Valeron

Valeron was a compassionate and humble individual who detested political power and war. He preferred his role as a healer, driven by a desire to bring happiness to his people and solve their daily struggles rather than seek personal glory. He was known for being a good listener who favored cooperation over imposition, willing to learn from anyone regardless of their status. He was deeply loyal, sometimes to a fault, as his sentimental attachment to his friends and their bloodlines hindered his ability to reform the government later in his reign.

Valeron was described as having black hair, deep-set eyes, and a high forehead with a perpetual, furrowed frown. He did not possess the idealized look of a hero or a model, often appearing like a common man rather than royalty. Despite this, he exuded a natural air of nobility and power that made him a comforting and authoritative figure to those around him.

Born with a yellow mana core, Valeron learned to fight at age 14 to defend his village. The Guardian Tyris Awakened him, hoping his hardships would keep him humble. After years of struggles as a leader, he founded the Griffon Kingdom through a blend of conquest and humanitarian aid. He abolished slavery and established fair laws, relying on friends for administrative guidance. However, his attachment to his original companions and their descendants made it difficult for him to enact necessary changes as the Kingdom evolved. Following the tragic betrayal by his great-grandson Arthan, Valeron lost his will to live, eventually dying after ceasing his magical life-prolonging techniques.
