A former [[Borcan]] virtuoso [[singer]] in the choir of [[the Great Cathedral]] of [[Levkarest]], '''Valeri Antonin'''<ref>[[Valeri Antonin (Article)]], [[Book of Sacrifices]] p. 66-72</ref> now exists as an [[odem]] with vengeance against the [[Church of Ezra]] on his mind. He uses the adolescent [[Rhiannon Elysia]] as an unwitting pawn in his scheme to establish a [[Fifth Sect]] in [[Kartakass]].

==History==
Born in the July of [[705 BC]] to minor [[nobility of Borca|Borcan nobles]] [[Vera Antonin|Vera]] and [[Dimitrius Antonin]], Valeri was called upon as a youngster to sing for visiting guests. An [[anchorite]] [[Sergei Kristovich]] was one such person, who made frequent visits to the Antonin home and assumed something of an uncle role to the young boy. Kristovich convinced Valeri's parents to allow him to become a choirboy for the Church and later, aided with some hefty bribes, to allow Valeri become Borca's first [[w:Castrato|castrato]] in order to preserve his soprano singing past adolescence. Embarrassed by the matter, Vera and Dimitrius left Borca for [[Mordent]], leaving their son entirely in the Church's care.

Valeri's instruction saw him as an [[anchorite]] by age 16 and singing his first mass in [[724 BC]]. In the years to come, Valeri achieved great fame in [[the Core]] for his singing and brought in significant numbers in worshipers and donations to [[Ezra]]'s church. At the same time, his nature as a castrato made him a target for mockery, derision, and even contempt as unholy. Alienated from most people, he would seek comfort in the presence of Kristovich. In [[729 BC]], Valeri's dead body was discovered. Although Valeri was made into a [[saint]], formal investigation into the cause never went far, due to lingering fallout of the death of [[Yakov Dilisnya]]. Reardless of suspicions of other parties, the death was in truth a result of an encounter Sergei Kristovich. Although Kristovich may have not meant to kill the boy, he nonetheless abandoned Valeri to perish of blood loss.

Sergei Kristovich soon after left [[the Home Faith]] to retire to quiet study at the [[Ste. Mere des Larmes]] in [[Port-a-Lucine]]. However, Kristovich did not leave alone, for Valeri's unquiet spirit rose as an [[odem]] and became a stowaway in Kristovich's body without his knowledge. For the next six years, Valeri used Kristovich's access to the church's libraries to learn more about the faith's myths and religious lore, in addition to general self enrichment by day. At night, Valeri would leave the church grounds to feed on misery and strife elsewhere.

In [[735 BC]], Valeri Antonin ensured that Sergei Kristovich sent a letter to the Home Faith proclaiming his violation of Valeri Antonin. Valeri Antonin left Sergei's naked corpse lying on the ground as he inhabited the body of [[Richemuloise]] [[dandy]] [[Arsene Montcalme]]. Valeri's goal was to use Montcalme to sire a child possessing a strong singing voice and resemblance to Ezra as part of an elaborate scheme enact revenge upon Ezra's church. Valeri found a suitable mother candidate in [[Kartakass]] with [[Melody Elysa]]. Using Arsene Montalme's body, he seduced her. Both and Melody Elysia would meet ultimately meet gruesome ends. However, Valeri Antonin would delay taking Melody's life for over a decade in order to raise the sired daughter [[Rhiannon Elysia]] and her twin brother [[Andreas Elysia|Andreas]] to become the perfect puppets.

When the twins were 11, Valeri convinced them that Ezra herself had manifested into the world through Rhiannon. By speaking to them as Ezra's voice though possession of Rhiannon, Valeri instructed and groomed them to be the tools he needed to establish a distorted and apocalyptic version of Ezra's teachings, with the ultimate intent of creating a [[Fifth Sect]] and writing their own holy text, [[the Book of Rhiannon]].

Once listeners have been secured,Valeri takes over Rhiannon's body as Ezra and pretends to speak in tongues- in reality merely going back and forth between his many known [[language]]s- to sell his religious messages. Though Valeri has yet to gather a strong following amoung the [[Kartakan]] people, he has [[manipulated]] wandering [[Invidian]] con-man [[Niccolo Torquatto]] to become a true believer willing to enact any evil in the service of the twins and their message.
