Background Link: Lezard Valeth – Valkyrie Profile Wiki



Personality: Lezard Valeth is a complicated man. His goals are uncommon; his means more than questionable and very few people can claim to understand what is going on in his mind. Yet, his true nature is quite simple to explain. He is a twisted man, one of the most selfish and arrogant sorcerer to have ever walked upon Midgard; devoid of any empathy yet frighteningly brilliant. Even if we are to believe that notions such as good and evil are meaningless, Lezard is one of those people that all those who have dealt with will agree to define as evil. Even those who believe there is good in all, even people who believe everyone should be given a second chance. They have all but given up trying to see the good in that man.

Lezard's manners are often impeccable and his manner of speech reflects the high level of education he has received. When with his "friends" (being friend with Lezard imply being constantly in a state of danger where he can kill you if he deems you've become too much of a threat to him), he can appears to be a normal young man, as normal as anyone else. Yet most people who have spent too much time with him agree that he is a madman (albeit he'd like to argue this is not madness but genius). With time he's gotten good at hiding his lunatic side. You'll truly see the madness that lingers in his spirit when he is convinced to have won.

He feels no remorse at killing countless people to progress with his experiments, at modifying the timeline and erasing the future simply to satisfy his personal desires or at threatening a world of destruction simply to achieve his goals. He is a man with whatsoever no moral, he firmly believes that the end justify the means and unlike a lot of villainy people, he's not trying to fool himself by pretending he is working for the greater good. He works for his own selfish interest and he knows it. But that does not mean he cannot feign working for the greater good. He can pretend his actions were in fact, for your good. He can claim being good and feign helping good people to achieve a greater goal. He can accomplish good deeds if it means helping further his own plans.

If it is necessary, Lezard will assume the persona of a good man, following his own set of morals. He can be quite a gentleman, helpful and even reliable. He will speak with great respect to all, his manners impeccable and his true intentions hidden to all. And he will keep the mask up until it is no longer necessary. And then… When his true personality is revealed there is no turning back. He may simply get rid of whoever is no longer needed and will make no efforts to hide his purpose any longer. When he brings the act to an end, it generally is that all outcomes have been decided and nothing can get in his way. As a true chessmaster, Lezard carefully plan everything, see to cover every possible outcome and have backup plans for all that is necessary.

He is indeed a genius and very intelligent, terrifyingly so. He has always been skilled with magic, so much that when he started looking into dark arts and practicing forbidden spells he was banned from his school. But for this unfortunate event, something greater happened. He found the Philosopher's Stone, the legendary stone that allows its owner to get all of the world's knowledge. As Lezard says it himself, the stone doesn't transmit all of the world's knowledge instantly. It's more like a million-page codex, but thanks to what little he could learn from it, Lezard obtained access to dark magic and forgotten spells unknown to all. He became one of the most powerful mortal in Midgard, and this allowed him to set up his plan to become God.

Yet, he is still, at heart, only a human, for all his divine powers and knowledge he can and does commit mistakes. For all of his careful planning, his arrogance proves to be a weakness. Meaningless details he doesn't deem worth of his attentions may often lead to his demise. The excitation of victory may blind his judgment and allow his enemies to strike, when he could have prevented them from acting if only he wasn't so arrogant and full of himself. His emotions may bind him even. All of his thoughts are bent toward the woman, the goddess he loves, Lenneth Valkyrie.

His one true goal being to spend eternity at her side, he will overlook over details, focus his attention on her when his attention may have been better focused on a greater threat first.

Abilities: I will divide his ability in three category: what he is, his necromancer ability, his god abilities.

Lezard is, originally, a human as normal as any other human. Exceptionally skilled with magic. Then he found the Philosopher's Stone and became the most brilliant wizard ever. At some point, Lezard managed to kill his body- And yet he survived as a soul only. People could see the illusion of a body even though he didn't have one. Latter on he created a new body for himself, half human, half elf and revere engineered- A homunculus body. It was the body that would allow him to obtain powers greater than those of a God and the one he currently inhabits. The half-elf part would allow his soul to acquire god-like abilities. The half-human part would allow those powers to grow and keep growing beyond that of other Gods (similarly to Lenneth and Odin).

Only having the body though doesn't make one a God, they have to acquire the divine power and wisdom through Yggdrasil (the Life Tree) or another mean. Lezard chose another mean. He acquired the wisdom through the Philosopher's Stone, and acquired the divine power by merging his soul with that of the Lord of the Gods, Odin. Ultimately, this consumed Odin's soul and he was absorbed by Lezard's, making of Lezard a God more powerful than any other. There are few exception, such as The One Valkyrie (created by the fusion of the three Valkyries), whose power surpasses even Lezard's.

As a necromancer, Lezard can summon demons, undead and vampires. He can transform regular human beings into mindless monsters through the use of potions he makes, cast a large variety of spells, etc. He is also a quite skilled alchemist and knowledgeable in many science. His specialty is to create Homunculus. Man-made lifeform whom he can shape however he wants. Ultimately, those Homunculus can host a soul (his purpose was to transfer Lenneth Valkyrie's soul into one such Homunculus so to suppress her abilities). He can also shift people's soul from one body to another. His weapon is a book.

As a God, all of his necromancer abilities are improved. He is near invincible and can create dimensions thanks to the Power of Creation he obtained from Odin. He can use with ease the greater spells and defy other Gods. In spite of this all though, he is not immortal and a great deal of his power come from Gungnir, the divine lance the Lord of the Gods only can wield. Without it he is much less powerful, but his intellect is not diminished.
