Personal history

Education
Valour didn't receive much of a formal education until he joined up with the cult. There he was taught about religion with a heavy focus on the Hells. Other deities were covered, but from an incredibly biased perspective. He was also finally formally trained in the arcane; making use of his natural connection to the weave in order to further bolster the cult.
He is naturally sharp and would have excelled under different circumstances, though he prides himself on his street smarts and arcane abilities.

Employment
As a tiefling, Valour has always struggled to find employment in the city of Greyhawk where he resides. When they first starting dating, his boyfriend Baxel Johnson used his natural charm in order to get himself employment under the condition that Valour be hired also. Most places agreed begrudgingly but this was a very happy time for Valour as he was not used to having his own income.
Mental Trauma
During an excursion investigating disappearances within a mine with Baxel, Lilo, Jesse and Petal, Valour and Bax split off to cover more ground and ended up coming face to face with a Beholder who was hunting a young girl. The two stepped in, not wasting any time for fear the child would get hurt, however the Beholder's eye quickly turned to Baxel, who protected the young girl with his body from a disintegrate beam. Without thinking, Valour jumped in the path of the beam, saving Baxel and the girl, but getting himself killed in the process. No body was left and the only reason Baxel knew what had happened was his absence and the dust floating through the air in his place.
Baxel was able to make it back to the rest of the team with the girl, however was shattered by Valour's death. Though he tried to move on, he never got over the love of his life who he was meant to marry.
Upon reuniting with Bexana in the Feywild, and with Valour's sister Honour travelling with them, Baxel mentioned Valour to Bexana, who after seeing the talking heads of decapitated frogs wondered if resurrection might be possible. Unbeknownst to her, Bastian was having a similar experience, having heard about his girlfriend's lost brother he spoke with his Goddess Aurelia who confirmed that it would be possible to bring him back, even with the absence of a body.
After escaping Prismeer, the two spoke and planned; Bastian was able to confirm a date for the resurrection under the condition that it was something that both Honour and Baxel would want. Bexana spoke with Baxel while Bastian spoke with Honour and all was agree that he would be brought back the following month.
The ritual was successful and Aurelia was able to collect Valour's soul, which she found in Avernus, the first layer of hell. Bastian then reached through, speaking with him briefly and making sure he wanted to come back. Taking Bastian's hand, Valour was pulled through back into life.

Relationships
History
Valour met Baxel at the Witchlight Carnival after Baxel backed into him, causing Valour to drop the candy apple he was eating. When Baxel offered to buy him a new one, it quickly became apparent that his Almerisian money was worth nothing here, so Valour paid for them both that evening.
After Baxel was crowned Witchlight Monarch, Valour pulled him behind the stands of the grand tent and kissed him. After that, not expecting Baxel to say yes, he asked him to come home to Eunalun with him. To his absolute shock, Baxel agreed, as he had been wanting to leave Almeris for a long time and something about Valour felt right to him.
Upon arriving at Valour's apartment, the two didn't even make it passed the kitchen.
