Valjakka

**Valjakka** was an Archangel and wielder of Sacred Sword **Camael** who served his position for over ten years; despite this position, he was forced into servitude of fallen Archdemon Shere Khan.

## Appearance & Personality

Valjakka was described as being in his early thirties, with long blonde hair, and being "the picture of a chivalrous knight". Because of this however, fellow Archangels, like Kaltiainen, would teased him; saying he looked "Dainty".

In public, Valjakka tried to main the picture perfect knight image by defending ladies and being very kind to others. Beneath the visage of picture perfect knighthood, Valjakka was an angry, vile man. Years of being forced into servitude by Shere Khan seemed to have broken a once proud and chivalrous man. Under Shere Khan's slavery, Valjakka began to break down from the monstrous acts he was forced to commit going as far to to beat others beneath him with no mercy even taking joy in it. Valjakka would grow a special disdain for Dexia & Aristella for their constant teasing. Valjakka regularly engaged in heavy drinking to cope with his years of deception.

## Background

In his earlier years, Valjakka was a proud Archangel, being partnered with future Archangel Chastille Lillqvist's, older brother **Sylvester Lillqvist** as his adjutant. On one of their missions five years before start of the story, Valjakka ran into Shere Khan on his infamous **Rare-Species Hunt** and engaged the Archdemon. This engagement ended in disaster for Valjakka as all his Knights were killed including Sylvester and he was only spared by becoming a spy for Shere Khan.

In time, Valjakka would go on to sell out many fellow Angelic Knights to Shere Khan's servants Dexia and Aristella. Eventually Valjakka gained enough information of the secret **Azazel Squadron** to help Shere Khan completely annihilate the squadron of assassins.

## Plot

### Holy City Raziel arc

Valjakka was summoned to an emergency Archangel meeting by Head Archangel Ginias Galahad II at the Chivalric Order's headquarters, the Holy City of Raziel. While waiting for everyone to show up, Valjakka defended Chastille from more hawkish Archangels like Kaltiainen for her being more lenient on Sorcerers and leading the **Unification Faction**. During the announcement that thieves were in the Treasury, Valjakka teamed up with Chastille to search for the thieves.

When Bifrons caused all groups to come together, Valjakka was shocked to discover that "Valefor" was actually defected Archangel Raphael Hyurandell still alive and revealing his allegiance to Zagan. With the ensuing chaos of other Archangels and Archangels trainees, namely Chastille, Michael Diekmeyer, and Stella Diekmeyer, being in some form of "friendship" with Zagan, Valjakka dueled Raphael until all parties left the Treasury.

Later, Valjakka began to drink his anger away while fuming about Raphael's defection. In his drunken stupor, Barbatos arrived and confronted Valjakka with his treachery to his Order; revealing he and Zagan figured out he was Shere Khan's spy. Valjakka begged for mercy but Barbatos placed a warning curse upon him and left him with his warning to never threaten Chastille's life.

### Volume 12

Eventually, Shere Khan ordered Valjakka to work with two other subordinates to hunt down the now renegade Dexia. Finally having enough of Dexia, Valjakka hunted her down and took great pleasure beating her senseless as she defiantly mocked him, only further enraging him. As he appeared to *grievously* would her to near death, Dexia was saved by the timely arrival of Kuroka Adelhide and Shax.

Right away, Kuroka revealed herself to be a member of the fallen Azazel Squadron and swiftly disarmed Valjakka, literally by cutting off his right hand. This was the final straw for Valjakka's sanity as he freaked out and started cursing Zagan, Shere Khan, and Chastille to death, however this caused Barbatos' previous curse to activate as he threatened Chastille's live. With the activation, Valjakka was killed.

Shax would go on to report his death as well as return Camael to Ginias, who mourned his death as despite his secret treachery, he was popular among the Angelic Knights. Zagan had requested Shax keep Valjakka's betrayal a secret from the Order so public opinion and morale wouldn't further diminish.
