Valen Scarletburn (formerly Valen Ellison Errin) is a well-known Syelsumoii gunman who was once part of a now-defunct group known as the Sadistica Seins. He is the son of rebel leader Arias Errin. Valen is also the younger brother of governor Emriesk Errin of Korriaka, who, in The Grenian Conspiracy timeline, is Premier Emperor of Greniou. Valen is a main character in The Grenian Conspiracy, and succeeds his father in the role at the conclusion of his trilogy.

In Cult of Ustream canon, Valen is a regular member who joins the Cult of Ustream early on in Season One. He appears with Emma Isokoski, who joined the group alongside him. He plays host to Oikeus until late in Season One, when Oikeus is released after killing Cuwind.

Appearance

When in his 'abomination form,' Valen possesses his signature coal-black hair and scarlet-red eyes. His body frame is slim, and his long legs allow for him to run with great speed and effectiveness. Both of these traits are those that pure-blooded Southern Syelsumoii people retain, which draws to mind the thought that Valen is a purely Southern Syelsumoii man. Valen's entirely unemotional face and mysterious eyes have been said to instill fear into his enemies.

In his 'normal' form, Valen is not his usual pale self. Instead, his skin complexion is slightly darker, and he has dirty blonde hair. His eyes can be described as a Prussian blue. Usually, in this form, his emotions and facial expressions are constantly changing.

Valen's usual attire is a black suit paired with a white undershirt, a black or red tie, and black dress shoes.

Personality

Cult of Ustream

Upon appearing in the Cult of Ustream canon, Valen was seen by the Cultists as a violent and thrill-seeking man, often enthralled by the thrill of battle. Though unknown to the other Cultists at the time, Oikeus was majorly responsible for shaping Valen's personality; he molded the man into one who craved bloodshed and desired carnage. Valen, under Oikeus' influence, would derive strong pleasure from murdering innocents. Otherwise, Valen was a very emotionally-restricted man, who opted to not express any amount of his inner feelings. This also showed the man's incredible sense of self-control, though his emotional restrictions eventually began to loosen up as Valen experienced a greater degree of autonomy from Oikeus, and became more acclimated with the Cult.

There also exists a deeply analytical and philosophical side to Valen. He tends to express his world views and musings on situations behind his so-called "Perceptual Door" - a state of mind which he created. Towards people he considers himself to be on familiar terms with, he is quite respectful. He never attempts to treat anyone as beneath him, but even with careful consideration towards this way of thinking, he still treats everyone with a frank indifference.

Post-Oikeus Arc

Valen's personality undergoes a gradual shift during and after his ultimate battle with Oikeus. All of the values that he had tucked away beneath Oikeus' impressions of ruthless killing begin to resurface - he begins to value the gift of life drastically more, and displays concern for the safety of others. It could be said that, at this point in the canon, Valen has reached a state of inner peace. Along with Oikeus, the aggression and corruption that Valen had nursed in his heart begin to waste away. As a result, Valen is much calmer, focused, and determined. Although he remains stoic and controlled around all but those he holds in highest esteem, he begins to loosen up his emotional restrictions.

The Grenian Conspiracy

In The Grenian Conspiracy's timeline, Valen stays under his moniker of "Codename: Five." He retains the strong, aggressive personality type that he displays in his early Cult of Ustream canon appearances throughout the entirety of the canon. However, his anger and aggression are at dangerous levels - to the point where he considers himself to be an "angry, psychotic savage."

Combat

Fighting Style

In combat, Valen adopts a very defense-oriented style that places heavy focus on enduring attacks and keeping his enemies at bay. To this end, coupled with his abnormally high pain tolerance and endurance, he often makes use of his metallic form to provide layers of armored protection. During battle, Valen is often the one to initiate combat with warning shots, mostly done by way of either a Desert Eagle or an Uzi. At this point, he opts to switch to his core defense in order to observe the enemy's techniques, attacks, and to gauge their power. Valen is an extremely patient fighter, preferring to observe in order to formulate a strategy before switching to offense himself. If one were to attempt to classify his style, he would likely be summarized as a 'tank' due to his endurance, defense, and heavy artillery that ultimately deal massive amounts of damage.

Powers

• Cryoimpery: A sorely-underutilized power that Valen possesses as a result of Oikeus' influence upon his Soul Component. Although Valen is not particularly keen on using his domain over Ice Mana, he has shown a great talent in using it. One example is from the Cult of Ustream canon's Euthorica Islands Sideplot, in which he froze a major portion of the ocean purely for his own recreational fun.
• Manipulation of Decay: As a result of the bindings that Oikeus had upon his Soul, Valen also gained usage of another ability that he has assimilated into his natural usage: the manipulation of decay. Valen is able to influence the rate of decay of various things, and uses it as a way to extract the very life force of a decayed being. As this is a part of his body, he is able to imprint the effects of decay upon his weaponry, and his use of Mana.
• Photoimpery: Valen's ability to manipulate the light element is a power that he has suppressed. It comes as a result of his genetic linkage (among other factors) to his father, Arias Errin. Valen uses Light Mana and the light around him to complement his various skills, and to reinforce his armor. Valen is able to solidify light rays, intensify them to the ends of piercing through the bodies of others, among other techniques.

