| |
| ===Bloodedge Experience - Part 1===
| |
| In his youth, Valkenhayn worked alongside [[Relius Clover]], both were agents for the [[Immortal Breaker (group|Immortal Breakers]], an organization that specialises in the eradication of incredibly powerful beings. He joined the Agency with the pretext of searching for the strongest souls to fight against. The Breakers were hired by the [[Mitsurugi Agency]] to find and kill [[Clavis Alucard]], who had been sighted in [[Shin Kawahama City]], Japan. In one of the city's parks, he found [[Naoto Kurogane]] and attacked him on sight because he smelt like a [[vampire]]. Despite having killed Naoto twice, the boy did not die, and it was only on Relius' insistence that they left to continue their job. Before leaving, Valkenhayn stomped on Naoto's foot, crushing it.<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1, Chapter 2 - Immortal''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| The two Breakers eventually tracked Clavis to Naoto's apartment and begun to fight him. Valkenhayn launched himself at the vampire, but was effortlessly thrown out of the door he entered. With Relius providing backup, Valkenhayn transformed into his wolf form and lunged towards Clavis, digging his teeth deep into his arm. Unfazed, Clavis calmly walked towards a window of the complex and threw the lycanthrope outside before jumping after him to continue the fight. Because of Valkenhayn and Relius, Naoto's apartment was completely destroyed, but Naoto, [[Raquel Alucard]], and [[Haruka Hayami]], who were in the kitchen, were unscathed.<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1, Chapter 3 - Mitsurugi''</ref>

| ===Bloodedge Experience - Part 2===
| |
| Under the orders of [[Kiiro Hikagami]], Valkenhayn and Relius had been relegated to crushing [[Spinner Superior|Spinner Superior's]] bugs that littered Shin Kawahama. They began to talk about the eradication of the [[Apostles]] throughout the city, but were interrupted by [[Saya Terumi]], who attempted to cut down Relius. The girl calmly asked which of them was Valkenhayn, and with the wolf's answer, she attacked him, reasoning that he killed Naoto and began hunting down the bugs she wanted.
| |
|
| |
| The battle with Saya was gruelling. She was far too fast for Valkenhayn in his human form, forcing him to switch to his wolf form. Even then, he could not seem to match her near impossible speed and power; Relius continued to watch. Finally, Saya sheathed her sword as Valkenhayn switched back to a human, and caught her by the throat. Before he could do anything, she activated [[Soul Eater]], forcing the man to his knees. Again, Relius watched, but then Saya herself was unable to fight, the technique she had used to gain her incredible strength and speed had finally caught up to her. Before Valkenhayn could exact his revenge, Naoto arrived, delivering a flying kick straight to the lycanthrope's face. The two men stood close and were about to have a rematch. Valkenhayn shouted at him, telling the boy that he was going to crush his skull. Raquel stopped the fight that was about to ensue, telling everyone present that Spinner Superior had sensed the fight between Valkenhayn and Saya, and was coming.<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2, Chapter 10 - Encounter''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Spinner kidnapped Saya, and Relius detailed Valkenhayn a plan - destroy the [[sorcery]] circle he was using to empower his own sorcery. They continued to destroy the numerous circles to buy Kiiro more time to help kill Spinner, a plan that was successful.<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2, Chapter 11 - Fusion''</ref> Both Valkenhayn and Relius kidnapped the unconscious Saya while everyone was distracted, taking her back to the Agency. There, they were met by a man who called himself [[Hazama]].<ref>''BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2, Outside Chapter''</ref>

