Vali was an ancient monkey king with divine strength. His strength was a double edged sword - while he was never afraid to demonstrate courage and passion in the face of danger to protect his kingdom, his quick fierce behaviour also led to rash decisions. This resulted in a tragic misunderstanding that exiled his twin brother, severely affected his kingdom and eventual led to his own death.
