History
- Val Con's mother Aelliana died when he was three, killed while saving his father, Daav, from death by a Terran assassin.
- Daav left Liad to balance Aelliana's death and Val Con was raised by his uncle Er Thom yos'Galan and aunt Anne Davis with his cousins Shan, Nova, and Anthora.
- He joined The Scouts and achieves the rank of Scout Commander, with a First-In certification allowing first contact.
- Recruited by the Department of the Interior as part of their long-term plan to minimize the threat of Clan Korval, he became one of their most valued agents of change (read: spy and assassin).
- He has always had 'hunches' and the Department of the Interior added an 'odds calculator'

- Miri and he become lifemates on Vandar, a non-space-faring planet. Because of the lifemating, Val Con and Miri together are considered the delm of Clan Korval.
- Val Con and Miri have a daughter Talizea ("Lizzie") , who Theo foresaw would be a pilot.
