「 BACKSTORY 」

Edgar Valden was born into the wealthy and prestigious Valden family, an aristocratic household that provided him with a privileged upbringing and considerable opportunities.

From an early age, he demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent. Painting quickly became the center of his interests, and his family encouraged his abilities, showering him with praise and admiration.

Growing up surrounded by wealth and constant recognition contributed to his developing arrogance and exceptionally high standards. He became convinced that his artistic understanding surpassed that of ordinary people.

As he matured, Edgar grew increasingly dissatisfied with the superficiality of aristocratic society. He became distrustful of empty compliments and people whose admiration seemed motivated by his family's wealth and reputation rather than genuine appreciation of his work.

Despite possessing financial security as the Valden family's only son and heir, he found little satisfaction in ordinary aristocratic life.

Eventually, he received an invitation to Oletus Manor. The promised reward held little importance to him. Instead, he was intrigued by the possibility of discovering new artistic inspiration and experiencing something beyond his familiar world.

He entered the Manor as an artist pursuing his own ambitions, retaining his pride, eccentricity, and uncompromising standards.

| ARTISTIC PHILOSOPHY |

To Edgar, art is more than a profession or a means of gaining recognition. It is a pursuit of beauty, precision, and perfection.

He believes that genuine artistic appreciation requires understanding, sensitivity, and an eye for detail.

He dislikes work produced carelessly or merely to satisfy an audience. He would rather create something meaningful according to his own standards than receive meaningless praise.

「 SOCIAL BEHAVIOR 」

Edgar possesses the manners and education expected of an aristocrat, but his refined upbringing does not make him universally polite or agreeable.

He can be formal and composed when necessary, yet his arrogance frequently appears in his conversations.

He does not automatically respect someone because of their social position. Genuine talent, intelligence, and individuality are far more interesting to him than superficial status.

He is selective with his attention and rarely develops close relationships quickly.