| ===Dark War===
| |
| ====Phase 0, Phase Shift 1, Phase Shift 2, Phase Shift 3, Phase Shift 4====
| |
| At some point, Valkenhayn's life was saved by Clavis. The wolf swore his loyalty to the vampire from then on, and served his other daughter, Rachel Alucard as the family's loyal butler. He also became acquainted with [[Tomonori]] and [[Jubei]] as they worked under Clavis when the [[Dark War]] began and destroyed Japan. At some point, he also met [[Yuuki Terumi]].
| |
|
| |
| In the January of 2106, Rachel teleported Tomonori back to the [[Alucard Castle]] and the [[beastkin]] spoke in a derogatory tone towards the elderly vampire. Valkenhayn warned him to remember who he was speaking to and nearly bared his fangs, yet Clavis ordered him to demonstrate patience. He poured his master some tea, withholding his reply to Clavis' observation on how he cannot stop humanity from acting.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 2 - Cat of Crimson Sunset''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Clavis discovered that Tomonori had taken the [[Hihiirokane]] to kill [[Kazuma Kval]] and Terumi. Valkenhayn was sent after him, but the wolf was too late - Tomonori lay dead in a puddle of blood with Kazuma standing victorious over his corpse, having merged with Terumi. Valkenhayn hunkered low and rushed towards the student before grabbing his skull; knocking him unconscious, Valkenhayn carried him back to the Castle. Together with Clavis, they locked him in a specially made prison, using sorcery to further imprison Kazuma.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Chapter 6 - Voice of Emerald Evil''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| When Clavis died, Valkenhayn was left heart-broken, but continued his oath to protect Rachel. In his will, Clavis left a note to Valkenhayn, telling him to allow a woman called [[Nine the Phantom|Nine]] to release Kazuma from his chains.
| |
|
| |
| When the time came, Valkenhayn took Nine and Jubei to the Alucard Castle and allowed them access to the prison that housed Terumi and Kazuma. He watched as Nine undid each sorcery lock and as she used [[Mind Eater (Opprimo Vinculum)|Mind Eater]]; when the group left the prison, Valkenhayn said a quiet prayer to Clavis, asking if what had happened would be alright.<ref>''BlazBlue: Phase Shift 1, Prologue''</ref>

| ===Variable Heart===
| |
| Valkenhayn accompanied Rachel when she teleported [[Mai Natsume]], [[Shiori Kirihito]], [[Kajun Faycott]], [[Bell]], and [[Taro Sasaga'e]] away from [[Meifang Lapislazuli]] and the Wings of Justice. He was particularly angry with Ragna's attitude towards Rachel, and tossed him through one of her teleportation portals to an unknown location.<Ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 11''</ref>

| Like the rest of the cast, Valkenhayn was absorbed into the Embryo, had his memories altered, and believed that the date was 12/31/2199. He found Rachel in her room and entered together with Nago and Gii. Rachel’s memories were unaffected, and although he could not remember why, he told her to rest as she was rapidly losing her power. He also had an uncomfortable feeling about the world he was in. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 002, Chapter 007, Sub Scenario 2''</ref> Later, he was sent to Ikaruga by Nine, and was told to kill Izanami in order to secure his piece of the [[Azure]]. He found Rachel and begged her to return to the castle lest she disappear from the world. She rejected the idea and asked that he instead spy on the other chosen, returning to her at intervals to report who they were and what they were doing. He complied, <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 005, Chapter 038, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> but he returned to his mistress's side when he saw her battling Naoto Kurogane. Just when he was about to attack the young man, he was teleported away. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 052''</ref>

| [[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 73(B).png|thumb|left|Ragna leaves the rest to Valkenhayn]]Sometime later, Valkenhayn had lost Rachel and was searching for her. During his search, he came across Hakumen and realised that the knight had not lost his memories. Hakumen observed that Valkenhayn could not stop Rachel’s headstrong attitude. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 055, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> Valkenhayn eventually found Rachel and met Ragna. When the Grim Reaper called Rachel weak, he asked him to hold his tongue, but did not prevent him from leaving. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 074''</ref>

|
| |
| Valkenhayn came to the idea that killing [[Amane Nishiki]], the current Onlooker of the world, might restore power to back to Rachel, its former Onlooker. He found him atop the [[Altar]] and they fought, but as a being outside Logic, the lycanthrope could not kill him. Amane asked Valkenhayn whether his loyalty was to the promise he had made Clavis years ago to protect Rachel, or to Rachel herself. Valkenhayn answered the latter, and Amane told him Ragna’s plan to save the world and create a new possibility where Rachel could still live. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 089, Sub Scenario 1''</ref>

| Outside the Embryo, Valkenhayn took Rachel away from Ragna after watching them share an embrace, and together, he and his mistress returned to seithr. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 095''</ref>

| In the new world created by Ragna, Valkenhayn was seen preparing tea for Rachel for when she would return to the Alucard Castle. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 100''</ref>
