Valerie Kohler

### Other Relatives

Anne Kohler mother in law, Timothy Kohler father in law, Grandchild  (name unreleased).

## About

### Affiliations

Kohler & Kohler Law Firm, John F. Kennedy High School

### Hobbies

Cooking, Working, Shopping

**Valerie Maria Kohler** (née Santiago) is one of the main supporting characters in 'Unexpected and Unplanned'. She is the mother of main character, Kelsi Kohler and is also the wife of Will Kohler.

**Book Description:** A loving, caring, soft mother with a side of badass, Val makes sure to take no shit but do no harm. For her three daughters, she'd take a bullet. Of course, she isn't thrilled about Kelsi's newfound motherhood. Having gone through teen parenthood herself, Valerie is the first to understand truly how Kelsi feels.

Valerie Maria Kohler, born Valerie Santiago, lives in Buffalo, New York. She lives in the Kohler Residency, which belongs to the McLendon Cul-De-Sac. She is an attorney and Co-President of Kohler & Kohler Law Firm along with her husband.

From the beginning of the book, Valerie is known to be supporting of Kelsi's decision to keep her baby with Winn Wilson. It is made known that Valerie and Will went through teen parenthood with their first child, Kaydi. The reason behind their extreme support is because they wanted to give Kelsi the support that they wish they had during their situation.

Valerie is close with Kelsi's best friend, Aspen, knowing that Aspen's parents are always busy and don't have time for her. Valerie tries to be a parental figure for Aspen, always making sure the girl is fed and taken care of. She also spends a lot of Mother/Daughter time with Aspen, taking her shopping and spending time with her. Although she already has three daughters of her own, her philosophy on having Aspen around is *'What's one more?'*

Valerie is not on the best terms with her mother in law, Anne, as found out in Chapter 5. Anne was not the most supportive of Will and Valerie's decision to raise Kaydi and she wanted them to place the baby up for adoption. When Anne is unsupportive of Kelsi's decision, Valerie puts Anne in her place, saying that she is Kelsi's mother and she will make decisions; not the grandparents.

In her early 20's, Valerie worked extremely hard to become an attorney so she could partner at Kohler & Kohler Law Firm, where her husband would be taking over his father's position. Despite the odds, both Will and Valerie made it through college and became licensed lawyers at a young age.

While Will and Valerie were content with having two daughters, they surprisingly became pregnant with daughter #3, Kenzi when Kelsi was 13. Seeing how good Kelsi had been when her sister was a baby, Valerie believes Kelsi will do just fine raising a baby.

Valerie was friends with Tess Wilson when they were both attending John F. Kennedy High School together. Tess supported Valerie's decision to keep Kaydi in high school, often babysitting the young girl before becoming pregnant with her own child, Dax Wilson. Their friendship didn't stay very strong when both of their lives seemed too busy, but they remained on good terms.
Magical Power

In the New World, there is a concept of ****Magical Power**** (魔力, *Maryoku*?), but there is no concept of **Magic** such as releasing fire or water, and Magical Power is generally used as energy to strengthening the body and weapons, and healing exists, but is difficult.

## History

It is theorized by the Cult of Diablos that 10 millions years ago, the world of "The Eminence in Shadow" originally did not possess Magical Power. That is until the realms collided, with one of these realms pouring Magical Power into the world. The Dragons went extinct due to their inability to adapt to the Magical Power while the humans, elves and beastkin thrived.

## Capabilities

The presence or absence of Magical Power is determined by talent, but it is not uncommon to have Magical Power, and it is possible to develop Magical Power with effort.

Fighting an opponent with Magical Power without Magical Power is a clear difference and can be called suicidal. For this reason, although there are several schools of martial arts, they can be won by forceful push with Magical Power, and from the perspective of Cid, who learned various martial arts in his previous life, pure fighting techniques have not been refined.

Because of the nature of Magical Power to dissipate uncontrollably as soon as it leaves one's body, the use of Magical Power to send out slashes of Magical Power requires an enormous amount of Magical Power and the ability to control Magical Power to a degree that is almost beyond the norm.

Magical Power can sometimes physically manifest itself depending on the user's skill, giving off colors and other visual depictions. People who can do this can create Special Techniques, what kind of power they possessed depends on the one who creates the Special Technique.

## Weapon Enhancement

**Weapon Enhancement** (武器強化, *Buki kyōka*?) is one of the core uses of magical power used in the world of *The Eminence in Shadow*. All types of materials exhibit conductivity with magical power.

