->'''Appears in''': ''Literature/ChildrenOfValentine''

* BigBadEnsemble:
The gods Valentine siblings are working to unleash their father, the Defiler itself. Most visible are Salvatore Valentine, the eldest and leader of the Old World. The Daydreamers were siblings, and his younger twin Exoto, who's a group savage, barely functioning monstrosity.
* CainAndAbel: Like most
of female deities Helen's children, the children of Valentine serve Helen even after her death, as opposed to the heroic Bruno who helped rebelled against her.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:The Valentine siblings revere and miss their mother, who was also a lover
to design each of them. Salvatore especially, who speaks of his mother in the ancient world before its destruction.

[[folder:Salvatore]]

->'''Appears in''': ''Literature/ChildrenOfValentine''

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Salvatore lacks his mother Helen's maliciousness, viewing a world without inhibitions ripe for defilement as freedom and happiness.
* BerserkButton: Implying what Helen did to Salvatore was abuse makes him lose his composure immensely.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Salvatore may sees [[BlueAndOrangeMorality his father's depravity as an expression of freeom]], but despises the pedophiles attrracted to his business. It's implied to be the reason that Andre Mays, who had a "scandal" while working a gym teacher, was feed to Exoto.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Salvatore presents as a pleasant club owner who just happens to dabble in the porn industry. Not many know he's half-Old One and a cultist intent on unleashing his monstrous father.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Exoto]]

->'''Appears in''': ''Literature/ChildrenOfValentine''

* BodyHorror: Exoto is a hulking six armed beast that can possess and devour others from inside out before wearing them like flesh puppets.
* TheBrute: Exoto's role with the Valentines is being a savage beast who tears through whatever is in his path.
* HairTriggerTemper: It takes nearly ''nothing'' to set Exoto off. Exoto nearly rapes Santino to death on the spot when Santino accidentally backtalks him and Vittoria is ''constantly'' treading on broken glass in interacting with him.
* MoodSwinger: Exoto's temperament is a volatile thing, swinging from fits of sullen moroseness and childish, petty tantrums to nigh-uncontrollable fits of savage lust and violence. At one point, when Vittoria starts to renege, Exoto breaks down sobbing in front of a picture of his mother and begging Vita not to leave him like Helen did, before winding over a literal second later and promising to "fuck you until the only thing you will ever feel again is ''my pain!''" should Vittoria ever disobey them again.
* PsychopathicManchild: Exoto is a depraved predator who acts like a spoiled child. Henri even compares him to an eight year old and a schoolyard bully. At one point he breaks down weeping and wailing over a picture of his deceased mother.

!! The Sodality of the Aberrant

[[folder:Adam]]
->'''Appears in''': ''Literature/SangueSerenissima''
-->"''What's happened has happened and justice must be meted out. That's all there is to it.''"
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_0.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:([[https://www.artstation.com/key-rah Credit]])]]
A mysterious man who runs the Sodality of the Aberrant, safeguarding Seers and other outcasts. An old acquaintance of Eliza Cortly.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: He loves his followers like his children and they revere him in turn.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Adam resembles a youthful human, but it's becoming abundantly clear he might not be human whatsoever.
* AntiHero: Adam is revered as a stalwart and noble man who selflessly provides a home for the lost and aberrant of society, and he's quite civil (if [[BrutalHonesty blunt]] and [[NoSocialSkills somewhat tactless in casual conversation]]) but he also makes it clear he's not exactly concerned about justice or morality, up to the point where he apparently murdered a taxman who's worst crime was threatening to expose Adam's flock.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the Sodality, an exceptional swordsman and a powerful warrior with exceptional speed and strength.
* BerserkButton: Unwelcome intrusion into the affairs of his flock in any way is a surefire way to gain his "retribution." A taxman who tried to pry into their affairs ended up ''murdered'' by Adam.
* BrutalHonesty: Adam doesn't mince words, and encourages others to do the same.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Adam's past is largely unknown but he is references as being a discarded 'toy' of the monstrous 'Eye.'
* DeadpanSnarker: Hardestadt staring at him when he regenerates from corrosive acid to the face? "Are you captivated by my beauty or do I have something stuck in my teeth?"
* DeathSeeker: It is revealed that Adam one day aspires to die after achieving his ultimate purpose.
* DueToTheDead: Adam keeps the ashes of his dead flock members in ceremonial urns and treasures their memories.
* GeniusBruiser: Adam is exceptionally intelligent and can throw a mean punch.
* GoodIsNotNice: Adam has little use for social graces or any sort of gentleness when talking, even if he is a good person.
* HealingFactor: Has a particularly pronounced one, first demonstrated when he receives a dose of acid which completely melts his face, which he shrugs off in ''seconds''. Brought further when he regenerates from having his entire bodily mass forced into the area of a pin-tip, leading him nothing more than a pebble of flesh, then proceeds to regenerate from that in "almost five seconds."
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:Adam is a former toy of his "father," an EldritchAbomination called the Eye. At a glance, Adam isn't particularly unsettling, but he isn't human, is older than both Hardestadt and Eliza, has an impossibly efficient HealingFactor and tireless stamina, and has the ability to spirit off people to the Eye themselves. Whatever Adam really is, "human" is a very, very unfitting word.]]
* TheLeader: Adam is the undisputed leader of the sodality of the Aberrant for good reason.
* MagicEye: Adam supposedly has the 'Malocchio,' or evil eye. [[spoiler: There's no 'supposedly' about it. When Adam employs this, it can be a near insta-kill if the enemy isn't prepared, drawing the horrific attention of 'The Eye.']]
* MasterSwordsman: He is an ''exceptional'' swordsman, able to even hold his own against Hardestadt Delac in ''Sangue Serenissima.''
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Anyone threatens his flock, this is what they get. He's strongly implied to be guilty of the murder of a tax man who mad that error.
* NervesOfSteel: ''Nothing'' rattles Adam. Nothing. He maintains his cool through incredible pressure and when thrown into a section of the City of Never, he simply lunges to fight off the monsters he's stuck with.
* NoSocialSkills: Adam does ''not'' do well with social skills, being calm and blunt without any need for small talk.
* PapaWolf: Adam deeply cares for his flock, whom he treats like his own children.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: While he looks youthful, he is much, much older than he appears.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Adam isn't an inflexible man. Even when one of the Flock is lost despite Hardestadt's best efforts, Adam saves his anger only for the thing that took Franco, recognizing Hardestadt did all he could.
* TheStoic: Adam isn't in to emoting at all. Nearly ''nothing'' gets any kind of rise out of him, not Hardestadt's dazzling skills with a sword, not getting a splash of acid in the face, and he's even able to disguise his emotions perfectly to the death of his own flock members -- although it's clear that, at least, saddens and enrages him deep down.
* TranquilFury: When discussing his follower, Peyton's death, he is clearly ''enraged'', but shows it with utter stoicism.
