He's Zack exiled uncle. Zack doesn't know about him. Valentine was exiled for semi-treacherous acts. he's psychic and knows who will awaken Syn and he can see each and every choice that someone will make and how it'll affect the Elfheim. threats of death don't scare him. he would welcome death. he practices dark magic. he doesn't always wear a top but when he does it's a deep purple robe that's softer than silk. he's actually kinda lonely but no one is allowed to see him
