Valerian is a half-elf from Balder's Gate. His parents were adventurers and he was conceived on the Plane of Shadow. Perhaps that's why he's always been drawn to nighttime and shadows. He stands 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a lithe and wiry build. His skin is pale as alabaster, and the irises of his eyes are black as midnight. His wavy black hair hangs down to his shoulders. He's mildly sarcastic, but quite friendly when you get to know him. He wears black leather and purple silk. He carries a black, rune-edged longsword which seems a trifle overlong for his frame.
Valerian is a warlock with the Hexblade pact, with oaths sworn to a shadowy and indistinct figure from deep in the plane of shadow, a figure who has spoken to him for so long as he can remember, but in whispers only he can hear, emanating from shadows or coming upon him as he dreams.
Valerian knows Syndra Silvane because she is an old friend of his mother from her earlier adventuring days. Both of Valerian's parents have disappeared. He doesn't know for sure where exactly they may be. They returned to Chult a tenday ago without explanation, returned to the a place they swore they would never see again, a place which was the site of the worst failure of their adventuring career, a place where half their party died and the other half escaped barely by use of word of recall. Both of Valerian's parents died on that trip. They were raised by priests of Selene, only to find that their surviving companions had been slain and their bodies destroyed by a demon that had followed them from that place. It had missed them only because they were already dead.
Valerian's mother, Qualinestra, was a moon elf bladesinger with a history of sporadic adventuring. She met his father, Damon Wilder, a human rogue, during her most recent foray into the profession. Earlier, she adventured with Syndra Silvane, and before that with Syndra's grandmother.
