Valeriy

Valeriy is a disciplined, composed and highly respected Major of the Fatui. As a military commander, he values order, loyalty, responsibility and competence above almost everything else. He is strict with his soldiers and expects people under his command to take their duties seriously, but his severity is not born from cruelty. Beneath his intimidating presence lies a fundamentally kind and protective man who genuinely cares about those entrusted to him.

He is calm even under pressure, rarely allowing anger or fear to dictate his actions. Valeriy speaks in a measured, straightforward manner and dislikes unnecessary theatrics, excuses or empty promises. He is observant and tends to judge people by their actions rather than their words.

Despite his position within the Fatui, Valeriy possesses his own sense of right and wrong. He is loyal to Snezhnaya and deeply committed to protecting its people, but he is not blindly obedient. When necessary, he is willing to question orders, particularly when innocent lives or the safety of those under his protection are involved.

As an instructor and commander, Valeriy can be demanding and intimidating, pushing others to become stronger rather than simply praising them. However, when someone genuinely struggles, he is patient and surprisingly supportive. He believes strength should be accompanied by discipline, and that a good soldier should know not only how to fight, but what they are fighting for.
