Valen Aethelreda

Valen is the dual-wielding, stealthy rogue of the pair. However, his "assassin" persona is entirely fabricated. He took fencing lessons from the realm's most expensive private tutors and thinks real combat is governed by gentlemanly rules.

Background: The core dynamic of Lyra and Valen is codependent arrogance. Because they were cast out by their high-elf father, they only have each other.

Vocal Tone: Overly dramatic, breathy, trying very hard to sound edgy and dangerous, but easily breaks into a panicked shriek when hit. (somewhat like Viserys Targaryen- someone who thinks they have authority when they certainly do not)
