	Ironically, Vali's secret role model Vlad Tepes is a member of the Templar Order, which could mean that his defection was not solely driven by a conflict between loyalty to the Assassins and Wallachian nationalism—admiration for a Templar ruler is thrown into the mix.

			Vali is a Romanian diminutive of names that ultimately derive from the Latin ''valere'' ('to be strong') or ''valens'' ('strong, potent, vigorous').
