Kriss de Valnor from the character of the comics “Thorgal” by Van Hamme & Rosinski.
Thorgal is a Belgian fantasy comic book series by the Belgian writer Jean Van Hamme and the Polish graphic artist Grzegorz Rosiński. It combines several themes and legends, ranging from Norse mythology and Atlantean fantasy to science fiction, and such genres as dark drama, horror and adventure stories. The comic first appeared in serial form in Tintin magazine in 1977, and has been published in hardcover volumes by Le Lombard from 1980 on. Translations exist in English and many other languages. In 2002, it was adapted as a adventure video game, Thorgal: Curse of Atlantis, by Cryo Interactive Entertainment. Thorgal is critically acclaimed and one of the most popular French language comics, with more than 11 million Thorgal books in print. There are presently three ongoing successful spin-off series, in addition to the continuation of the main Thorgal adventures.
Kriss of Valnor: young, beautiful, unscrupulous and deadly warrior, also a skilled archer. She first appears in the 9th album, “The Archers” and re-appears intermittently in the following albums. She is in some ways Thorgal’s greatest foe, trying to hurt him and his family out of pure hate, but sometimes showing hints of admiration and even secret love for Thorgal. When Thorgal loses his memory, she tricks him into believing they are married, and convinces Thorgal he is the ruthless pirate lord Shaigan. She becomes pregnant with his son shortly before Thorgal regains his memory and leaves to find his family. Later, she ends up as a slave in Byzantium and sacrifices her life to help Thorgal’s family escape from the same slave pits. However, even after her demise she continues to haunt Thorgal’s family. Her father Kahaniel of Valnor sired her to be able to reincarnate in his first-born male descendant, Aniel.
