Colonel Valestein's story.
Background
Valestein was a colonel in the North Ambrian army. After the North Ambrian disaster, the huge casualties, damage to livelihoods and widespread poverty required radical action on the part of its inhabitants. Seeking wealth and funds from other neighbouring countries, Colonel Valestein and the other army higher up formed the Jaeger Crops named the Northern Jaegers in order to fight in other nation's wars and disputes in exchange for much needed Mira which would help feed his nation's populace. These jaegers were considered heroes to the starving populace.
Sara, who had lost her own parents to the disaster, was taken in by the Colonel. She idolised him and by age 10, was already enlisting in the Juvenile Jaeger Squad (少年猟兵隊), hoping to follow the same path as her father figure. She would join the main corp after three years of training. Sara took on the Colonel's surname as her own, becoming Sara Valestein.
On August 22, S.1198, a Northern unit led by Sara were one day hired to fight in a proxy war in a remote region in Erebonia between a Noble family and a large enterprise. Their opponents on the battlefield were to be their rival, Nidhoggr. Although achieving near victory, there was a risk of endangering civilians and in an effort to protect one neighbourhood, Nidhoggr seized the opportunity to attack.
Driven into a corner and running out of options, Colonel Valestein, jumped into the fray and saved his daughter's unit from certain death at the cost of receiving mortal wounds to his own self. In his last moments, he approached Sara and said with his last breath,
"You know, right? This is what being a jaeger is. Please think again whether this really is the path you want to follow."
Valestein soon passed away in the screaming Sara's arms, but his last words heavily impacted Sara to reconsider her current lifestyle to which she did.
Despite the corps' victory in the conflict and the considerable investment, the Northern Jaegers suffered a heavy loss as Valestein was the unifying force to keep the Corps as one faction. To keep the corps solidified, the other heroes Glark Grommash and Vlad Winslet decided to pin Valestein's death on Winslet, while leaving Rogan Mugart and his war hawks anguished, further souring Sara's view of the jaeger lifestyle.[1]
Sara attributes her fondness for older men to her love for Colonel Valestein.
영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III
Sara brings up the Colonel when explaining her backstory. He is also referenced by a group of jaegers formed from the remnants of Northern Jaegers looking for a place to die following the annexation of their country by Erebonia. Sara uses the experience of losing her adoptive father to help bring the others around.
Rutger Claussell, the commander of another jaeger corps, Zephyr, remarks that Colonel Valestein was a fine man.
