Race and Faction
- Species: ExoHuman
- Age: 49 years (born 2594 aboard the Last Frontier)
- Affiliation: Jane Mendoza Gang, former leader of the “Valen Group”
Background
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.
Biography
Born into a third-generation exohuman family aboard the Last Frontier, Valen Radoslav grew up in the shadows of the oppressive regulations of the ship’s hierarchy. He quickly developed a disdain for authority and saw crime as a way to challenge the system. After arriving on VOI 700 D, Valen started small, engaging in petty theft, but his talents for violence and strategy quickly propelled him to more significant roles within the criminal underworld.
During the Great War, while many fought for survival, Valen founded the so called “Valen group”. Valen’s group operated independently, committing robberies and murders under the chaos of war. The “Valen Group” thrived on the lawlessness, targeting settlements, and stealing resources. By 2634, they joined the Jane Mendoza Gang, where Valen's expertise in violent crime earned him the position of an Associate.
For six months after joining the gang, Valen and Jane Mendoza were lovers. However, the relationship ended as quickly as it began, leaving behind a complicated dynamic. Valen remained Jane’s trusted associate despite the end of their romantic involvement.
Personality
Valen is as ruthless as Jane Mendoza but operates with a more calculated approach. Both share a history of brutality, but Valen is driven more by pragmatism than impulse. His cold, efficient methods contrast with Jane’s emotional volatility. Their shared love for violence and crime initially bonded them, but Valen’s calm demeanor ultimately diverged from Jane’s impulsive, unpredictable nature.
While not driven by ideology, Valen has little regard for the laws of the Federal Confederation. He views the chaos of crime as a more natural order, seeing structure and authority as tools of control to be defied.
Physical Appearance
Standing at 1.88 meters, with lean muscle built through years of combat, Valen has a rugged, hardened look. His dark brown hair is close-cropped, and his face bears a long scar from a failed robbery attempt. His sharp brown eyes give him an intimidating presence, one that keeps even his allies on guard.
Valen wears practical, dark clothes suited to life on the Dark Side, along with the infrared tattoo shared by gang members, making him invisible to anyone without night vision.
Role in the Jane Mendoza Gang
Valen is responsible for overseeing the gang’s most dangerous operations, such as robberies, kidnappings, and extortion schemes. His leadership has expanded the gang’s reach into high-value targets, specializing in ambushes on Federal Courier Service caravans. His team has garnered a reputation for leaving no witnesses, and he commands respect from his subordinates for always keeping a cool head in deadly situations.
