Valence – The Right Hand Man

Commander Valence

Real Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Hometown: Unknown
Specialty: Unknown



Bio
Valence is a man of mystery, serving as the imposing second-in-command of the Rebel Army. Whereas the Rebels’ leader remains shrouded in secrecy to protect themself, Valence puts himself out on the frontlines, doing necessary dirty work and directly controlling The Diatribe.

Little is known about him or his past, but it seems Valence harbors an incredible grudge against Riker and Queen Nikole, and has an obsession with the concept of destiny. His orderly persona and cunning intellect belies his cruel and ruthless nature within. With little tolerance for petty insults and insubordination, he’s not above eviscerating a person on the spot, should they interfere with his grand plan. When he’s not plotting against the heroes, he enjoys a fine wine, and has a creepy fascination with smiles.

Eevie’s village is home to the Sun Seekers, an ancient tribe of Dracaneans who shun the use of Ethos and magic for anything other than basic life necessities. They live a rural life in a rustic setting on the southern claw of Dracanea. Through the course of the story though, a mysterious interloper makes his way to their home, looking to make light of their lifestyle. Can Eevie teach this joker a lesson? (Hint: Yes, probably.)
