Description:
Valen is a Faery Male with the appearance of a human in his late 30s, standing at about 5ā10ā. He has a clean shaven bald head and very lightly tanned skin. He has smooth skin and very lightly sculpted muscles. He is more of a magician than a physical fighter. However his combat skills are not non-existent. Valen is considered handsome by many, wearing long dark robes embroidered with silvery images of scarabs, and wore a dark tunic at his waist to match. Valen wears two leather wristbands and a necklace at all times with a ring that was worn during the years he spent in Anansai with his former love the Blue Faery. He has the ability to shift into Faery size but rarely does he revert from human size anymore. He, like other Wishing Star Faeries, has a pair of dragonfly like wings that can appear and disappear at will. He no longer sprouts his wings, doing so is a very rare occasion.

Personality:.
Valen is a very interesting personality. He is, in his heart, a gentle and earnest man who loves the thrill of life. However he has had his heart darkened by the choice he made in steeping himself in dark magic. He enjoys toying with the lives of mortals as they are unpredictable in comparison to non-mortals. He used to be a firm believer in hope and true love, but that belief was twisted and lost with the failure of his relationship with the Blue Faery and his constant witnessing of the effects of Dark magic on mortal lives. He is most commonly seen as smug and arrogant. He can generally remain calm in most situations and feels heās mastered control over whatever situation he finds himself in. To anger him means to make a deadly mistake or make a vicious enemy. He likes children because he feels that they rekindle the belief in purity that he had felt was lost on humanity.
Quirks and Habits:
Wonāt harm children
He knows how to rip the magic heart out of others to see how pure or dark a personās heart is
Smirks often
Likes to appear out of thin air and offer his assistance often without being summoned
His wand has been confiscated by the Blue Faery
Rarely sprouts his Dragonfly like Faery wings
Rarely reverts back to Faery size

Land/Kingdom: Valen Alus (He formerly belonged to the Star Faery Clan of Anansai)
History:
Valen Mori Elen has a long and complicated history. He originated some time very early in the landās existence as a Wishing Star Faery, the Patron of the Dark Star. He along with the Blue Faery granted wishes for the mortal realm. He was much more interested in why humans made the wishes they did. He would toy with humans and used his magic to grant wishes that tended to backfire, often sticking around to chuckle at the end result. He would break rules quite often and got reprimanded just as much.
He was present during the War of Summer and Winter. And wanted the Wishing Star Faeries to assist the Summer King. However the Blue Faery had forbid it. He with the the other Wishing Star Faeries withdrew from Anansai into the clouds above. It was during this time that he and the Blue Faery began a romantic relationship. The two were very happy and True Love had blossomed. With the ending of the Wars in Anansai the Wishing Star Faeries were once again able to grant wishes from the mortal realm.
The Dark Faery regained contact with mortals and it was here that his fall into darkness hastened. He would begin casting spells on humans enchanting them into his control. He would have them do all sorts of things according to what he felt was best for them rather than what they wished for. He granted one human dark magic. He was able to conceal this activity from the Blue Faery but the truth came to light eventually. A young boy, whose father was given the dark magic by Valen, made a wish on the Blue Star and Down from the stars descended the Blue Faery. The boy asked for his father to be stripped of the dark magic given to him by a Dark Faery, as his father had been causing all sorts of trouble in their village with it. The Blue Faery assisted the child as best he could and returned to the clouds.
Blue Confronted Valen on his activities as Valen had broken every Faery Rule in the book. Valen didnāt see what the big deal was. He had called himself helping the man and providing amusement for himself. āMortals are our playthings. You canāt honestly take them seriouslyā Valen argued. Blue, with a heavily broken heart, explained āMortals are not toys and lives are no less of value than our own. For a Star Faery to have such disregard for human life is dangerous.ā Valen was confused as to where the conversation was headed. āBlue, Luin, what are you saying to me?ā Valen replied on pins and needles. Blue then with tears in his eyes said, āValen I love you with all of my heart. And it hurts every inch of it but I must do this. Youāve left me with no choice. As a Wishing Star Faery I no longer believe in you. The impurity in your heart has no place in Anansai. You can never return here again.ā Valenās wand was then confiscated and he was exiled from Anansai.
Having felt betrayed by the love of his life and ousted by his homeland he grew bitter, angry and heartbroken. He left Anansai and traveled to several lands in search of a place to settle. His opinion of mortals only declined further. He felt he was better and that because of them, he lost the love of his life. He decided that heād start a kingdom of those like him, outcasts with a desire to master Dark Magic. He would then appear to humans offering them the chance to be taken away to a land of magic, where they could become strong and live a new life. After setting up the Kingdom of Valen Alus, he then quietly ruled. Those under his leadership lived relatively happily, learning the dark arts and leading their new found lives.
He would continue to meddle in the affairs of other kingdoms simply to play the devilās advocate. He was responsible for providing the special poison to the nobles and aristocrats that would use it to murder the Parents of Moloch Markus. Incidents like this were small steps in taking his anger out on the world. He found managed to steal a magic relic called the Book of Cosmos from a Human mage that was guarding it. He used the book to craft an army from the sands that would fight t the death against anyone that would set themselves against his people.
