Write the first paragraph of your page here.

## **History**

He was born June 4th, 1910 in Germany. As a normal man named Valerian Trifa, without any peculiariities apart from his uncanny ability to read others hearts.

He became a Catholic Priest, though his motivation was not to comfort and bring salvation to others. But rather to be brought salvation from others. For he felt out of place in this World, alienated due to his peculiar ability.

He observed the Church's downfall into curroption, for it was led by imperfect men. Thus he fell into despair.

## **Die Morgendamurang**

December 24th, 1939 he was speaking with Rusulka Schwagerin about the crystalized blood of Vlad Tepes, how it was found at Consantinoble and was currently in the possession of the Holy Church. Though during their conversation she discerned his peculiar ability to read the hearts of others.

In time the two went outside in order to walk the streets of Berlin, where they bore witness to Wilhelm Ehrenburg and Wolfgang Schrieber clashing in an unnatural display of power. Along with  Reinhard Heydrich stopping the battle between the two Beasts. And in awe he decided to devote himself to Reinhard instead of Religion.
He, along with Rusulka Schwagerin and Liza Brenner were seized by the Gestapo, as Reinhard wanted as little information about his strength to get out as possible. Though he began to allign himself with the Obsidian Round Table.

As the War continued the Longinus Dreizehn Orden only grew more and more powerful due to all of the Souls they collected. And through this their heartfelt desires began to manifest, which began to warp their personalities. Turning them into "monsters in the shape of men."

He could feel his own heart was becoming twisted, and the desire of "becoming a different person" arising in his chest as a result of his own feelings of self-deprecation. Considering himself only an average person.

Knowing that staying around the Table will cause his control over himself will lessen even more, he fled.

He created an orphanage, and found comfort in the children. But this peace was not to last long. For Reinhard and His Knights came to the Orphange, forcing him to sacrifice ten children. And he obeyed, doing nothing to save the children he loved.

It was through this that he accepted his desire, and he offically joined the Obsidian Round Table. Being given the Demon Name of "Christof Lohengrin".

When Heydrich faked his assassination, his body resonated with the Gold.

## **Interview with Kaziklu Bey**

He vanished, enough so that even Reinhard Heydrich was unaware of his whereabouts.
After Reinhard's ascension in Gladshiem, he left his body behind, placing the soul of one Christof Lohengrin, withen it, in order to be the Acting Commander of the LDO untill he returns, in which he will take back his body. Thus he is both Commander and Vessel.
He was made the one in charge of training Kei Sakurai after the death of Beatrice.

## **Attack on Berlin**

He was one of the Knights to open the Swastikas in Berlin to bring about the Transmutation of Gold.

As Reinhard's Soul passed into Gladsheim his body was left behind for Valerian to transfer his own mind into. Which allowed him to fufill his desire to become another person.

## **Verfaulen Segen**

In 1995 he tricked Beatrice, who he knew had the flames of rebellion burning in her heart. Thus she found herself fighting against the Two-Headed Eagle, and was incapable of fighting against him. Thus she perished and had her Soul split between the Swastika and Tubal Cain.

Afterward he took up the position of mentoring Kei Sakurai, than only six years of age, training her in Ewigkeit, and in the Blade. He did so with the idea that she will come to take the now vacant Seat of Valkyria.

## **Dies Irae~Common Route**

### **Chapter 2: Xenophobia**

Valerian enters Suwahara and found himself lost, and was looking for assistance. Ren Fuji and Kazumi Ayase saw him struggling, and thus tried to assist him. Identifying himself as the guest that Rea Himurou was looking forward to, and asked to be led to the Church.
Thankful for their service, invited them to a meal in the Church.

He spoke with them for the purposes of confirming wether or not Ren was truly Zarathustra.

After bidding them fairwell he was met by Kei Sakurai, who told him that he shouldn't of entered Suwahara due to the high density of his Soul. He responded that he couldn't help himself, and ordered her to direct the fight of Zarathustra against Bey and Malleus.

### **Chapter 3: End of the Nightmare**

He is found in the Museum alongside Leonhardt to observe the Guillotine to see if it was properly absorbing souls, and if the Swastika was close to opening. Both of these were confirmed.

### **Chapter 4: ODESSA**

Valerian, along with all of the other Knights, met at the Table under the Church. Where he introduces Kei Sakurai to the Three Commanders, and than lays out instructions to the Knights of how they are supposed to go forth with the completion of the Ritual.

He made sure that they didn't simply massacure the entire city, and that they opened the Swastikas in the correct, sequential order.

He orders Spinne to attack Ren in order to teach him how the Ewigkeit works. Promising him that he would be given a leadership position in return. Though his true plan was for Spinne to die at his hands so that the second Swastika could be opened.

