History
Jan Valek was born in Prague in 1311. He was a Catholic priest who revolted against the church and led the bohemian peasants in a revolt. However he was captured, tried for heresy and burned at the stake but after his death there were reports that Valek was seen tomb was found empty, and it was the first known case of vampirism. Because pf his actions against the church it was decided that Valek became possessed by demons during the trial. He was taken to the small town of Berziers in the Languedoc province of France and subjected to a forbidden and brutal form of Catholic exorcism. However, something went wrong. And though the reports are confusing, and refer to an inverse exorcism, an exorcism in which the powers of darkness were claimed to the possessed soul. And in a ritual, Valek's body was destroyed, but the soul remained within the body, so that a creature with the dead body is still alive or a vampire.

Although the ritual made him more powerful than ever, it never was completely. And left him only with a weakness that is the inability to walk in darklight. In the more than 600 years of its transformation, Valek sought an ancient church relic the Black Cross of Bérziers that was the same cross used in Valek exorcism. And upon meeting him, vampire. However their plans in the end are frustrated by Jack Crow and the Father Adam Guitheau who managed to prevent ritual from happening and killing Valek.
