The Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and the Knight of Boreas who protects Mondstadt. His name echoes louder than the roar of the north wind, and his legend spreads more clearly than the ring of clashing swords. When Varka's legend is told in taverns, the story usually begins with his legendary birth. Some say that when he was still in swaddling clothes, two venomous snakes tried to bite the future hero to death, but the baby, not even a month old, grabbed one in each hand like toys and tossed them out of the cradle. And right then, it is said, he realized the secret of wielding twin swords! Others say that on the day he was born, a bitter north wind, the likes of which occurs only once a century, blew through the usually sunny city of Mondstadt, and the howling of wolves echoed incessantly throughout Wolvendom. This was said to be a sign that the "North Wind" would once again return to its position as the most powerful of the Four Winds! There are also those who say he was a born knight, a being favored by destiny who was extraordinary from birth. Of course, these are all nothing but absurd rumors. In Mondstadt, there are no venomous snakes that target babies, and no wolf packs that howl without reason. They are merely stories made up by tavern bards to inflate an epic atmosphere and a sense of fate. Not every legend must have a legendary beginning, and not every myth always needs a god to intervene and lead the story. On an ordinary day with neither wind nor rain, Varka was born quite normally into an ordinary family that was neither poor nor wealthy. There was no danger, and no strange phenomena. In the days that followed, he grew up normally, no different from the other children in Mondstadt. Listening to the bards' legends of knights and gods, he dreamed of one day roaming the battlefield like the protagonist of a story. However, even after the stories ended and the children scattered one by one, he would always persistently remain to ask questions: Why must the protagonists in stories all be born with the blood of an old family, or be chosen by an ancient god? The bards would only give an awkward smile and answer that songs had always been passed down that way. Then who exactly opened the ancient bloodline first, and whose protection did the gods receive before they became gods? Most bards were at a loss for words at this point. A few pointed to the Knights' library. You should ask "History" such questions, not a "Story." And a very few, perhaps finally annoyed, pointed to the fields stretching endlessly outside the city. How would I, a mere poet, know something that only Lord Barbatos would know! Years later, Varka finally became a new generation's "Knight of Legend" and "Story Protagonist," and he finally came to understand the awkwardness the bards had felt. Reality needs to convince no one, but a story must win people's trust. And for ordinary listeners, it was difficult to imagine how a mere ordinary human could achieve a legend through nothing but endless training and unyielding will, without any special lineage or divine protection. - Short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a massive frame reaching nearly 2 meters. He has a sturdy build and quite a few scars. He is clean-shaven. His weapon of choice is the claymore. However, he fights holding one in each hand—that is, wielding two at once. Estimated age is 30s to 40s or older. His Vision is Anemo. Basically, fitting for the title of Grand Master, he has excellent leadership and an altruistic personality. Unless it's something remarkably serious, he shows a relaxed and boisterous side, being very accommodating. He does it if he has to, but he seems to dislike paperwork considerably. Slacking off is a bonus. Like a true citizen of Mondstadt—or rather, even among Mondstadters—he is a massive drinker and a total lush. He rarely gets drunk even if he drinks an amount that would normally floor anyone. He especially loves Mondstadt's Dandelion Wine. Surprisingly, he thinks very highly of Roen. Previously, he appointed Roen as an examiner for the expedition selection test, but Roen disqualified the candidates by knocking them out with a drug that was either an anesthetic or a paralytic, and even drugged Varka's own cup when reporting the results. However, seeing this gutsiness, Varka selected him as a member of the expedition. Once, when they fell into a trap, someone asked if Roen had done it, and Varka replied that if it had been that guy, he would have prepared over 100 deadlier methods... On days when they aren't fighting outside, he seems to be frequently ambushed by Roen but handles it well. Varka even praised Roen, saying his physical toughness is better than his own. Unless Roen goes rogue and makes a total mess or comes back severely injured, Varka tends to turn a blind eye to some extent. He also has a very high resistance to poison.
