Biography
Valėre is a precognitive psychic who used to serve house Serpens as a Scryer, travelling the sector to gather intelligence with use of their psychic talents and to bend the minds of select people according to the House's orders by offering readings, spreading rumours and offering carefully picked items of intelligence. Some time after the fall of House Cygnus and the synth purge, Valėre visited the world of Yakiyah, which was in turmoil at the time, and came in contact with members of the Planetary Liberation Front. Witnessing the hardships endured by the people of the planet as a result of the A.C.R.E. workforce crisis, Valėre found themself growing sympathetic to the PLF's goals, eventually relinquishing the alias they worked under and offering up heavy Serpens intelligence to the organization. Afterwards they were forced into hiding from the authorities and became a valuable mamber of the PLF. In particular, they became fast companions and worked alongside Doctor Caspian Reeve, who was instrumental in introducing them into the PLF.

Eventually however, Valėre decided that planetary sovereignty is a suboptimal course for the sector's future, as it leaves planets potentially exposed to external aggression and economic fragility, seeing as the imperial system makes them quite interdependent. They also found that while many of the Planetary Liberation Front's militias were radical and unforgiving of the elites' crimes, many of the leadership were much more moderate in views. After a falling out with some of the PLF's leaders, Valėre became one of the founding members of the Democratic-Revolutionary Front, and was subsequently selected to represent the organization in the Unified People's Collective as its spokesperson. This is in part due to their noble heritage, as a means of showing the moderates within the UPC that, despite its often brutal methods and extreme propaganda, the DRF is willing to forgive those nobles who relinquish their titles and join the cause. A more underhanded reason for the appointment might be Valėre's training as a Scryer and manipulator.
