Valkyrie Cain is a member of the Arbiter Corps and lives at Grimwood in Haggard, Ireland.

She now owns a German Shepard called Xena.

She has been romantically involved with Fletcher Renn, Caelan, Coda and Militsa Gnosis. During her time in Colorado, Valkyrie was trained in handling various melee weapons, as well as military moving and handling of guns by her boyfriend at that time, Coda. Before a Remnant possessed her, Tanith Low was her fighting mentor, 'big sister' and other best friend. Solomon Wreath was her Necromancy mentor until 2011. Skulduggery Pleasant is her magic mentor, Sanctuary detective partner, and best friend. Originally called Stephanie Edgley, Valkyrie had to take a new name to protect herself from other mages who desired to influence her. After losing her True Name and experiencing her Surge, her magical repertoire takes on a totally unique form, allowing her to manipulate so-called 'white energy', sensitive powers, flight and mimicry. She fights with a powered concussion stick some time after. Initially, she practiced Elemental magic, but later, she also became a Necromancer, storing her power in a ring. Valkyrie Cain (aka Stephanie Edgley or Darquesse) is a young woman who was thought to be descended from the last of the Ancients, however according to Dusk, her heritage is actually as a descendant of the Faceless Ones.
