Biography
Valerian Mengsk was the male human son of Arcturus Mengsk who lived in the Koprulu Sector with their homeworld being the planet Korhal. The actions of his father and his resistance group the Sons of Korhal helped in toppling the ruling Terran Confederacy government that was replaced by the Terran Dominion. Thus, his father ruled the human colonies as Emperor with Valerian growing up as prince of the nation.
For seven years, Juliana taught her son about what a great man his father was, and he became a budding archaeologist, frequently digging up 'fossils' in the family garden. Juliana finally allowed her father to contact Mengsk just as the Guild Wars were ending and he making a great prospecting find. Arcturus Mengsk was surprised and mainly displeased. He made an effort to connect to his son, but they had little in common. Arcturus disagreed with the way Juliana raised her son, and quickly threw out his books and replaced them with ones he preferred. Arcturus considered Valerian to be weak, and tried to instruct him in how to 'be a man', such as teaching him to shoot. The efforts were a failure, and Valerian felt that his father only noticed the things he couldn't do. The only activity the two could enjoy together was fencing with wooden swords. Arcturus Mengsk spent a week on Umoja, sending a message to his parents in the newly declared independent Korhal. The returning news was dire — the Confederacy had killed his parents and young sister, and Mengsk realized that his son would be next. He immediately ordered Valerian and his mother sent into hiding. Over the next eleven years Valerian had to move from world to world, generally in Umojan territory; the Confederates sent assassins against him at least once. While in exile, his mother imparted her values to him; that freedom and liberty were basic human rights. As he grew up, Arcturus Mengsk tried to mold Valerian's upbringing to resemble his, starting by hiring his old fencing instructor, Master Miyamoto, to teach Valerian all methods of fighting — martial arts, Japanese sword fighting, combat gear and the use of a gauss rifle — as well as academics. Miyamoto declared Valerian to be his finest sword fighting pupil. Valerian would learn little of his father, as most of the information came from propaganda about the Sons of Korhal. He did acquire a servant, Charles Whittier, although he distrusted this "minder." He was kept in a wealthy lifestyle, due to his father's rich prospecting find.
