The youngest of the Rothach twins Vallyn travelled to the South East Island shortly after his 18th birthday. The young man bears a jagged scar along his face running from his left temple down his cheek ending at his jaw, a gift from his Cousin Farrin for interfering in an unfairly matched duel. His hatred of Farrin is unmatched, he found his reckless cousin's attitude and actions to be offensive and the injury he suffered at his hands only spurred him on to train harder and fight.

The idealistic youth sought to find honour and prestige in war and so found himself fighting for Taselak, the outnumbered but tactically superior Realm that fought on the SEI. There he began his training in war, but the tactics used and constant warfare has dimmed him, driven him to harsh beliefs. The constant looting, pillaging, and destruction has driven him closer to his anger and hatred. He beliefs in his Oath and the constant warfare that he has found. Honour and Duty are all he has left and he drives towards them, regardless of the cost now. He has abandoned the ideals taught by Nighthelm believing that Brutality, Force, and Destruction are necessary to be successful in war and in leadership. That whatever is tactically sound must be done -- regardless of the cost to the people.

Thus he has begun to find a harshness, a coldness within himself and fallen into that which many may call evil. But he knows the truth of it's righteousness, that his honour, integrity, and oath justify whatever he must do to complete his duty.
