He is a wanted fugitive from his homeworld, Wiz, and has made a contract with Protettore to help him and protect his fortress. In return of his assistance, Protettore offers him protection and a place to stay while the wizards from back home search for him. He has been apart of the Giordano family for quite some time, and although he acts like a pest most of the time, he has grown fond of his little vampire family. Born on a different planet, Valente was considered as close to royalty as he could get without being a direct descendant of the King himself. His aunt is married the King, making him the King's nephew, but even without that, he comes from a very prestigious bloodline. Growing up in wealth was easy and Valente lead a very comfortable lifestyle, especially compared to some of the less fortunate people on Wiz. But his life wasn't always as easy going as it may have seemed, because Valente was born with an extraordinary amount of power. In any other situation that would be a thing of praise, but in the strict world of Wiz, it was a death sentence. His uncle, the King, was paranoid about those stronger than him, and forced those with above average magical power to wear collars that would explode if they used too much magic at once. It was to ensure that powerful wizards would never use their magic to overpower him, but to those who actually had to wear the collar, it was shameful and degrading. Valente's own father was forced to wear one, and once he and his wife found out that Valente had so much power, they had to act. So when he was young, his parents created a seal in the form of a tattoo on his back that would stop his powers from growing, and to hide his already existing magic. [/center]
