'Scholars on occasion claimed that those fondest of secrets and those unable to keep them are one and the same. A secret carries power over many, but its value diminishes as it is exploited and uncovered by the many. As wine it gains value and depth with age, lest greed sees you hoard it for too long and suffer it turning to vinegar.

On the outside, Valerian presents as a charming detective, prompt to assist in solving that which cannot be solved by standard means and investigate what eludes the commoner's eyes. But through that charming veneer lies a unquenchable addiction.

Gifted with abilities that allow him to peer into the deepest parts of people's minds, cracking their innermost defences like a burglar would a challenging safe. Thus he serves clients and probes suspects, all the while harvesting their deepest secrets, offering the relevants to the local authorities and delectably hoarding the rest. A politician laundering money, a noble cheating on his wife. Valerian collects, valerian remembers.'
