Vlassis, or Val, to his friends, is a very down-to-earth, kind man. He spends most of his time outside of the ring training, working on making his body better. He values everyone, and treats everyone equally. Vlassis had a tough upbringing, growing up as a beggar on the streets. He was taken in by a gladiator named Chryssa Mellaki, a female gladiator who was famous years ago. She took Val under her wing and raised him to be a good man, to treat everyone with respect and to only show kindness.
