Sure, presumably
Albert tried to heal him last night and it did not work (that is what the numbers tell us:). So the injuries make sense.
Valdus says:
... and that he just appears ...
Though, remember that he does not 'just appear' from an in-fiction perspective. He was with the party the whole time.

We
do need to know what you are trying to do, though, what sort of responses you are waning from the other players, how much you want to detract from the current events.
The current events are about an NPC, so they are very secondary to what the PCs are doing, so don't worry about derailing that if you want to put your character front and center.
