Blake follows the Heretics, until he gets captured and taken to Val. The Heretics capture Lynn, whose womb is rumored to house the Anti-Christ, and set up a ritual down in their mines to stage her birth. Val and the Heretics are first encountered after Blake Langermann finds Lynn and escapes from the Testament. However, Knoth never found out where Val's main base was located abandoned mines a few miles away from Temple Gate. Over the years, the Testament and the Heretics clashed openly multiple times. Val managed to round up several others who shared their beliefs and openly betrayed Knoth, founding the group that came to be known as the Heretics. However, in contrast to Knoth Val eventually decided to forsake God and to actively worship the coming of the antichrist. Val was the highest-ranking Deacon of the Testament of the New Ezekiel and a close confidant to Sullivan Knoth. When Lynn's husband Blake invaded the mines to free Lynn, Val and their men tried to intervene but were presumably killed when Knoth's fanatics raided the mines. When a pregnant Lynn Langermann was found by the Testament and was believed to be carrying the anti-christ inside her, Val freed her from the Testament and brought her to the mines in order to make sure that she indeed birthed her baby. This led to a schism in the Testament and Val, leader of the defectors now known as the Heretics, fled into the mines near Temple Gate with the rest of the Heretics. Val is a former deacon of the Testament of the New Ezekiel, Val eventually betrayed Knoth and decided to spite Knoth by bringing forth the apocalypse and assisting in the birth of the anti-christ.

Val is one of the two main antagonists (along with Sullivan Knoth) of the 2017 survival horror video game Outlast 2.
