Personal history
When Valen married, he made the decision to adopt his wife's last name, breaking away from the traditional custom wherein women typically take their husband's surname. This choice was deeply personal for him; Valen had grappled with the stigma attached to his own family name, which had been marred by a series of scandals and unfortunate events that seemed impossible to recover from.
During his engagement, his fiancée suggested that Valen adopt her surname, as a way to create a clear distinction from his now tarnished name. This proposal resonated deeply with Valen, providing him with a powerful sense of direction and resolve.
By embracing his wife's surname, he sought not only to forge a new identity for himself but also to symbolize a fresh start, one that was unencumbered by the shadows of his family's past. In doing so, he hoped to build a future founded on values of love and respect, rather than the weight of a legacy that never represented who he was.
Embracing this new identity, Valen dedicated himself to the noble path of the Dragonguard. Fueled by his desire for retribution and a sense of duty, Valen diligently ascended through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional leadership and bravery.
Eventually, his hard work and unwavering commitment culminated in his promotion to the esteemed position of Lieutenant Commander in Ardenfell. Following this achievement, he was also appointed Chancellor of the Rayhaven Dragonguard Academy, where he played a crucial role in shaping the next generation of guardians.
