== Biography ==
=== Birth ===
During his father's thirty-first birthday on 09 December 2028, his mother informed that she was pregnant a third time; considered to be an additional present that both of them were hoping for concerning their growing family. As always, both of his parents were ecstatic with the news, and decided to keep it among themselves and even from his younger siblings in fear of them spreading the news at once.
Valentin was born on the early morning of 02 August 2029 at Hôpital Necker-Laennec Enfants-Malades, Paris, France to Nikolai Xavier Verano, Chairman of the Verano Group of Companies and President of Verano Development Corporation, and Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio, President of Malyari Air. Like that of his older siblings, he spent the first months of his life in France, which coincided with his older brother's, Viktor's, first attendance to Nursery in the country that additionally delayed his christening. However, his grandparents, aunts and uncles visited upon his birth.
At four months old, during Viktor's winter break from school, the family flew to the Philippines before the holidays, and a few days after arriving, Valentin was christened on 22 December 2029 at Santuario de San Antonio Parish Church at Forbes Park, Makati, Philippines, and was followed by a reception at the McKinley Ballroom at Alethea the Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines. His godparents were Arianna Bonifacio (his mother's paternal cousin), Capt. Kael Owen Martinez (his parents' batchmate from WAA), Leighton Perline Verano (his father's paternal cousin), Engr. Maddox Evans (his father's college friend), Moises Percival Bonifacio (his maternal uncle), and Capt. Reily Santiago (his mother's college friend).XXX
During the tenth anniversary of his parents' batchmates' graduation for their flight training, he was noted to be the youngest from the other children present as he actively played along with the others and was highly noted to be extremely observant and was independent as his older siblings paid great attention of him.Flight Line
For his first birthday, Valentin received a 3% share of his father's stocks of the Verano Group of Companies as a custom among the Verano family. Though it was expected to grow by age, it had remained as an equal share of his like that of his siblings; and he was bound to personally own it when he turned eighteen years old.
He had an older brother Viktor and older sister Vasilisa; and later on, he had seven younger siblings, two were miscarried: Veronika, Vladimir, Valeriya, Vladislav and Violetta; he and his siblings roughly had a two-year age gap in between.
=== Education and career ===
Like his older siblings, Valentin spent his early days mostly in Paris, France; only heading to the Philippines during a few events and holidays. From nursery until first grade, he attended the British School of Paris; before transferring to the International School Manila in the Philippines for second grade until eighth grade as his family settled in the country around that time.
Like his older siblings and their father, he attended the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland from ninth grade until twelfth grade. It was during his stay at Le Rosey did he entered into relationships with other students from the said school. His first girlfriend was Juliette Robillard, a classmate of his; and just a year and a half, they broke up when she was caught by him cheating. About the same time, during summer and holidays, Valentin took his flight training in their family-owned Malyari Air Flight Training Academy in Pampanga, Philippines; finishing the course all the way to A320 for roughly three years.
For his college, as influenced by his second cousins and his father's paternal aunt, he decided to took law by attending the University of Oxford in England with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Law with European Law. During his college days did he met Sylvie Delaunay, a classmate of his whom he originally met at a café in London and were later surprised to be taking the same course. They broke up after three years and four months due to their inability to meet one another's schedule.
After graduation, he continued for a master's in Law at Harvard Law School in the United States. There he met Alisha Foster, at the time that Valentin was still in a relationship with Sylvie, though she had been hitting on him since then. They entered in a relationship three months after him breaking up with Sylvie, and after a year and three months, they also broke up due to their busy schedule and Valentin was not to stay in California afterwards as he took in the position of being an associate attorney of their family's Liberté Law Firm's Europe Division stationed in Paris, France.
