Some believe that he is a shadow of what was Earth before the Millennia War, an immortal creature who roams freely through the night.

He travels Doi'Xua with but a bird for companion, never leaving his side for the past 10 years. He knows not where it comes from, but he enjoys the company.

What is known of Val'Kius is that he takes any job if the pouch is heavy enough. A Hiep of very high profile, his past may not be common knowledge, but his name is one that all fear, for when your head is worth it's weight in gold...it won't be your head for very long.
