	~~The~~ Temporal Drift is the technical name for the time differential between Earth and Altierra.		Temporal Drift is the technical name for the time differential between Earth and Altierra. There are few data points but enough to show that the differential is variable, both in a single portal and between the two.

			==The [[Tierrapuerta]]==

			The original portal between Patagonia and Alta had only one temporal data point. When the Spanish settlers passed through the portal, it was in 1585 Earth-reckoning, six years after the English had entered in 1579. The time difference in Altierra was 177 years however.

			Because there is only one data point, it is impossible to see how time passes between the two worlds, whether it is logarithmic as in the Mundumbra, or a simple line.

			==The [[Mundumbra]]==

			There are a few more data points with the Mundumbra between Dartmoor and Isla Arbojan which shows that the time differential varies over time, In the short time, Altierran time is longer than Earth time, but this reverses about 3 years (where the time is the same with both).

			===Emily visits Altierra===
			The first data point in ''The Snow Beyond the Wall'' is when Emily enters Altierra and returns, looking for help for Meg who has been captured.

			15 minutes of Earth time is equivalent to 55 minutes in Altierra.

			===Three Maddisons enter Altierra===
			The second point is when Luke, Susan and Emily enter Altierra

			\|}
			Emily is back on Earth for 1 hour 45 minutes but finds about two days have passed.

			===Maddisons return to Earth===
			When the Maddisons return to Earth, after 3.5 months in Altierra, they find that (at least) 63 years have passed on Earth.

			===Maddisons return to Altierra===

			Once back on Earth, the Maddisons remain there for about two hours before returning to Altierra. They then find they have been away for three Altierran days. (It took them two days to reach Elísal).

	==Appearance==		==Appearance==

	He has ~~short~~ and ~~well~~-~~trimmed hair~~ and ~~beard, both grey~~.		Marshal Valdez is a powerfully built, older man with a broad, imposing frame. He has closely cropped grey hair, a full white beard and a deeply lined, weathered face that suggests years of military service. His expression is stern and watchful, with a hard, controlled gaze. In the image-based interpretation, he wears decorated armour beneath a dark cloak, presenting himself as a senior military officer rather than an ordinary soldier. His appearance should convey authority, physical strength and a sense of controlled danger.

	==Character==		==Character==

			Marshal Valdez is an experienced, ruthless and intimidating officer of the Guardia. He is tasked with interrogating Meg and discovering the origin of the portal, and he approaches this duty with the confidence of a man accustomed to using fear and violence to obtain obedience. He sees prisoners primarily as sources of information and has little concern for their dignity or emotional wellbeing.

			Valdez is methodical rather than impulsive. His interrogation of Meg is carefully structured: he begins with questions, examines her clothing and possessions, tests her explanations, and then escalates to physical punishment when she refuses to co-operate. He understands that Meg is hiding information, and his persistence makes him dangerous even when he does not immediately resort to violence.

			He is also sexually predatory. His interest in Meg’s unusual appearance quickly becomes entangled with his desire to possess her, and he treats her vulnerability as an opportunity. He views Bestia as property and appears to believe that official authority entitles him to control both their bodies and their futures. His treatment of Vila shows the same possessive attitude: he objects to her damaging what he considers his property, but his concern is ownership rather than compassion.

			Despite his brutality, Valdez is not entirely uncontrolled. He follows orders from Jesenia, recognises the limits placed upon him by her authority, and can behave with calculated restraint when necessary. He is capable of gentleness when it serves his purposes, as when he questions Meg after her beating, but that gentleness never removes the underlying threat. His apparent calm is part of his power.

	==Speech==		==Speech==

			Valdez speaks in a controlled, authoritative manner, using short questions and commands to pressure his prisoners. He expects to be addressed as “sir” and reacts sharply when Meg fails to do so. His language is formal enough to reflect his rank, but it becomes blunt and threatening during interrogation.

			He often repeats questions when he believes an answer is evasive, gradually narrowing the space in which the other person can respond. His threats are delivered without theatrical excitement; he speaks of punishment, pain and possession as though they are ordinary professional matters. This calmness makes him more frightening than an officer who simply loses his temper.

			Valdez also uses calculated personal remarks. He comments on Meg’s hair, clothing and unusual appearance, allowing his interest to intrude into the interrogation. His tone can shift suddenly from official questioning to intimate menace, particularly when he suggests that he will claim Meg for himself.

			When speaking to Jesenia, he becomes deferential and cautious, addressing her as “Domina” and accepting her authority even when he disagrees. With subordinates and prisoners, however, he is commanding and contemptuous. His speech therefore changes according to power: respectful upward, threatening downward, and always designed to establish control.
