Valentine for Valentine’s Day. Yes please! Check out the latest image from The Mortal Instruments.

Valentine is the dark shadowy character that haunts the Shadowhunters. He was married to Jocelyn Fray, Clary’s mom before she ran off to protect herself and child. Clary doesn’t know any of this until something goes terribly wrong in the first half of City of Bones. Valentine is said to have white blond hair and black eyes. Clearly Jonathan Rhys Meyer looks a little different than the original description but honestly does it matter?

What do you think of Valentine? Is he everything you hoped for in a villain?

Be sure to check out the other images released this week of Magnus,  Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec.
