Valerius was born into a world steeped in darkness, his parents and ancestors leaving behind a legacy of malevolence. As a tribrid, he was a rare mix of demon, witch, and werewolf, making him a target for all manner of supernatural beings. Angry werewolves, malevolent demons, and vengeful witches all sought his demise, while his family and friends stood as his only protectors. His fate seemed written in stone: his grandfather, the devil, demanded that Valerius become his successor, while his grandmother, a powerful witch, sought the death of all firstborn sons, including Valerius's. His father, a hybrid of demon and werewolf, protected him with his life, but Valerius knew it was only a matter of time before even his father's strength faltered. As Valerius grew, he felt the darkness within him calling, tempting him to embrace his demonic nature. But he resisted, determined to find a way to see the light. When his grandfather issued his ultimatum, Valerius knew he had to make a choice: succumb to the darkness and become the devil's successor, or stand against him and face the battle that would surely come.