He came over to the defeated and dying Rot Spinne, insulting him for his cowardice. The fear and selfishness that led him to betray the Golden Beast. He than kills the weakened Spinne, releasing all of his Souls in order to open the Swastika.

### **Chapter 5: Holiday**

He joined in Kei Sakurai's fight against Ren Fuji, blocking his escape. Remarking that he as reached a point where capturing him alive has become quite an unreasonable course of action.

This is where he revealed his identity as a Knight of the Obsidian Round Table to Ren Fuji.

### **Chapter 6: King of Hollow**

Alone in the Church, Valerian was having audience with Reinhard Heydrich himself. Who was manifesting as a Shade , while his true self still resided in the Halls of Valhalla.

Reinhard remarked that over the sixty years since his dissapperance, Valerian was the only member of the Table who hasen't changed at all.

Reinhard asked him why he belived everyone at the table feared Karl Krafft so much, considering that he granted them their power. He argues that it's due to his power and mysteriousness, which makes everyone seem threatened, even when he is the reason they have power in the first place. And Reinhard, taking advantage of the topic, questioned Lohengrin's loyalty to him and his sworn friend.
The reason for this was that Valerian Trifa's Craving was inherently damaging to Reinhard's own plans. Which put his loyalty into question. He assured his Lord that he was indeed completely loyal.

They spoke of the state of Zarathustra, and Cristoff assured him that he was progressing adequetly, though was yet to reach any exceptional levels. And wouldn't have a chance even against himself, much less to the Beast himself.
Reinhard decided that he wanted to see his friend's creation with his own eyes.

Valerian orders Kei and Wilhelm to get Ren and bring him to the Table, so he can have an audience with Reinhard, as his lord desires. Though Ren fought back against them, only to have the fight stopped by Valerian.

## **Dies Irae ~ Kasumi Route**

### **Chapter 7: Death Indra**

After Liza Brenner opened the Third Swatika in the Bottomless Pit. He met with her on the bridge, where he informed her that she has completed her role in the ritual. And thus can let herself relax. Though he also informed her that he still intended to continue using Tubal Cain.

He perceived her sorrow, and deduced its source. Beliving it to be due to Rea's role in the ritual, and how she has to be sacrificed at the end of it all. Over the years Liza had grown close to Rea, and come to see her as a duaghter. Valerian stated that he too was closely attached to Rea. As if she were his own duaghter.

Valerian assures her that he's found an alternative, something that would save Rea from being sacrificed.

Though, as he saw Liza as a potential obstacle to his plans, drove his hand through her chest and tore out her heart. Burying it in the Theme Park, opening the Fourth Swastika. Managing to open two in a singular night.

He ordered Tubal Cain to go Rusulka, the woman who was to be his new Puppeter.

He later informed the rest of the Table that Liza's soul, due to her advanced age, had self-destructed. And this explanation was credible enough to be believed by everyone without question.

### **Chapter 9: Mass Murderer**

He appeared at Tsukinosawa High after it's Swastika was opened by Rusulka's death. There he took Rea away from Ren, not even giving him time to fight.

After her recovery he is filled with joy as his plan was coming to fruition. For he managed to open Five Swastika's without the Three Commanders, so he wouldn't have to worry about them interfering with his plans.

### **Chapter 10: Palida Mors**

He stops a quarrel between Wilhelm Ehrenburg and Kei Sakurai, and orders Kei to unseal Tubal Cain to fight against Ren.

This leads to the opening of the Sixth Swastika at Suwahara Tower, and fuels Kei's hatred of Ren as he was directly responsible for the death of her brother.

### **Chapter 11: Speculum Sine Macula (Spotless Mirror)**

He meets with Kasumi in the Theme Park, where he fills her with all of the Souls that roamed it. Filling her with Liza's memories, so that she learned of her true lineage.

After this Valerian asks her to come to the Church in order to take Rea's place as the Sonnenkind. And she agrees to his offer.

### **Chapter 13: Holy Ark**

He led her to the Church and into the Round Table hidden under it while Rea changed her clothes to prepare herself for the Ritual. -

The two have a personal conversation while they wait. But in time he grew tired of her, and leaves her unconciouss. =
After Ren defeats Kei and enters the Church, running into Rea. Who brings him to the Round Table. Where Valerian and Kasumi awaited him.

He and Ren fight, and it was a one sided massacure. For Ren couldn't even scratch his impervious armour. Leaving him open to a beating from the Holy Grail's fists.

He explained to the boy that his durability comes from the extremely high density of Souls that swirled withen his body. These souls grant him spiritual armour far stronger than any of the others Knights. So great that nothing in the universe could peirce his flesh.

