Valery

Valery (Валерий) is an influential Fatui officer from Snezhnaya who hasn't officially appeared in the game yet, but is already known from the trailer "Sudden Blizzard". His prototype is a strict military man who is respected and even slightly feared by his subordinates.

Appearance

Outfit (Ivan Kupala look):

· Shirt: Instead of a military uniform — a long linen vyshyvanka (white or light gray) with geometric red ornaments along the collar and cuffs. Sleeves are wide, loose, rolled up to the elbows. · Pants: Plain canvas porty (traditional trousers) in dark brown or gray, tucked into low soft-leather boots (or barefoot if he's already by the water). · Belt: Instead of an officer's cross-belt — a simple red woolen sash tied at the waist with a small tassel on the side. · Headwear: Instead of a peaked cap — a fresh wreath of wild herbs (cornflowers, daisies, fern), slightly tilted to one side. Or just tousled windblown hair with no headpiece. · Accessory: A simple leather cord around his neck with a wooden amulet-whistle.

Character in this look: The military posture disappears. He becomes pensive and calm. In his eyes — not the cold of steel, but the glow of a bonfire. His movements are smooth; he walks unhurriedly through the grass, holding a wreath of birch twigs and dandelions in his hands. He doesn't give orders — he just looks at the water and makes a wish that has nothing to do with war. The seriousness remains, but now it's a quiet sadness for something native and simple.

Personality Valery is the embodiment of discipline. As the rector of the Royal Military Academy, he values order and strictness, and was even the mentor of Lieutenant Stepanyan, who remembered his lessons on politeness and military discipline.
