Valon

Appearance: Valon's usual outfit consists of typical biker clothing including goggles, gloves and padding on his shoulders and elbows. His thick head of chocolate brown hair is styled in thick flares out in all directions and he possesses crystal blue eyes and a tanned complexion. Valon wears his Orichalcos Stone in a ring on his middle finger on his right hand. He carries a Chaos Duel Disk on his left wrist.

He speaks with a stylized cockney accent in the English dub, which is commonly mistaken for an Australian one.

Personality: Valon is shown to be cunning, wild and a bit reckless at first. He is also very intelligent. When he gets to know somebody, they'll get to see his softer side. Can be overprotective in the right circumstances..

Valon is shown as a child who loves getting into fights. He appears to be an orphan, but is looked after by a kind nun who dissaproves of his love of fighting. One day she was in the church with Valon cleaning the wounds he had gotten from a previous fight when a group of thugs entered, telling the nun that their boss has bought the church and that they must leave. Valon is ready to fight and almost throws a punch to defend the nun, but the nun, smiling, grabs his wrist and shakes her head, telling him not to. That night a fire is started at the church. Valon sees this to his horror and spots the thugs from earlier who are laughing about it. (The nun is also suspected to have been in the church at the time of the fire.)

Valon thinks that they are responsible and later he is seen in an alley holding a length of pipe, the bodies of the thugs on the ground around him. It is uncertain whether he killed them or not as they have been briefly seen in later scenes. (This entire sequence is from the Japanese version of the anime and is completely omitted in the dub.)

Valonlockup Valon in prison (or a juvenile detention center). Valon is taken to prison (or a juvenile detention center) where he gets into more fights with the other prisoners. Eventually he is taken to the warden (or headmaster), who tells Valon that he will let him leave if he defeats all the other prisoners on an island using "The Seal of Orichalcos". (The warden was working for Dartz.) Valon defeats all of his opponents. He is then encountered by Dartz and offered to work for him, and Valon accepts.

Valon doesn't know that Dartz was the one who had the church burnt down. He actually tells Dartz that 'be careful, since one day I may end up beating cha', to which Dartz merely smiled. In the dub, Dartz had instead framed Valon for his first crime.
