History Characters / TheArknverseValkyrium

* ExaltedTorturer

* InformedAttribute: He's touted as one of the most fearsome warriors and mages to have ever lived; however, we've yet to see him use a single one of his acclaimed skills. (On top of that, we only see him take on one being in a fight -- and he ''loses''.)

* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he's in his smoke form, his eyes glow red.
* SuperSmoke: He occasionally takes the form of a smoke creature.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Valkyrius Thorm''. Definitely badass.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: It doesn't get much cooler than "Maalformius Darkrage".

The youngest child (and only daughter) of King Uriel and an unknown mother, Seraphina was conceived in the Infernous during Uriel's imprisonment. She was raised by Lilis under the watchful eyes of the Valkyrium, and rose quickly through their ranks, becoming a skilled assassin, fighter, and magi. She is fiercely loyal to the Arkn, and loathes all those who betray their cause -- including her own father and brother. Seraphina was prophesied to be the seventh Arknza, described as "a daughter, sent to Hell" (or alternately, "a daughter, born of Hell"). However, for reasons unknown, that position ends up being filled by her brother, Ellpagg.

* TheDreaded: The Arkn and Dekn alike fear and respect them.

* MagicKnight: The Arkn members who are admitted into the group must be both skilled warriors ''and'' powerful magi.

* KnightTemplar: He founded the Valks with the intention of wiping out all defectors (and other traitors), finding betrayal to be utterly reprehensible.
* TrueNeutral: He tried to remain this in the Arkn-Dekn conflict, even joining up with the Persophelums in an effort to maintain his neutrality.

* ChainsawGood: Of a sort: his signature weapon is a pair of chain-bladed katanas which strongly resembles chainsaws. ''No More Truths'' even says he "revs" them in battle.

Formerly a Dekn assassin under Emperor Hash'bor'kanibal, Lilis discovered the infant Seraphina just outside the Infernous and fled with her. Defecting from the Dekn, she was accepted into the Valkyrium, where she also became Seraphina's adoptive mother.

An elite guild of Arkn and Dekn warriors, dedicated to tracking down and dispatching special threats to their respective sides in the War -- particularly defectors and illegal half-breeds.

* MagicKnight: Only Arkn who are both skilled warriors ''and'' powerful magi are admitted into the group.
* MurderInc: Their main job is to dispatch threats to the Arkn and Dekn.
* SecretPolice: The Valks have some traits of this function as this, taking out defectors and other threats to the Arkn and Dekn whenever they crop up.

The Leader of the Assassins. Valkyr started out as one of the original neutral Arkn, but eventually became too radical to be considered as such. In order to maintain his neutrality, Valkyr joined up with Vine, who allowed him into the Persophelums. This lasted until after the creation of Nexia and the introduction of the first Defector, Imperious. Valkyr found the idea of defection disgusting; he left the Persophelums, vowing to rid the Nexia of Imperious and his followers. This led to the establishment of the Valkyrium, dedicated to hunting down Defectors. Valkyr changed his name to Valkyrius Thorm as a reflection of his new station.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Valkyrius'' Thorm.

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: If you're not immediately killed after he finds you, expect to endure this at his hands.
** Raphael is one known subject of his "methods". During the time he was imprisoned, he semi-permanently [[EyeScream lost an eye]], had his throat slit ([[DeathIsCheap fatally]]), and states that he was "broken" multiple times. Mentally ''and'' physically.
* MagicKnight: More like "Magic Arkn SecretPolice Chief".
* PoliceBrutality

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's a deadly, armored psychic assassin who can (allegedly) snap your neck from another dimension -- and [[FriendToAllChildren he adores children]]. He also seems to have and a weakness for helping the lost and exploited: his servant (and possible lover) is an Entraphic[[note]] a member of a race of traders[[/note]] whom he rescued from an M.E.E.C. research ship, and he agrees to take in Lilis ''and'' the infant Seraphina after they've been turned away everywhere else. (Note that Lilis was a former Dekn who, until VERY recently, ''[[spoiler: had worked for The Carver]]''.)

* FriendToAllChildren: Maal has a surprisingly tender side, and dearly loves children. ''Sarah Kestler Isn't Dead'', he asks Lilis if he can hold the baby Seraphina; his son is long grown, and he misses having an infant to hold.

The youngest child (and only daughter) of King Uriel and an unknown mother, Seraphina was conceived [[spoiler: in the Infernous]] during Uriel's imprisonment. She was raised by Lilis under the watchful eyes of the Valkyrium, and rose quickly through their ranks, becoming a skilled assassin, fighter, and magi. She is fiercely loyal to the Arkn, and loathes all those who betray their cause -- including her own father and brother. Seraphina was prophesied to be the seventh Arknza, described as "a daughter, sent to Hell" (or alternately, "a daughter, born of Hell"). However, for reasons unknown, that position ends up being filled by her brother, Ellpagg.

* HumanityEnsues: Possibly. It's stated in the final episode of ''[=MedBoy789=]'' that Sarah Kestler -- Seraphina's human counterpart -- unlocks and learns to wield the power of her Arkn blood; usually, this only happens in full when a human Arknza converges with their Guardian Arkn.

* MissingMom: While she does have a mother, Seraphina has never met her. (She admits that she hardly ever thinks about her, let alone misses her.)
* PutOnABus: Due to her creator leaving the franchise, the character was unfortunately written out of the Arknthology.

* TomatoInTheMirror: Seraphina eventually discovers that she is an Arknza -- one of the very beings she'd sworn to assassinate.

* MagicKnight: Only those who are skilled warriors ''and'' magi (and Dekn who are powerful telekinetics) are admitted into the group.
* MurderInc

->'''Appears In:''' ''No More Truths, ''Sarah Kestler Isn't Dead''

* MissedTheCall: Everything about Seraphina points to her being one of the Seven: she's the daughter of Uriel, she was “conceived” in the Infernous, possesses Hethian blood, and ''explicitly identifies'' herself as an Arknza; not only does the prophecy of the Seven describe one of the Arknza as “a daughter born of hell” (or “sent to hell”), but Emmanuel's writings make mention of her being present at the final battle of his universe, and fighting alongside the rest of the prophesied Arknangels. When the Battle of the Arknza arrives in Universe A, however, Seraphina is nowhere to be found; her role in the prophecy is inexplicably filled by Ellpagg.
