| First Appearance |
Valceif Godfrey or Val is a Human Courier.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Val has black hair, a slightly crooked nose and tanned skin. He wears traveling attire.[1]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Val has a strong sense of camaraderie between runners: he saves Garia from bandits without any request for repayment, and was willing to use his magic-dispelling charm to help Ryoka.[2]
Background[edit | edit source]
Valceif is the son of Mihaela Godfrey, famous former [Courier] and now [Guildmistress] of First Landing's Runner's Guild.
Chronology[edit | edit source]
Volume 2[edit | edit source]
Valceif first appeared after rescuing Garia from bandits while on a delivery from Niers Astoragon to the person who solved his chess puzzle. While passing through Celum, Val got lost and Ryoka, a fellow runner, guided him out of the city.[3]
During his stay at Erin's Inn, Ryoka broke Val's Magical Mind Protection Charm when she unblocked her memory of Teriarch; but he didn't begrudge her, saying he would get another charm as soon as possible. After a long night of dancing at Erin's inn, Val, Ryoka, and Hawk went on a long morning run, where Val and Hawk gave Ryoka valuable advice for completing her delivery. Val also recommended to Ryoka to not seek a class, because it did not suit her style.[2]
Valceif delivered a letter from Ryoka to Lady Magnolia on his way back to First Landing, also enjoying her hospitality back then. During this visit, Magnolia showed him the Earthers she had stumbled upon, and asked him to draw his own conclusions.[4]
Ryoka later learned that Valceif had been killed further up in the north in a [Bandit] ambush, because he was affected by a simple [Sleep] spell.
Volume 10[edit | edit source]
An alternate Valceif Godfrey was one of the refugees from the [Palace of Fates] who stayed behind in the real world. After the Goblin King's attack, he went to the Runner's Guild in Invrisil to stop them from spreading the news that the Goblin King had came from The Wandering Inn. It is revealed that the so-called "[Bandit] ambush" that killed the original Valceif was actually caused by the Bloodfeast Raiders.[5]