Shadow Garden uses a unique material for their equipment: slime jelly. The weakest monster in the world has a ridiculous conductive ability, reaching 99%, allowing it to be easily shaped and controlled by magical power. The clothing and weapons used by Shadow Garden are made entirely of slime jelly, granting their weapons and clothing extreme adaptability and durability, all dependant on the magic capabilities of the individual.

### Magic Conductivity:

* Steel: 10%
* Iron: 10%[WEB NOVEL ONLY]
* Mithril: 50%
* Slime: 99%

## Body Reinforcement

**Body Strengthening** (身体強化, *Karada kyōka*?) is the most basic form of using magical power in the world. With varying degrees of ability, magical power allows the human body to go beyond its normal limits and achieve amazing feats.
Malak

**Malak** (マラック,, *Marakku*?), Also known as "Malak the Malevolent", is a Dragon that has its territory, near the City of Madlid, in the kingdom of Velgalta. He once fought against Eta and Gamma, when they were still very young, in search of oil resources, in the Dragon's domain.

## Personality.

He is stated to only have his base instincts as a beast with very little intelligence, not being able to detect a boulder that was moving along side it and being fooled by a very obvious slime-clone of Gamma.

The Mist Dragon attributes this behaviour that due to his immortality as a dragon, which in turn led to him no longer having any natural predators. Which in turn slowly eroded his spirit and soul over the 10 million years that he has been alive for.

## Appearance.

It has the appearance of a giant lizard with two distinct scars on his back. Eta attributes these scars to Malak originally possessing wings.

## Chronology.

Malak lived in the world 10 million years ago prior to the introduction of Magic into the world. After Magic was introduced to the world, he gained immortality as a dragon and continued to live the next 10 million years living as a beast in his territory.

## Powers and Abilities.

Malak is noted to possess a dragons signature Immortality and Endurance. Being able to heal from any injury nigh-instantly and being able to fight against Gamma for almost a full day and night despite not showing any signs of fatigue.

The Mist Dragon has also stated that he has reached an "Evolutionary Dead-end" and that he is no longer able to evolve or develop new skills or abilities.

However, his abilities have been noted to be relativity weak for a dragon, with a young Delta being able to overpower him with little effort.

## Curiosities.

Although many characters had questioned whether or not Malak is an actual Dragon, The Mist Dragon himself confirmed his identity.

Altena Empire

***Stub:*** This article is a stub. You can help *The Eminence in Shadow Wiki* by expanding it.

## Debut

### Manga

Chapter 20 (Mentioned)

**Altena Empire** (アルテナ帝国（ていこく）, *Arutena teikoku*?) is the empire where the Altena imperial family lives and the birthplace of Mundane Mann.

## History

The Altena Empire was mentioned by Gamma while Cid Kagenou was deciding on what face to wear as a disguise to the Bushin Festival.

## Military

As an imperial state, Altena likely stands with an active army and knight order.
Ghouls

****Ghouls**** (グール, *Gūru*?) are a race in the world of *The Eminence in Shadow* that are zombie-like vampires familiars created by vampires.

Ghouls are beings that were originally humans who were then turned into Vampire servants.

## Appearance

Ghouls have black eyes with red pupils, these eyes turn bright blood red completely, when Being under the effects of the Red Moon, they have pale, lifeless skin, and sharp teeth visible through their slightly open mouths.

They have partially strong musculature, which becomes significantly visible and somewhat robust, for those who see them, and these physical capabilities become even tougher, when the ghouls are under the effects of the red moon, causing them to begin to parts of their facial and corporeal characteristics, causing it to sometimes not be possible to distinguish whether they were men or women.

## General Information

Ghouls' movements closely resemble those of a beast rather than a human, displaying a remarkable vitality. However, it appears that Ghouls have completely lost their sense of reason.

They're classified as more powerful creatures than zombies, yet far from vampires which serve as lesser pawns.

## Power & Abilities

They are under the control of the vampire who bites them. They eat human flesh and are intelligent enough to their instinct. Due to their undead state, ghouls possess low-level invulnerability to conventional injury; allowing them to survive multiple slash wounds and even being dismembered. It is not rare to see a vampire amass a small army of ghouls for offense and defense. Despite their relative skill, compared to the lumbering undead of other lore, they are still quite slow and lack the intellect to execute any manner of defensive maneuvers, making them vulnerable to specialized weaponry. Once they have been tainted, ghouls cannot be cured, and can only be saved by ending their suffering.

