### Face claim

Moritz Hau

Atty. **Valentin Alexei Verano y Bonifacio**, J.D., LL.M. (born 02 August 2029) is part of the wealthy and famous Verano clan from the Philippines as the third child and second son of Nikolai Xavier Verano and Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio. He is the younger brother of Viktor and Vasilisa, and the older brother of Veronika, Vladimir, Valeriya, Vladislav and Violetta. Despite the fact that he and his siblings are licensed pilots as influenced by their parents, he decided to be an attorney by profession in hopes to contribute with the family business with its continuous growth; hence, after securing his license to practice law, he joined Liberté Law Firm, the legal management company under the Verano Group of Companies.

He is the deuteragonist of *Open skies*, the first spin-off story of the *FLIGHT* series, alongside Camille Soleil Vannier, a Monegasque socialite and law student, who served as the story's protagonist and later his wife.

His mother informed his father of the pregnancy on the latter's thirty-first birthday; according to his mother, an additional present that both of them were hoping for concerning their growing family.

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; and was christened on 22 December 2029 at Santuario de San Antonio Parish Church at Forbes Park, Makati, Philippines, before being followed by a reception at the McKinley Ballroom of Alethea the Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines.
