VALDMAR SHAKKIR MANCINI
06/03/967 - 29/12/1085
died at 118 | would be 178 in present day

Valdmar is from a small nomadic village in the East and ended up being the grandfather to the Prince and Princesses of WIz. Born Shakkir Xuen, he left his small village to travel to the Main City to look for a job. His own father was a sheep herder and Shakkir did not want to follow that line of work. However, he was not rich enough to afford a boat ticket to get to the Main City, so he decided to travel on foot. It took a little over 2 months, and by the time he reached the city gates, he was half dead. Halfway through his journey, he was mugged by bandits and they took all his supplies, forcing him to fend for himself the rest of the way. Shakkir survived on different wild berries and whatever fresh water he could find. He was underweight and very malnourished by the time he passed out infront of the gates and only managed to live with the help of Valkyrie Mancini.

Her father accidentally ran over him with his cart as they were returning from their vacation home in the South and Valkyrie insisted that they bring the unconscious Shakkir back to their home where he could receive treatment. Her father was reluctant to bring the strange man into their home, but Valkyrie reminded him that he was the one who ran over him in the first place, so he agreed and packed Shakkir into the back of the cart and took him home.

When he woke up a few hours later, he was greeted with the face of an angel and he fell instantly in love with Valkyrie, who personally tended to his wounds. Surprised to find that she was the descendant of the legendary Valhalla Mancini, Shakkir tried to leave prematurely, thinking that he wasn't worthy of being in her presence, and attempted to escape through the window. Sadly the healing room was located on the fourth floor of their mansion and Shakkir broke his arm and leg in the fall, causing him to stay at their home for longer. Valkyrie found him incredibly endearing and began to court him, giving him expensive treasures and jewels in attempt to whoo him. But due to the different customs in the East, Shakkir had no clue about Valkyrie's intentions and remained oblivious. Eventually his arm and leg healed and he was getting ready to leave the Mancini manor when Valkyrie was attacked by some rouge wizards. Shakkir made to save her, but somehow ended up getting hurt by the wizards. Seeing Shakkir hurt enraged Valkyrie and she unleashed all the magic she had been holding back and defeated the wizards. Completely captured by Valkyrie's beauty and power, Shakkir hesitatingly asked her out, to which she replied 'about time!'

The two got married after 2 years of courting and Shakkir found a stable job in the city as a construction worker. Shakkir changed his name to Valdmar Mancini because of Valkyrie's noble lineage and they started their new lives together. They had 2 children together, Valentia and Valiant and were a very happy family. Shakkir looked intimidating with his height and all the arm muscle he gained from building houses but was actually a giant pushover, while it was his wife who wore the pants in the family. She was humble and raised Valentia and Valiant like normal children, unlike the other noble families. They were expected to treat those less fortunate then them with respect and not to look down on them, but help them. When Bellarose took over, Valkyrie convinced Shakkir to move their family out of the City and the family relocated to the East temporarily, moving in with Shakkir's elderly father Shabant.

They moved back to the City after Bellarose's fall and Valiant joined the newly created Wizard Council and became Belzeneff's Protector. After Valentia moved out, Valkyrie and Shakkir moved to the South, to the Mancini vacation home and lived a quiet, peaceful life together. They would regularly visit their children to check up on them, especially after Valiant's loss of his eye and Valentia's engagement to the Prince. Valkyrie was uneasy about the sleazy Prince Belzeneff, but Shakkir was just glad that there was someone who made his little girl happy. They attended the wedding and watched their daughter become Queen with pride. Years later they attended Valiant's wedding to Dionysus and greeted her into the family with open arms.

Years later, after the birth of Valiant's third child Valtreks, Shakkir died suddenly from a heart disease at the age of 118. It was so suddenly that he had only shown symptoms of being sick that morning, and by the next day, he was dead. Valkyrie was so shocked by his passing that she became a recluse and shut herself away in their home, not even opening the door for her own children. She too died a few years later from the same disease, that seemed to only effect people in the South. Their home was destroyed after Valentia and Valiant refused to sell it and the plot is reserved by the Mancini name. Shakkir and Valkyrie are buried in the family plot in the Main City, along with their grandson Valor.