In any way, they're not smart; in fact, they can be considered brainless. They're just moving corpses, however, with far superior durability and strength than that of even the strongest humans. Despite this fact, they're slow and that's what makes them so easy yet sometimes, so hard to kill; because of the fact that creatures like this are kept secretive, so normal humans meeting them would easily freak out. That is one of the advantages ghouls get, despite being easily killed by experts and such. Ghouls are also considered "failures who've unsuccessfully attempted to become full-fledged vampires", but they're still monsters to be feared.

Plus, when the Red Moon appears, the number of Ghouls will increase with their strength increasing when illuminated by moonlight.

Holy Nestle

Holy Nestle is an annual flowering plant that is often used to ward off demons and demonic energies.

## Description

Holy Nestle is commonly mistaken for Nettles as they both do look similar. The plant is known to be quite small during the winter seasons when it grows and quite big during the summer months. The plant itself is a deep green with thin black veins growing throughout. Its roots are of yellow color with the same black veins growing throughout it.

It is believed that Holy Nestle has black veins due to where they grow. They are commonly found where demons are have been said to be summoned. Scholars believe that it absorbs the residual demonic energy and uses it as fuel similar to how other plants use the sun for thier energy needs.

It is possible that the plant is actually nettles that have been corrupted by the demonic energy.

## Uses

Due to the plant's nature to literally eat demonic energy, it is often used to ward off demons as they fear the plant's ability. The black veins can be extracted from the plant and made into a paste that can be used in poisons and potions alike to either hurt demons or treat those attacked by them.

## Shadow Garden

### Shadow / John Smith

She has a deep respect and loyalty to her lord Shadow. When 664 faced John Smith, she attacked him without knowing that it was her Lord, Shadow. Although she defended the innocence of her squad mate, 666, when Shadow exclaimed he would not forgive her, 664 accepted and respected her lord's will, even when it did not fit her. However, 664 was happy to see Rose was still alive by Shadow's will, and aided them in the counterassault against Mordred. Being able to stay with Rose as one of her undercover maids while Oriana Kingdom rebuilt after the Black Rose, 664's loyalty to her master was steadfast and grateful.

### Alpha

She has respect and loyalty to Alpha, since she is the second-in-command of Shadow Garden, to which 664 wants to demonstrate her good results to her superiors and does not like things to get out of control. When she reported her failure in the mission to investigate the source of the counterfeit bills to Alpha and Gamma, the sudden interjection by 666 pleading with their leaders to give them another chance startled 664 and they began to argue in front of their superiors without knowing that they were not complaining about nothing.

### Beta

She has respect and loyalty to Beta like the other Seven Shadows of Shadow Garden. When Beta led the Crimson Tower investigation and the support measure for Cid's sister, 664 followed her orders to the letter and adapted under pressure.

### 559

664 holds respect for 559 given the latter is her superior in rank and senior within Shadow Garden. Even though she makes hasty and jumpy decisions at times, when 559 accused 666 of being a traitor in front of lord Shadow, 664 would vocally disagree and defended the innocence of her partner, 666.

### 665

She has a sympathy and trust with 665, despite their opposite behaviors, since more than once has 664 scolded her for her sleepy and semi-distracted way of working. When they reported their failure in the mission to Alpha, 664 began to argue with 666 before Alpha ordered them to leave quietly, to which 665 removed both of her teammates. 665 would fight alongside 664 as they helped Rose in the battle against Mordred, and 665 would happily join 664 undercover as Rose's maids as Oriana Kingdom rebuilt after the Black Rose event.

### Rose Oriana

Rose is one of 664's squad-mates following her induction into Shadow Garden as no.666. While 664 was annoyed at how Rose didn't follow protocol and acted on her own, 664 cared for Rose and even defended her when she abandoned Shadow Garden to protect her mother. When Shadow Garden chose to defend the Oriana Kingdom, 664 immediately came to Rose's aid and made her friendship with the new monarch blatant. After Mordred's defeat and the Black Rose was ceased, 664 continued to watch over Rose as one of her maids alongside 665, undercover for Shadow Garden.

## Family

### Sherry Barnett

Lukreia's daughter. Lutheran never held any genuine affection towards her as he used the late-researcher's daughter as a means to cure his illness. He proudly admits alongside the murder of her mother to Cid who became disgusted when he confronted the former Round Knight. This admission would ultimately be his undoing when Shadow gave retribution to the former Round Knight. Still, he died laughing knowing that Sherry who saw his death at the hands of Shadow will have a vendetta against the latter while successfully fooling her till the end that he was a good adoptive father.

