Vali Lucifer

**Vali Lucifer** is a member of Grigori and possessor of the Longinus, Divine Dividing. He also appears in High School DxD.

## Appearance

Vali is a young boy with dark silver hair and ice blue eyes that are often shown to be rimmed with a light ultramarine. He has a small White Dragon plushie on his shoulder.

## Personality

Vali is an extremely proud and aloof individual due to his heritage as a descendant of the original Lucifer and his possession of the Divine Dividing, one of the thirteen Longinus that can overthrow even gods. Despite putting on airs most of the time, he is shown to care deeply for his comrades and possesses chuunibyou traits.

Having great compassion despite his proud nature, Vali became enraged and reckless when he learnt Lavinia whom he saw as a sister figure was possessed by Augusta, and determined to save her despite not being strong enough to do so, even willing to sacrificed himself to do it.

Being determined to be strong enough to seek his vengeance against Razevan and Rizevim, Vali seeks battles with strong opponents in order to become strong enough to kill his father and grandfather even to the point of disregarding his safety in doing so as shown when he recklessly used his Balance Breaker to weakened Augusta's control over the Absolute Demise, determined to surpassed his own limits, believeing he will never surpassed his father and grandfather if he doesn't.

## Plot

### Volume 1

Vali is first mentioned in Volume 1, when Lavinia decides to give him some of Tobio's delicious cooking, who asks about his identity. Natsume describes him as a cheeky brat who lives in the same apartment building with them. He later makes his first appearance, asking Tobio, who is training Jin - his Sacred Gear - for a sparring match. He defeats Tobio with minimal difficulty, to Natsume's displeasure. Lavinia then appears, telling them it's time for breakfast, and embraces Vali, much to his embarrassment.

As they discuss over breakfast, they decide to investigate the house of Sae Toujou in relation to the Utsusemi incident. Vali declines to follow them, mentioning that the "Governor General" requested him not to do so. He is later shown at an abandoned factory where Natsume and Kouki are in trouble after they are ambushed at Sae's house by the Utsusemi Agency. He greets Natsume and stops Kazuhisa Doumon from escaping the location. As he attempts to attack him, he is interrupted by Kouki, who punches Kazuhisa instead. As Kouki collapses from his injury, Vali catches him and teleports him to the Grigori institute along with Kazuhisa and Byakusa, Kouki's Sacred Gear.

He then updates Natsume with the current situation and they head to the headquarters of the Utsusemi Agency together, where they rescue the victims of the "Heavenly Aloha incident" along with their parents and teleport them to the Grigori institute. Vali tells Natsume to go meet Tobio, who is confronting Hanezu Himejima. A short while later, Vali appears along with Azazel and returns a rampaging Tobio in his Balance Breaker state back to normal with the help of Azazel and Lavinia.

### Volume 2

Two months later, Vali follows Kouki, Lavinia, and Sae to Tobio's room. Upon reaching their destination, Lavinia covers his eyes, telling him there's something going on that he can't see.

As they head towards the location of the aforementioned classmates, Barakiel warns them of the abilities of the Abyss Team and Lavinia tells them about her past and her current objective. As the rest express their support for her, Kouki asks Vali if he will help Lavinia, to which he replies in the affirmative, albeit in a roundabout manner.

As they move closer to their destination, Sae raises an alarm, causing Barakiel to investigate ahead alone. He finds Shigune Nanadare, one of the classmates, along with her Sacred Gear. As she warns them to escape, they are confronted by a strange stone statue. Immediately as
Barakiel warns them to close their eyes, it releases an intense light that is revealed to be capable of causing blindness. As the team study the surroundings, a man reveals himself and expresses his desire to make them blind. As some of the team engage the man and the statue, Shigune reveals that there is a second statue, with Vali reacting quickly to destroy it. After the man is forced to retreat, Shigune reveals that the remaining classmate is fighting alone in the village.

Following that, the team heads towards to the village, where Vali further investigates the area on direction from Barakiel. After Vali updates them on the situation, they feel a powerful aura which he states to be that of Satanael. Barakiel decides to go after Satanael alone and gives further instructions to the team. As they head towards Koga's location, they suddenly feel a bizarre aura in his direction. Albion introduces himself to the team as the dragon sealed inside of Vali and says that the aura is similar to that of a Balance Breaker. After they reach Koga's location, they are surrounded by Augusta and several other magicians. Vali introduces himself to her and indicates his desire to fight against her as a fellow Longinus possessor. As the team prepares to fight against Augusta and the other magicians, Koga activates his Balance Breaker, leaving Vali in admiration. After Augusta leaves the location, Vali decides to stay in order to observe Koga's Balance Breaker.

Later, after Vali discovers that Augusta has possessed Lavinia's body, he becomes upset and tries to confront her alone. However, Azazel calms him down and instructs the team on how to combat Augusta. In the battle, Vali activates his incomplete Balance Breaker and manages to defeat Augusta's ice puppet. Following that, the team manages to defeat Augusta and safely retrieve Lavinia. Ten days later, Vali is shown in the hospital where Lavinia was admitted. Natsume informs Lavinia how much Vali was worried about her, which makes him flustered. After leaving the hospital room, Vali informs Albion of his desire to attain the Juggernaut Drive.