Abilities

• Brute Strength: Valen has a talent of focusing power and expressing his capabilities with great bouts of strength.
• Metalized Hide: The metallic hide, as it is called, is an exclusive genetic trait expressed by the Errin clan of Angelics. Valen is able to manifest an incredibly strong metal "armor" that engulfs his body. Metalized hides are known to take different forms and purposes based on the wearer's personality, which manifests as a defensive asset to Vale. In the fight between Ziolang Hirasu and Valen in Cult of Ustream canon, it has been shown to be strong enough to withstand the heat of suns and so far has not been pierced by anything but the Impossible Blade.

Equipment

• Desert Eagle: A strong piece of weaponry which Valen "creates" almost every time he fights. This weapon has a powerful reputation of having a fast trigger and strong recoil power.
• SRM Arms Model 1216: By far the most powerful semi-automatic shotgun Vale can create. The magazine runs parallel to the barrel, and is made of four tubes - each with its own spring and follower. Each shell contains 200 projectiles that can provide a painful and wide spread range of attack for the user.

History

Early Years

Born approximately 11 years after the failed rebellion of Causica, Valen Ellison Errin is the second-born, and youngest male child of Arias Errin and Helena Knezovic-Scarletburn. Valen grew up without any knowledge of his father, and barely any memories of his mother after she abandoned him. He always struggled with an inner beast, known as Oikeus, who often demanded sacrifices and slaughters to keep them alive in a symbiotic relationship. Pitted against a deity-like force and abandoned by his mother, Valen was forced under these circumstances to live alone in the deep polar regions of the southern Syelsumoian hemisphere. At the age of eight, he was fully capable of surviving on his own in the wild, up to the point where he even began to act like a savage animal. However, by the age of 11 he was picked up by a group of polar fishermen and taken to a town near the heart of the Croi Island to be assimilated into a government-run orphanage.

Within that orphanage his life changed. Though unbeknownst to all of them at the time, Valen met the individuals who would become his future associates and partners, Klaus Nortigren and Emma Isokoski (Sadistica Seins Codenames Three and Four, respectively). During his time at the orphanage, Valen formed an unbreakable bond of friendship between himself and Emma, as well as a very light-hearted friendship with Klaus. Unfortunately, by the age of 12, his friend Klaus would betray him, and in a blind rage, Valen would destroy the orphanage, forcing him to go into hiding once more, until the authorities caught up with him, imprisoning his for the next five and a half years of his life.

Repentance

Upon turning 17, Valen would finally be bailed out of prison by none other than the empress of Syelsumoia, Magda Roseasilmillään. Although Valen was confused as to why he had been set free by the empress, it would turn out that she had a plan for him. Magda was recruiting him to be a part of the Syelsumoian branch of the Sadistic Seven, also known as the Sadistica Seins. Within this organization, Magda was known as "Zero." Under her, Valen would serve the group which would dedicate themselves to equalizing the Northern and Southern Syelsumoian frontiers, and killing off any major political or economical threats.

Under Oikeus' claims, during this time Vale meets Morika Roseasilmillaan, whom all believed to have been sent to oblivion a few years prior. They quickly familiarize with each other and the former keeps Morika's survival a secret for unknown reasons.

Timeline Split

At this point, while serving with the Sadistica Seins, Valen would find himself following a life-changing path which would ultimately see him and his partners sent to a different planet - Euthora. In The Grenian Conspiracy canon, Valen is instead sent to Causica along with Stephanie Roseasilmillään and Emma in order to initiate the plot of Bloodline Purity.

Quotes

• "The doors of perception are merely a fantasy which I shall refuse to open again... Valen... do not fall into that open door again."

Trivia

• Valen is a habitual drinker of Liquid Calcium, and borders on being an alcoholic.
• In The Grenian Conspiracy canon and Cult of Ustream canon, Valen lives his life without knowing the name and whereabouts of his father.
  • In Cult of Ustream canon, he is completely unaware of the existence of his siblings.
• Vale often expresses his Angelic characteristics during and outside of battle. He uses the Angelic's strong Mind Component to run tasks without his knowing, namely letting his Mind Component subtly tamper around with nearby consciousness and psyche, though never truly producing any results. Another trait he expresses is his free nature and preference of keeping active rather than idle. Speed and endurance is also a trait he carries from his heritage. There is one trait that Vale does acknowledge but dislikes which is an Angelic's close ties with emotion and uncertain shifts in them. There are certain times where even the gunslinger himself doesn't have any clue on why he feels a certain way, let alone act like it (I.E: The time where Vale was acting a bit childish while Gaga baked a cake during his birthday. Brief periods of childish and carefree behavior is a staple for Grenian Angelics, though not all of them resort to acting juvenile. Rather, most of them tend to just act simple and petty.)
• The name "Valen" is a reference to the ancient character "Young Master Valen" of the Grenian epic "God's Avatar (Dierdurev Fiosko)."
• Though related to Emriesk Errin, Valen's Soul Component and Mind Component are not as potent as his brother's. However, their Body Components are questionable when compared.
• Valen is classed as a "Fallen Angel." Wingless Angelics are often discounted as defective and weak. They even tend to be born smaller than their kind. Because of this Valen does not have wings, is unable to imprint on beings, nor has the potential to transform into his kind's ultimate form. However, he has an immense disposition to transform into an Inoperable.
• The "Doors of perception" mental state that Vale created to keep Oikeus under check was [an obscure reference] named after the Californian 60's band "The Doors." Further inspiration of said mindset which is the result of Vale's strong mind comes from a William Blake quotation, from his famous work "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell": "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
