Personality

Funny Valentine is a complex character driven by a deep sense of patriotism that borders on fanaticism. His entire life's purpose is to ensure the United States rises above the rest of the world, no matter the cost. This patriotism stems from a deep personal trauma after the death of his father, whose story of sacrifice for the country shaped Valentine’s worldview. This intense national pride manifests in Valentine’s willingness to sacrifice others — even his own subordinates — in the pursuit of his goal, viewing individual lives as insignificant compared to the grand destiny of the United States. Valentine is willing to personally engage in combat and make drastic decisions, all the while presenting a composed and dignified front. Though seemingly calm and polite, he has moments of extreme ruthlessness, such as the brutal ways he eliminates obstacles, including sending allies to their deaths without hesitation. His power-driven nature makes him view ambition and ruthlessness as virtues, and he holds little sympathy for those with lesser aspirations, often dismissing them as weak or insignificant. While outwardly respectful and formal, Valentine is also hypocritical. Though he claims to work for the greater good of his country, he often conflates the success of America with his own personal gain and desires. His interactions with others reveal this egoism, especially when he declares that the blessings of the Saint’s Corpse and the glory it provides are his alone. Valentine’s morality is flexible—he will abandon his personal code and principles when it benefits him, as seen in his dealings with Johnny Joestar, where he twists truths and manipulates situations to his advantage. In combat or under pressure, Valentine remains observant and tactical, constantly analyzing situations to stay ahead of his enemies. Despite his cold pragmatism, he does harbor a sense of honor. He keeps his word when it benefits his cause, such as sparing Steven Steel after making a promise, though he contradicts this when convenient. His personal relationships are distant and professional at best, and even with his wife Scarlet, the connection seems more performative than genuine. Despite this, he can show flashes of dark humor, such as ordering silence during his naps or uttering "dojyan!" in inappropriate situations. ---
