VALEN "GRIM" RADOSLAV

• Species: ExoHuman
• Born: 2586 aboard the Last Frontier
• Affiliation: Jane Mendoza Gang, former leader of the “Valen Group”
• Place of Residence: Jane Mendoza Gang's Headquarters

Valen Radoslav was born aboard the Last Frontier into a third-generation ExoHuman family. Growing up within the tightly regulated environment of the ship, Valen quickly grew to despise authority, viewing the structured hierarchy as stifling and repressive. Crime offered him an avenue to defy this control, and upon arriving on VOI 700 D, he began his career with petty thefts. His natural talent for violence and strategy, however, soon drew him into more dangerous criminal endeavors.

During the Great War, Valen took advantage of the lawlessness by forming his own group, the “Valen Group,” which thrived on chaos. His group committed robberies, murders, and resource thefts amidst the conflict, preying on settlements with ruthless efficiency. In 2634, he joined the Jane Mendoza Gang, where his expertise in violent crime earned him a position as an Associate.

For a brief period, Valen and Jane Mendoza were romantically involved, though their relationship ended on tense terms. Despite this, Valen remains one of Jane’s most trusted associates, known for his brutal efficiency and calculated approach to violence.