## Cult of Diablos

### Zenon Griffey

Fellow Cult member and infiltrator. Despite having seniority over the former instructor, Zenon had more authority over him most in due to being a candidate to replace his former seat within the Round Knights. However neither higher up members would earn the position of the 12th seat as both were killed by Shadow.

### Rex

Subordinate. The relationship between the two was tense due to how little to no respect the two had for each other. Lutheran was patient with the Child's attitude until he reported what happen with the Eye of Avarice to which he was enraged and had threaten him to retrieve it from Sherry. When Rex didn't come back, the former Round Knight called him useless unaware that he was killed by Shadow.

## Shadow Garden

### Cid Kagenou / Shadow

Initially, Lutheran did not have much thought on the student as he encouraged his stepdaughter to form a friendship with him. Much of it has changed when he was confronted by him and impressed by his foresight. In combat, much of his perception was in likeness of the former statement.

As Shadow however, the former Round Knight acknowledged his strength and knew he was at a disadvantage against him. Even with the Eye of Avarice, he was no match against him and was ultimately killed.

## Others

### Lukreia

Sherry's mother. Lukreia believed Lutheran to be a genuine friend when she was shunned by her colleges. Lutheran however saw otherwise as he only used her as a means to cure his illness until she went against working on the Eye of Avarice. Enraged, Lutheran brutally murdered the researcher in front of her daughter and used her to work on the artifact in her stead. This would ultimately be his undoing when Shadow killed him upon admitting to the murder and exploitation.

	+ According to what is understood, on the part of **Alpha** and **Eta**, it is speculated that they had planned to make more than one, but until today, it has not been possible to confirm it.

Chronology

#### Cid Kagenou / Shadow

Chi is steadfastly loyal to Shadow, aware of his secret identity as Cid Kagenou. It was his methodology that developed a cure for Demon Possession and provided her a new purpose against the Cult for their conspiracy against her nearly taking her life.

### Seven Shadows

#### Alpha

The two originally did not get along very well, mainly because of her previous history working for the cult. During Chi's interrogation, Alpha continually questioned everything Chi had done her entire life up until that point, continually pointing out that she was in reality, turning a blind eye to all of the cult's atrocities in the name of keeping the peace while Chi continually denied the accusations, stating that it was the only way to keep everyone alive. However, the two would eventually make up after Chi is forced to realize the true gruesomeness of the cult's actions.

Chi as such, respects and obeys Alpha's orders as the one who directs everything by being the second in command, when her Lord Shadow is not present, in addition to having some security by having her as one of those who helped her, along with Epsilon.

#### Beta

Chi has aided Beta in a secretary capacity with information gathering and attending to her while she was in the Midgar capital branch of Mitsugoshi.

#### Gamma

Chi met Gamma while she was in a remote village of the Madlid region, she was shown to be surprised by Gamma's lack of sword skills. She also defended Gamma along with Eta thinking they were just innocent children.

#### Delta

Chi, like Nu, would serve Delta her lunches and dinners as the therianthrope rested at Mitsugoshi HQ.

#### Epsilon

Chi works as a direct subordinate of Epsilon, and is aware about her fake slime body, but pretends not to notice it as she cares about her.

#### Eta

Chi met Eta while she was in a remote village of the Madlid region. Eta was shown to be fascinated of Chi due to her connection to the Cult and intended to use her as a test subject much to Chi's horror.

### Numbers

#### Lambda

Chi and Lambda were once contemporaries in Velgalta, but Lambda was sooner recruited by Shadow Garden and became Chi's instructor upon defecting to Shadow Garden.

#### Nu

Chi is Nu's junior within Shadow Garden-- Nu joined at 93 while Chi joined at 111. Both have a positive and professional working relationship, especially when Chi works at Mitsugoshi HQ and assists Nu with her duties under Gamma.

