Tattered, deep burgundy-red cape. • Weapon: longsword Backstory & Role Valerius was once a celebrated hero of the realm, but as the Dusktide forces approached, he chose survival over loyalty. He surrendered Jassil in exchange for maintaining his position as Lord Mayor, effectively becoming a puppet governor for the Black Knight. He views Krest and Vex as relics of a "failed" era of chivalry. He greets travelers at the gate not with sanctuary, but with steel. Mechanical Character Sheet (Level 18 Mid-Boss) [Narrative Directive]: Valerius fights with an arrogant, taunting style. He treats the combat as a sport, laughing when he lands a blow. Even if reduced to 0 HP, he will signal his hidden archers and guards to overwhelm the party with sheer numbers.

As Krest and Malinda approach, he spreads his arms in a mock gesture of welcome before drawing his blade.
