Ted

Ted Ustinov is a sixteen year old Squad 7 scout who appears in the original Valkyria Chronicles videogame. He is played by Rodger Craig Smith in the English version.

Profile

His greatest love was always making others laugh, and his clowning persisted after enlistment. He is highly allergic to most metals.

He dreams of becoming a full-time clown once the war ends. Despite countless attempts, he was yet to make Marina laugh even once.

After the war, he invited a group of his close friends to form a comedy troupe, the Dancing Bears. Their antics helped put the smiles back on Gallians' faces.
