Fortnite has continued to build upon its lore in recent years, introducing a full set of goodies and baddies for players to pit against one another in the toybox battle royale.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular characters to be added is Valeria.<\/p>\n

With Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2<\/a> now in full swing, the theme for this season revolves around Myths & Mortals.<\/p>\n

From Aphrodite to Poseidon<\/a> to Zeus, all of the Greek gods have now taken over the island \u2013 with Mount Olympus itself gracing the mountain region.<\/p>\n

So, who is Valeria? And what\u2019s her role in all of this, if any?<\/p>\n

As players search for clues about Valeria\u2019s history and whether they can unlock a skin of the character, we thought what better time to create a handy guide explaining what we know so far.<\/p>\n

Read on for all the details about the Fortnite villain and whether you can unlock a Valeria skin.<\/p>\n

Who is Valeria in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Valeria is the principal boss and leader of The Society<\/strong>, a faction made up of wealthy elites seeking power over Fortnite Island.<\/p>\n

Introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1, four other bosses make up The Society \u2013 including Montague, Oscar, Nisha and Peter Griffin<\/a> (yes, that<\/em> Peter Griffin from Family Guy).<\/p>\n

Speculation surrounding the banner and cosmetics of Valeria suggests that the character is linked to Greek mythology in some way, potentially the phoenix.<\/p>\n

Since Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is focusing on Myths & Monsters, it\u2019s possible we might learn more about her backstory as the season progresses.<\/p>

Is there a Valeria skin in Fortnite right now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No<\/strong>, a Valeria skin is not currently available in Fortnite at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Epic Games previously made a Legendary Outfit of Valeria obtainable by purchasing all cosmetics on Page 12 of the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass. Nine Battle Stars would then unlock the original skin.<\/p>\n

There were several variations of Valeria, too, one in a Society Scarlet colour and another in a Stygian Green as part of the Flame & Fortune Set.<\/p>\n

The Valeria skin may briefly return in the future, with the in-game shop changing daily. However, seasonal content is seasonal for a reason, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more likely that a new variant of the Valeria skin will appear as part of a storyline surrounding The Society.<\/p>\n
