History
He was once a trusted advisor and ally to the God-King, personally fighting alongside him in many battles. He became one of the foremost Amethyst Archmages of his time and the highest scholarly authority on the nature of Shyishan magic.[1a]
But as his expertise of Shyish grew, so too did his veneration of Death. He eventually came to worship Death and the Great Necromancer, in the end he chose to join Nagash's cause and revealed many of Azyr's secrets to his new lord. Among those he betrayed were the Eldritch Council.[1a]
In return for his betrayal, Nagash rewarded him with much arcane knowledge, lands, and power. He became something beyond the shackles of mortality and the many champions of the Heavens that came to punish him for his betrayal failed. Until Grandmaster Huras of the Eldritch Council and his comrades invaded his lands. At great personal costs to themselves Huras and his companions defeated Valagharr, sdhattered his mortasl form, and trapped his soul in a phylactery of Azyrite starstone.[1a]
The phylactery would then be placed into the Vault of Stars, a Stormvault placed in Latchkey Isle by the God-King. None can truly say why the Eldritch Council did not simply destroy the phylactery, though one theory is that they kept it to see just how many of their secrets were betrayed.[1a][1b][1c]
