Editing Valefor (section)

===Early-[[Ward]]===
Having survived Gold Morning and presumably released at the time of the event or subsequent amnesty, Elijah found his way back to his family.<ref name="I4c"> -

Inquiry into the circumstances of Lachlan Hund.  Not a trial, but an inquiry, some questions by people with more official standing.  He’d fallen in with some sketchy people, and there were thoughts about there being powers involved.<br/><br/>The inquiry was the story of the hour, it seemed.  Heroes stood by to step in and take him away to get help if officials were suspicious he’d been manipulated, but it was sounding like he would go home with his new family.  That sucked. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/22/shade-interlude-4c/ Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.8]]</ref>

With the assault on the Fallen compound, Valefor stepped into the public eye for the first time in nearly four years.<ref>[[Shadow 5.10]]</ref>

He was surrounded by helpers and bodyguards to help best direct his power against the attacking villains ''and'' heroes.<ref>[[Shadow 5.10]]</ref> He hypnotized one group very effectively but [[Victoria|one hero]] was able to construe his order to help him to take him out of the battle and leave him out of breath and bruised on a roof.<ref>I would help and serve him.  That was the idea he’d planted in my head.<br><br>Before he could catch his breath from the impact, I flew in a spiral tight enough his legs went out to the side, and then gently deposited him on a rooftop.<br><br>I flew away before he could catch his footing, get a lungful of air, and give me another command. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/27 Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.10]]</ref>

Later this same hero would mutilate Valefor by punching off his jaw after he escalated a situation.<ref>I went straight for Valefor.<br/><br/>He was still protected as I brought the Wretch out.  When I punched him, I could feel the Wretch meet that invisible barrier.  I could see, in slow motion through both the expulsion of Secondhand’s detonation and Last Minute’s protective effect, the destruction of Valefor’s lower face as the Wretch passed through the barrier.<br/><br/>I couldn’t bring myself to kill, even now.  I canceled out my power of my own volition, when it was clear that I’d destroyed his jaw. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/03 Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.12]]</ref> This left him in need of serious medical attention.<ref>The bearded man paused.  “She says her son needs medical attention.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/21 Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.3]]</ref>
