Personality[]

Valper had a huge love for Holy Swords and was fascinated by the legend of Excalibur since childhood. Upon finding out that he could not use Excalibur, he fell into despair and held admiration for those that could wield Excalibur. That feeling became so powerful that he started to conduct an experiment to create those who could use them. When his experiment proved unsuccessful, he decided to utilize poisonous gas to dispose of the children that were test subjects in the experiments, which resulted in his banishment. In fact, Valper was so heartless that he mentioned that Michael was more Human than him.

History[]

Valper Galilei was the person in charge of the "Holy Sword Project" and performed human experiments on children, such as Yuuto Kiba and Tosca to find people who were able to use the seven pieces of Excalibur, and disposed of those who were not capable of doing so. Due to this, he was excommunicated from the Church. Seeking revenge from the Church, he allied himself with the Fallen Angels.
