Moral Alignment:
Lawful Evil | Varden's grasp on order is as follows; strength leads first. This is the only true rule he respects, following the words of those who demonstrate greater power, either through physical or magical means, or taking that role for himself if the situation demands it, without complaint to the conduct of such a leader.
Personality Type:The Virtuoso; ISTP-A | A smith and tanner, Varden's life consists largely of creation and attempts to innovate his work- at least, when he isn't wearing his work into battle. He finds most of the peace in his days between hammer-strikes, funnelling the Orken Thrift innate to his person into steel and straps. Despite this, he maintains the propensity for immense cruelty, believing his skill in metalwork, either through creating the breastplate or through caving it in, to owe him reverence and fear.
Religious Affiliation:Religion: Katharism.
Piety: 9/10 | Varden reveres the Void Prefect of Power above all, holding the Sceptre Lord's creation of the fourteen sceptres held by the Dread warlords today to be the standard to which he should strive to bring his work during his lifetime, that he might one day rival the Prefect himself, or in the very least, acquire some great boon or artefact from it to increase his own power.

Life Story
Birth & Childhood (0-12)Varden Menelloth is born in early April of 230AC to two Bakrathar Kathar parents, one of four children of the pairing. Owing to the standard of Bakrathar childhood, Varden learns early on the value of strength and independence and, by the age of 7, is the only one of his siblings left.
Varden proves himself as a vicious, violent child almost as soon as he is able to stand on his own two feet; growing up among the Slaughter Games of Warlord Kur'ozz the Inferno, exposure to violence and aggression desensitises him and his obsession with creating begins early, with makeshift spears of branches and knives scattered around his home.

Teenage Years & Adolescence (12-25)
Varden is practically abandoned by his parents at the age of 14; proven to be a capable fighter and viable offspring, his parents separate and leave him to fend for himself, which he does quite enthusiastically. Apprenticing under a surprisingly hospitable Bakrathar smith, he picks up metal work early on, particularly in armouring.
In the meantime, Varden picks up the warhammer, using his innate Bakrathar strength to train in its use and, in time, become a formidable armour-sundering warrior for the Slaughter Games, crushing heads in Henates Duels almost as often as he himself has his own crushed.

Early Adulthood (25-50)
Varden's adulthood begins with a war; joining another Kaahl in their conflict, he finally sees first blood, crunching his way through enemy Kathar at the side of like-minded Vaalek-following Shenathar and Bakrathar and seizing victory for his side- as fleeting as victory between Kaahls can be.
Regardless, he develops an appetite for this manner of fighting, believing his destruction of lives and particularly armour to profess a certain twisted superiority of his own products- surely a breastplate of his own would never cave in like the ones he so flagrantly destroys on the field. His blacksmithing work continues, developing aesthetically into heavy, dark armour and weapons.

Later Adulthood (50-Present Day)
Varden's life continues as such, creating exquisitely brutal suits of armour and weaponry between armed conflicts with Kathar, Avanthar, or Altalar, collecting souvenirs from his destructive travels until the advent of the Dread War. Galvanised into action alongside the rest of the Dread Empire and encouraged by the presence of the Dread Dragon Rikkira, Varden dives head first into war with the Altalar principalities, gathering gilded crests and armour from across the front to add to his collection and incorporate into his works- until the war ends, and the Dread Empire loses. Enraged and frustrated by defeat, Varden remains outside the Dread holdings with a handful of other Bakrathar and Shenathar, reaving their way through lands and slowly withering, either through disillusionment or death.
Varden himself splits off in late 309AC; seeing no more use in raiding Altalar towns, he looks east, naming the Regalian capital as his next target. After all, why shouldn't he? If they could break the terrifying Dread Empire, then there must be something truly powerful within its walls for him to lay witness to.
