Valjean

Valjean is a Persona in Persona 5 Strikers.
==History==
 is the main protagonist of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel . Valjean's story depicts his struggles to live a good life in God's name following a prison sentence for stealing bread for his destitute family. His efforts lead to him taking several aliases, and focuses on his care for the dying Fantine and then her daughter Cosette.
Both in the original novel and its adaptations, Valjean is shown in a mostly-positive light, often displaying compassion and selflessness while being capable of cunning and jealousy. His humanity puts him in stark contrast with Inspector , who represents the law but acts as one of the story's main antagonists.

===Persona 5 Strikers===
Valjean is Zenkichi Hasegawa's Persona. It uses Physical/Gun and Almighty skills.
Valjean has two innate abilities that it lets Zenkichi use:
* Fury Mode, a rage state activated by Strong I input that greatly increases Zenkichi's attack, but damages him slightly when using strong attacks. 
**The Wolf's Fury Master Arts adds Almighty magic affinity to his attacks, while Wolf's Howl reduces Fury Mode damage and increases chances of inflicting critical hits.
* A passive draining ability that allows Zenkichi to recover HP by dealing damage to enemies with Zenkichi's weapons, allowing a way to heal from Fury Mode without resorting to using healing skills/items.
** The Master of the Hunt Master Art improves the draining ability when not in Fury Mode.
