Makes sense on the red hair. There was a whole population of Vikings (which the Valerians were) that had a lot of red hair. Don't know enough of ancient history, only what I've read, and don't know whether Prince Oleg of Kievian Rus ancestry came from from the Vikings in western Scandinavia or the Norsemen who had a lot of blonde hair. Probably both populated the land at that time and Rus meaning red could have been a thing.
