“ A brief note on the Valish, not much is known about them besides what we hear in passing, stories say they are an ancient race created by dragons to wage war, but as dragons faded from this world they wandered without purpose. Most of them today live in tribal nomadic communities and the few we do see, are usually bandits or mercenaries.” - C.833 Chronicler Homond History: Varys, like most Valish, was born into a life of wandering, his Uncle quickly took him under his tutelage at an early age teaching him the ways of walking the world. Varys, although being a receptive student, found the Valish nomadic ways, tiresome and fruitless, and yearned for more. Unfortunately his desire for a higher purpose would come at the hands of an evil he was unprepared for. Varys was scavenging with his older brother on a cold autumn morning when he got his wish. They returned from their duties in the early afternoon, finding their camp under siege from a band of beastly warriors. Varys's older brother immediately sprang into action drawing his sword and dashing into the combat. Varys lost everything that day, barely an adult and forced to fend for himself. Some years later, Varys found himself traveling with Holy Warriors on a mission to rid the world of the very same beast-men that Varys had encountered in his youth. He was the student of a expert swordsman now, and his skills were rapidly improving, as well as the mystic arts taught to him by the other Warriors. Varys however had almost no use for their religious fanaticism. He sought only vengeance. They tracked their quarry to ruined fort, the battle was brutal and savage. Every beast-man died, so did the Holy Warriors, once again Varys found himself alone and without purpose. Yet, his vengeance was sated, the proof being a war-blade his ancestors wielded in ages past, Odstarva. In the years since then he has developed his skills, both in the way of the sword and in his mystic abilities. Varys has developed a reputation as a reliable tracker, pathfinder and hunter. He's fought along side mercenaries, slain bandits, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. However, he has always been regarded with suspicion, his race is barely known anymore, and those who know of the Valish find Varys to be far more impetuous and unforgiving than others of his ilk. Description: Varys is tall and well muscled, his long black hair usually hangs loose around his head, he keeps a short beard and has a scar beside his left eye from an early mistake. He dresses in leather and heavy cloth, and wears a heavy chain necklace with a mysterious medallion attached to it. Varys is never seen without his iconic blade Odstarva, a sword nearly as long as a greatsword with a balanced hilt and a surprisingly sharp blade. Varys is also noted as being a smoker, and has a custom ivory pipe. Personality: Varys is wise and well cultured, but often arrogant and unforgiving. He enjoys life on the road, and city life bores him, he enjoys bars, taverns, excitement and intimate pleasures. He also likes to brawl, but never seeks to start a fight. He is often described by men as Intimidating, clever, arrogant, greedy and cunning. Women often find him, alluring, cultured, savvy and sometimes offensive. Combat: Varys is warrior at heart, but as much as he loves to bring the might of Odstarva to bear, he understands tactics. If he has the advantage of time and range, he usually coordinates ranged strikes before casting defensive magics and engaging in melee. In melee combat, Varys draws attention to himself with dazzling swordsmanship and angry shouts, meant not only to boast his ability but also to allow his allies freedom to engage the enemy at advantage. When overwhelmed, Varys fights defensively while withdrawing and targeting weaker enemies until the tide of battle moves back in his favor.
