Claes Vallis

Claes Vallis, born 1971, was the second protagonist in the book "the Auxiliatrix," and a former high ranking member of the Bazylian Lykos Corps.

Background
Being part of one of the oldest pure-blooded Greek families, Claes was born into the Bazyli ranks. His father was a Bazyli called Deinomenis. However, when he was thirty-five, he failed his education to become a Bazyli and instead was given the rank of a elite-Auxiliatrix on his father's order. He was matched with Halina, a younger member of the Elite Auxiliatrix who too came from a pure-blooded Greek family. In 2013, he led and took part in the assassination of Arastoo the Older. In 2017, he was fighting with the revolutionists and their leaders, hoping to end the unrest. After the revolution he was convicted as a war criminal and exiled to Southern Italy where he became a wine farmer.

Halina Vallis
Their relationship is complicated due to Claes' constant need for staying unemotional, although he showed affection and care for her. When she had gave birth to their fourth child, a stillborn son, Claes blamed it on himself for it. Throughout the story, Halina seem to be genuinely supportive of Claes' actions, forgiving him for hurting her when she was threatening to damage their family's reputation. She moved with him to Southern Italy, keeping a close contact to her oldest son. She gives birth to a fifth child in exile.

Ajax Vallis
Claes and Ajax's relationship seem to be devoid for feelings and care. Ajax seem to constantly be silently opposing his father. His opposition are later shown in the end where he shoots and wound Claes.

Alyosha Torosian

Besin Caranci
Claes relations with Besin is more of a work related one rather than friendly. As he indicate that he is worried about Besin's sadistic ways.

Personality
Claes is a temperamental and strict man, whom only seeks to follow the rules and laws which are given to him. Towards his own family, he is nice and caring except when he has a moment of anger that once caused him to hit his pregnant wife that he later regretted.
