Valan Jaelre

Valan Jaelre was a wizard leader of House Jaelre and the Jaezred Chaulssin.

Physical Description
Valan wore fine robes and a house insignia of a sunburst with two daggers pointing downward from it. He wielded a twisted staff that looked like it was made of filaments of shadow.

Personality
He was overconfident and would rant about how he would defeat his opponents and bring down Menzoberranzan even when fighting a losing battle.

History
In the late 15th century DR, Valan put a simulacrum of himself in charge of a House Jaelre attack on Shadowdale to steal the Pendant of Ashaba. The real Valan infiltrated the Braeryn in his ancestors' home of Menzoberranzan, hoping to cause civil war. He sent a Jaezred Chaulssin assassin named Merinid Dalael to instigate a fight between the Council of Spiders and adventurers hired by the houses. The assassins' involvement was discovered, and the adventurers were dispatched to Stenchstreets to eliminate Valan.

Relationship
Valan was taking orders from someone inside House Nuryndin.
