Valya, the youngest member of First Squad, emerged from an orphanage where his telekinetic abilities provoked relentless mockery. Commander Below intervened, transferring him to an occult-military academy and furnishing him with a tank helmet that became inseparable from his identity. He endures chronic insomnia, openly declaring he never sleeps.

Tasked with confronting supernatural threats during World War II, Valya battles Nazi efforts to revive a medieval crusader army. He wields a submachine gun and telekinesis with equal precision, blending tactical combat with paranormal prowess. His orphaned past and ostracism forged a reserved nature, yet unwavering loyalty binds him to the squad’s missions.

Expanded narratives depict Valya as a Soviet veteran in the USRAC War, confronting undead legions and engineered zombie strains. Here, his survival instincts and SMG mastery amplify his strategic importance. A later arc sees First Squad falsely accused of betraying their legacy, compelling them to join the Beleninsk Pact. Valya’s contributions prove pivotal in restoring their honor and dismantling the accusations against them.
