Valenti Anastase

Valenti is one of the main protagonists in Echo of Thunder.

Appearance and Personality
Being the alter-ego of Satoshi Kura, Valenti retains a few features from his original identity, such as eye color. His hair color is now a dark maroon, and is slightly longer. At the start of Echo of Thunder, he wears a black tailcoat jacket that bears ruinic symbosl on its back and sleeves, which helps Valenti to use Glyphs, symbols that can be used to summon various weapons or use spells. A leather plate is also attached to the jacket's front, located slightly above his upper chest. Later on, he exchanges the tailcoat for a different jacket, which is maroon and sports several belts on the sleeves and the bottom of the short tail. Valenti wears two gloves, both a dark maroon. He wears black, baggy jeans, and black shoes, that have a small plate of metal.

Valenti's personality is somewhat similar to Satoshi's, though more serious and unsocial. He keeps more to himself than he used to, and is also more irritable. His voice and expressions now lack the amount of emotion they had before, and he is constantly afflicted with headaches. At times, he will appear to go into a trance-like state, in which his irises will decrease in size until they are just barely visible. He will simply stare at various things, and react relatively slowly to nearly anything. He barely talks at all when in this state, and his voice would sound as if he had no emotions.

Before Echo of Thunder
A few months after Path of Lightning, Satoshi had returned to his original dimension. He learned that the Chaos Knights had started reforming yet again, and had attacked his hometown, Kazin, in an attempt to find and kill him. Fearing for the safety of his friends and younger brother, he took on a new identity.
