Valentin Evander

Sword of the Empire, Viceroy of Blades. Valentin Evander was nominally the best swordsman in the entire Bazrian Empire before its fall, having held the highest title of Imperial Champion (for the category of blade-only duels) in the Crown Colosseum for over a decade. That he still lives is actually something of a stain on his reputation, as the Sword of the Empire is supposed to be a member of the Emperor's personal guard. Rumors of cowardice abound, despite his claim that he was on a special mission from the Emperor far away from home at the time of its fall. Evidently lost an eye at some point during or after the fall.

Accompanies Paidia Thelxinoé as they travel about, touring the eastern edge of the fallen empire. Known for his skill at speeches and other theatrics in addition to his skill with a sword, which aided in cementing his status as an imperial celebrity. A severe, private man out of the spotlight, little is known about his personality beneath his resplendent stage persona. Valentin was a second son of minor Versyl nobility prior to making a name for himself by the sword.

Being a world class swordfighter would intuitively mean Valentin is at least a level 15 martial, presuming his reputation was fairly earned.