#### Omega

As both are direct subordinates of Epsilon, both have developed an efficient process under their commander. Both have also shown a slight display of friendship when in their civilian dress. While not aiding Epsilon, Chi would be joined by Omega in aiding Nu under Alpha and Gamma's command, overseeing and reviewing their asset overview at Mitsugoshi.
Human

**Human** (人間, *Ningen*?) is one of the races in the world of *The Eminence in Shadow*.

* Manga
* Anime

## Professional Information

### Occupation

* Numbers Member
* Maid to Queen Rose Oriana (Disguise)

### Affiliation

Shadow Garden
Oriana Kingdom (Undercover)

## Portrayal

### English

Dominique Meyer

**Nami** (ナミ, *Nami*?) is a member of Shadow Garden, being one of the Numbers under the codename **No. 664**. She is the leader of a three-person squad consisting of herself, 665, and 666. After 666 becomes queen of the Oriana Kingdom, she works undercover as one of her maids.

## Appearance

664 is a beautiful young female Elf with short blue hair, blue eyes, a small beauty mark just left of center on her forehead, and a short but athletic, slim figure to contrast her from her partner, 665. As a member of Shadow Garden, she wears a dark Slime Bodysuit with gold and white accents on the sides of her chest in a standard issue uniform for new members of Shadow Garden but started wearing a small cape to denote her position as her team's leader.

## Personality

664 is a very diligent person who takes her role as platoon leader seriously. Apart from being a leader, she is a strict and kind girl as she expects her comrades to have the same dedication to Shadow Garden as her and often reminds them to keep their focus on their objective.

However, she is not as extreme as people like Victoria, knowing her limits and prioritizing the safety of her subordinates whilst taking full responsibly for their failures. Also, as per Shadow Garden's policy, she does not pry into her comrades' pasts. Overall, despite her tough exterior, 664 genuinely cares for her comrades, though she is too stubborn to admit it.

## Power & Abilities

### Swordsmanship

664 after being saved from her demonic possession and being entered by the Shadow Garden, she has a skill and management of fencing that good that combined with her magic, she can face it and resist a fight against "First Children" of the Cult of Diablos.

### Analyst

She also has a very good intelligence to be able to analyze their opponents well, although not in time to be able to counteract them. During her fight with John Smith, she was able to analyze the magical steel threads that he handled with his hands but wondered how she could face it. It was not until later when she was immobilized that there were other types of threads made of mana but invisible to the eyes of living beings.
Eye of Avarice

The **Eye of Avarice** (強欲（ごうよく）の瞳（ひとみ）, *Gōyoku no Hitomi*?) is an ancient artifact item that has been created by an ancient magical civilization to absorb and gathering magic from its surroundings inside the artifact.

## Overview

This artifact is inscribed with ancient symbols that are exceedingly intricate and challenging to decipher, requiring the expertise of a seasoned researcher in ancient texts.

Furthermore, while this artifact can be utilized as a weapon, it possesses a limitation in terms of its ability to store magic for extended periods. Nevertheless, it proves highly effective in the short term, even if its capacity to retain power is limited.

To overcome the artifact's deficiency in autonomous movement, a control unit is incorporated. When the artifact is properly connected to the control device, it becomes fully functional, eliminating its limitations and enabling it to store magic for short-term usage.

The true potential of the Eye of Avarice is realized when all the constituent parts are combined with the control unit. This amalgamation grants the wielder an immense surge of magical power, transcending all restrictions, and even possesses the ability to alleviate ailments.

## History

This artifact was discovered by the former 12th seat Knight of Rounds, Lutheran Barnett who wanted to perfect the artifact so that his illness could be cured by taking advantage of both Lukreia and Sherry Barnett's help that he could research the artifact to its completion.

## Functions

* **Magic Absorption Storage**: The Eye can absorb and collects the magic around it. When it’s activated, it’s harder to hone magic in the area.
* **Magic Blocking Field**: The Eye can make a field that can blocking any magic on the user, except it has been programmed the Eye to recognize the magical wavelength and be able to use magic inside the field. The control device has the power to temporarily disable the Eye magic blocking field by altering it only preparing the mithril tweezers, the bone powder of earth dragons, and the enchanted stone of ash, etc. Then, bring the activated control unit closer to the Eye.

## Similarities

The **Eye of Avarice** fulfills similar functions as the core of the Sanctuary, with the difference that the core of the Sanctuary is superior in terms of absorption capacity and potential than the artifact.

## Weakness

This artifact cannot absorb microscopic magic particles, and neither can magic energies that are too solid and toughened to the point of being impossible to absorb, including very powerful explosive energies, which exceed the absorption level of the artifact. This was seen when Cid was able to exercise his magic on a minuscule level without problem after faking his death inside the absorption dome of the "Eye of Greed", when the cult decided to attack the Midgar Academy.
