HISTORY

A sixteenth-century pirate dedicated to justice, Jon Valor's vessel was at the command of the British monarch, righting many wrongs at sea.

Eventually wrongly accused of a terrible crime, Jon Valor swore at his execution that no-one in Opal City's soul would be granted rest until he was proved innocent. This curse was fulfilled and was used to fell purpose by the evil dwarf Culp, who's plans fell apart when legendary detective Hamilton Drew was able to piece together the clues that proved Jon innocent.
