For years, the Lochinvar family line was one of the diplomatic path, and the parents of Valetrian Lochinvar were no exception to this rule.  Though his mother was of full-elven blood and his father was a half-elf, they continued on the line, despite the occassional complaint of his mother making union with someone who was not pure.  Valetrian was born of this union, but it was a short-lived family life that he was destined for : on a diplomatic mission to Neriak for the humans of Freeport, his parents were assassinated, leaving the fifteen-year-old boy on his own in the world.  He was taken in by his own people for a short period of time, but their intolerance of the little human blood that flowed through his veins forced him to find a home elsewhere, and so the young elf joined the Paladins of Marr in Freeport and trained in the arts of a paladin.

Years passed, and Valetrian met Ellen, a human woman who he fell deeply in love with, both wishing to be married.  Unfortunately, her family would not have her marry a high elf, and prejudice forced the two to elope.  Despite having dishonored her family's wishes, Valetrian and Ellen lived happily amongst the paladins and clerics of Marr, and Eileen was born into the world.  Sadly though, five years later Ellen died in childbirth along with her newborn son, Valetrian being unable to save her with his healing magic, and the paladin sunk into a deep depression that few thought he would ever return from.

Five years passed, and the paladins of Marr had decided to send Valetrian on an unknown mission across the seas.  Being old enough, Eileen was left in the care of the paladins to study with them as he travelled, but during the voyage an unknown assassin struck and sunk the ship, almost all hands being lost and Valetrian feared dead at the bottom of the ocean.  And so the world believed, until years later upon the day of his daughter's wedding he returned.  His ability to speak was seemingly gone, and while he could not stay long, he was able to convey that he was alright to those that cared for him.  He left once more, though he left the suspicion that his mission never ended, that he was still engaged in whatever he was first sent for all those years before.  Some suspect he was opening trade routes to the unknown continents, others think he may have been opening dialogues with long-lost races, continuing the tradition of diplomacy his heritage was so well known for.  Unanswered as the questions may be, his future and that of Norrath are suspected to be intertwined, and only the future may show what will be...
