Baron Van Arieno

Baron Valentine Van Arieno has brown hair, a sculpted body, and a fox-like face. He loves concubines and would often have nightly escapades with them out of the watch of the Rabonian Council. This produced many illegitimate heirs, one of which was Lucia. His reward for silence from the Vanguards was a personal harem of feeders which are perfectly obedient to him and produce no heirs, presumably created from some of his illegitimate female hiers turned into feeders. He secretly feeds his servants to them, telling them to clean his room.

During the fellowship incident when Angel attacks, he is "playing" with his harem. He sends out Lucia to kill Baron Van Sanders and Baron Van Sturm and spends the night in his room. He refuses to acknowledge her as his daughter and treats her terribly, taking pleasure in seeing her humiliated. Plague later enters, trying to kill him but Lucia comes to his rescue, almost killing Plague who gets rescued by Eliah. Van Arieno, angry that she failed his mission, stomps on her while she takes the blows hoping to be accepted. He then retreats to his summer villa in Mucha, surviving the night.
