape him. The player plainly sees Saltonstall enter a cannon across the map, by some other likely trained AI, and fires on the player. The player then ziplines down to the cannon, momentarily hiding in a bar before coming back out and destroying the cannon that the player clearly saw Saltonstall enter.

Saltonstall is the only main antagonist shown in BioShock Infinite so far. The importance he attaches to his chauvinist ideology make him a politically charged enemy in the same vein as Andrew Ryan and Sofia Lamb.
