'Patriotism' is the most beautiful 'virtue' in this world. Even animals risk their lives for the sake of their children, but risking one's life for pride in their country and thinking of it as an extension of protecting one's family is only a 'nobility of humanity'... a kind of heart completely different from a religious fanatic.

Captain Valentine (キャプテンヴァレンタイン, Kyaputen Varentain) is a minor character featured in the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run.

When Funny Valentine was a child, Captain Valentine became his stepfather. During the time, he tells Funny about his biological father, and teaches Funny patriotism and how it is the most beautiful virtue in the world.

Appearance

Captain Valentine has a large scar on his face, presumably from war. He has short dark hair and a stubble. He is seen in a dark uniform.

He is a captain of the army's cavalry.

Personality

It can be inferred that like Funny, Captain Valentine is also patriotic, as he considers patriotism to be the most beautiful virtue in the world. He is friends with Funny's biological father, and is proud to have been, for he appreciates his devotion for his family.

History

Background

He befriended Funny's biological father at some point. He found the handkerchief his friend held when his friend was buried.

He visits Funny Valentine and tells him the story of his father. Captain Valentine would reveal how Funny's father sacrificed himself for the sake of his family and his country, and taught Funny that patriotism was the most beautiful virtue in the world. Captain Valentine then gave Funny the handkerchief his father used to remind himself of his son, and told Funny that he was proud of being his father's friend.

As the name suggests, Captain Valentine remarried later with Funny's mother, giving Funny the family name of Valentine.
