Adrian Vale
Not everyone in this world acts from courage, compassion, or noble conviction.
Adrian Vale is admired as a philanthropist and the public face of a government-funded rehabilitation center. Behind that carefully constructed image, he quietly controls the local drug network and profits from both the suffering and the supposed solution.
His original portrait, alpha playing-card front, and landscape collector card are now complete. See the completed card gallery.

From drawing to card
William completed Vale’s ink portrait: the city outside his office, a globe and books behind him, and his motto on the wall. The art is now shown here at its original proportions. See the drawing progress photos. The alpha card front and matching collector art were completed October 8, 2026.
Vale’s character concept and temporary mystery card were introduced while William planned the office portrait.
