Backstory:
Family servant and ex adventurer
Noble memento - named sword Hunllef (Nightmare)
Swept up - Your life spiraled out of control as you struggled against a plethora of sudden changes.
Valen was born to a promising noble family in Brindel. He was the prodigy the family needed to propel themselves to greater heights. His father Durrun was a local power holder having control of a large portion of knights and lands to the east. Affluent and powerful no expense was forgotten in Valen’s tutors and teachings.
He learned from multiple people but one that stuck with him the most was his favorite teacher. An old hero from decades ago by the name of Sedric the Red. Known as one of the best with a sword he taught Valen everything he knew about sword fighting, and lessons he had learned in life. This fresh perspective different from the ones he heard from his other tutors began to shift Valen’s point of view. What he once saw as his birthright he realized was simply tyranny by another name. The people who served his father had little sag in their lives and were at his mercy.
As the day of his coming of age ceremony crept closer he planned to run off and sever ties with his family. Not wishing to be apart of this scheme his father had. On the eve of the ceremony however hai father caught him packing and an argument ensued. His father threatened to disinherit him in a fit of rage.
This changed everything as Valen soon realized that his family carried a dark secret. His grandfather a sorcerer who had been elevated to their current title had also made a dark pact. After summoning a powerful devil he had damned his family and his descendants. When his father uttered those words a clause in the contract shifted the power of the pact to Valen. And a massive fiendish creature burst forth in a brimstone and fire proclaiming him as his recipient. It then turned on his father and sneered saying his folly grand.
With this happening Valen made the decision to leave but his father in a fit of rage forbid it. A fight broke out and trying to defend himself Valen free the family blade. Seeing the Devil’s red eyes sting at him and speaking in his mind, he felt a surge of power and rage. Striking out at his father he fell, unsure of what to do and feeling increasingly afraid Valen left.
He has ventured for the past few years now coming to 22 seasons old. He has started to learn more about this pact and the history behind it from the Devil that controls his life. He’s found he has become more powerful and has been gifted another reminder of the Devil’s power. A contract holding the soul of his one time teacher. This unease balance is precarious as Valen has taken the opportunity to do good when he can despite the Devil’s temptations. But the entire time the uneasiness of knowing his father is out there in some way or another has kept him moving from town to town never truly settling down

Description
Valen has brown hair, brown eyes, and a rather plain complexion. He looks rather normal, almost handsome in a comely way. He is young only 22 but from the weary look in his eyes and the way he speaks you can understand the wisdom the young man has. He wears worn but relatively nice clothes, with a breastplate overtop. It’s shined and neat but has scratches and dings from battle. A symbol of a sword wreathed in fire held aloft is on the chest still well embellished despite the violence the armor has seen. On his hand is a ring with a similar symbol though the symbol is worn and has seen better days. On his hip is a sword elegant and well made but not gaudy. He blade is sharp and completely clean when out of its plain sheath, which holds a small latch on it unusually. The darkness on it comes from a separate metal engraving that runs along the blades so enter, but if you pay attention you swear you see more than just the outside worlds reflection.