Eventually he gets a hold of Ren and explains the truth of the Ritual. The sacrifice of the Sonnenkind and the coming of Valhalla, which will engulf the World in the Golden Beast's Light. And that he was trying to prevent this from happening. -
His collective persona breaks down as he begins smashing Ren's head against the floor, eventually smashing his skull. Though he quickly regenerated.

He explained to Ren that since Kasumi was an imperfect Sonnenkind her sacrifice will lead to a stillbirth, only allowing the tinest fraction of Valhalla to be manifested. He plans to sacrifice her so that he can get back the ten orphans that he sacrificed, and he will continue to repeat the ritual untill they all return from that Golden Hell. -
Ren calls him a man full of narcissism, which leads him to snap and attack him. Revealing his weakness, his easily exploited pysche. Thus he got Rea to question the priest. Asking if he ever loved her, which he explained that he did truly love her, and he is doing all of this out of his love for her. She than asks if he will continue to use her for his plan after Kasumi dies in this Ritual.

He answers that if Kasumi dies he will sire a child with Rea to bear another Sonnenkind, a discusting proclomation.
Immediatly afterward he activated his Beri'ah, Vanaheimr-Goldene Schwan Lohengrin, in order to kill Ren. Kasumi, who, as the Sonnenkind, had achieved a connection to Gladsheimr, used the gate in order to summon forth ten souls. The orphans that he had sacrificed. They told him not to cry, and tried to comfort him, and through their kindness and their pity he came to realize his wrongs.

Though it was too late, the Spear was fired, though was weakened alongside his craving. Making it far less lethal, but it was still capable to tearing Marie's soul out of Ren, causing his Guillotine to begin fading away.

Though he continued to charge forward, stabbing Valerian through the chest. Though Rea jumped in his way to protect him, and both wound up with a fatal wound.

As he dies he apologized to Rea, and his Soul is pulled into Valhalla. Where he is to become one of Reinhard's Einherjars, to live in eternal servitude.

## **Dies Irae ~ Kei Route**

### **Chapter 7: Death Indra**

He appears right after Eleonore von Wittenburg manifests and burns Liza Brenner to ashes on the Bridge. Where he asks her about her time in Valhalla.

She informs the priest that, while they pledge their allegience to Reinhard Heydrich, as he is their Acting Commander they will follow the orders of Valerian Trifa. Informing him that Machina and Schrieber were coming soon, before fading away.

He laments the fact that he wasn't the one who got to kill Liza, but her death opened a Swastika regardless, and did eliminate a major obstacle in his plan. So he accepted it, albiet with much chagrin.

He ordered Tubal Cain to go to Rusulka, who was to be his puppeter from than on.

### **Chapter 9: Einherjar**

Outside of the Church he had a conversation with Wilhelm Ehrenburg, who had noticed the explosion at the Theme Park.

Christof confirms that Samiel has indeed returned, and that it was her who destroyed the Theme Park and executed Liza. He says that she, being a proud soldier, won't show herself right now because of being incomplete.

During their conversation, Bey begins questioning Holy Grail about his loyalty, using Spinne's death as his reasons for it, as he feels it's suspicious that Valeria sent Spinne to Zarathustra. Likely knowing that he would die in combat.

After this conversation Wilhelm expresses his dissatisfaction with Leonhard August, and Valerian gave him full permission to kill her if he so desires. After getting such an answer, Wilhelm quickly left.

Soon afterward Valerian interferes with the battle between Wilhelm and Kei, helping the latter to slay Wilhelm so the Fifth Swastika could be opened. And right as Bey dies, he seizes Kazumi, who was in Wilhelm's hands.

He congratulates Kei for having opened a Swastika, for her job is now completed. And in slaying Bey she also showed a great degree of skill in defeating Bey.

With the Fifth Swastika opened the rest of the Einherjar were able to manifest in the Material Plane. Descending down from Gladshiem.

### **Chapter 10: Vanargand**

Valeria is, along with Samiel, is watching from the top of Tower while Schrieber sluaghtered citizens below them. They spoke of the various players in Shambala. Their compatibility with the Commanders, along with who they belived would defeat whom.

They also speak about Rusalka, who they consider a sly fighter that only fights those she belives that she can defeat, and about Tubal Cain, who is standing still behind them. Deeming her useless, just when Rusalka gets out of the elevator to the top of the Tower, Valeria told Cain that she was the Divine Vessel, and he, blinded by wrath. Killed the Witch. Opening the Sixth Swastika.

Valerian and Eleonore travel to Tsukinosawa High, where Ren, Kei, and Shirou were fighting against Albedo; and right as he arrives Valerian activated his Beri'ah to remove Schrieber from the Ritual, and punches directly through the Ashen Knight's chest, killing him.
