Valafar, a tiefling born under the influence of Glasya, stands as a testament to the unpredictable nature of fate. At thirty-two years of age, his life has been a tumultuous journey from the stifling confines of his family's traditional values to the enigmatic embrace of his patron, Nyarlathotep. With a height that barely grazes six feet, Valafar's presence is both unassuming and unsettling, his skin a deep shade of crimson that speaks to his infernal heritage. His eyes, a piercing yellow, seem to hold the secrets of the cosmos, a gift—or perhaps a curse—from his patron. His once-fine merchant's attire, now tattered and worn, serves as a constant reminder of his failed ventures and the life he left behind in pursuit of something greater, something unbound by the chains of conformity that shackled his family.

Valafar's life was marked early by the pressures of expectation, being one of five siblings in a family deeply rooted in the merchant class. His bond with his sister, a rare source of comfort in his youth, was one of the few things that tethered him to his past. Yet, the call of Nyarlathotep, the Great Old One, promised liberation from the mundane and the monotonous. Now, Valafar serves as an agent of chaos, his actions guided by visions and directives from his patron, leading him inexorably toward Barovia. The land of the Curse of Strahd beckons, not just as a new stage for his patron's machinations but as a potential reunion with his sister, though the significance of such a meeting pales in comparison to his devotion to Nyarlathotep.

As a charlatan, Valafar navigates the world with a silver tongue and a keen mind, his intelligence and cunning honed by years of dealing with the unpredictable whims of his patron. His unique trait, a habit of speaking in riddles and half-truths, adds an air of mystery to his already enigmatic persona. Valafar's journey is fraught with conflict, not just from the external forces that seek to thwart his patron's plans, but from the internal struggle of a man who has traded the comfort of family and tradition for the uncertain promise of freedom and power.

In Valafar's eyes, the world is a stage for the unfolding drama of cosmic forces, and he plays his part with a mix of zeal and resignation. His story is one of a man seeking to break free from the shackles of his past, driven by the allure of a future unbound by the norms of society. Yet, as he treads the path laid out by Nyarlathotep, he remains acutely aware that his journey may lead him to places from which there is no return.
