As a child he and his twin sister were kidnapped by a cult to be used in a ritual. The goal was to create a vessel for a long forgotten god of shadow on the material plane. This would be done by sending one of the twins to the Shadowfell so that the entity could use the mystical connection between twins to channel its power across the planes. Both he and his sister were paralyzed with some kind of magic and each laid into ritual circles each filled with arcane runes and complicated geometry.
As the incantations began the circles began to glow with energy. A line appeared underneath his sister across the diameter of the circle and opened into a giant unblinking eyeball. Small black tendrils of shadow emerged and pulled her into the eye like some kind of portal. One she had fully disappeared an eye opened under Valerian. A wafty black substance (like a shadow that had 3 dimensions) started engulfing him. It started with the fingers on his right hand and crept towards the rest of his body. Luckily that is when a group of adventurers bust in the door and stopped the ritual.
Unfortunately they were unable to reclaim his sister from Shadowfell. They did however help seal the power that had already infested his arm and prevent it from progressing further. Now gown up, Valerian has dedicated himself to figuring out what exactly happened to his sister and will chase down even the scantest rumor of something related to the Shadowfell or the occult in general. He is particularly interested in finding the leader of the cult who escaped that fateful night. He never got a good look at the mans face under the thick robes but he was always a smoking a peculiar smelling pipe.
