Varian

Varian apBlanc duMonde

Varian apBlanc duMonde is perhaps the most successful Prince in Trae Kelsa. His rule over the vampires of the land was just and viciously strict. His reign followed closely behind the brief stint in which a creature named Renee Nightdragon claimed the title.

Varian is responsible for the creation of a sturdy society of Kindred, in which he held court and congress, mimicking those of the human world. Through both politics and war, Varian commanded the allegience of the region's most infamous and powerful vampires. At his side, his confidant and most trusted ally, Lucian was regarded as a ruthless and diabolical "guard dog" of the Prince.

In the wake of Varian's second marriage to Tremere known as Zzaryn, Varian fell into an overwhelming state of melancholy, during which Lucian became corrupt with infernal practices and betrayed the Prince. In the midst of the conflict between Varian and the Kindred who was once his Justicar, Varian severed one of Lucian's hands in retribution. In the end, Varian returned to the arms of Astraeana, a lover he had taken before and during his marriage to Zzaryn. Together, the two of them made plans to depart from the realm.

With disgust, Varian deconstructed his court and disappeared from Trae Kelsa for several years. During this absence, the title of Prince fell into the hands of a young Brujah, by the name of Undertaker and Lucian vanished. The Brujah was regarded by Varian before this time as the Son of Troile, a monicker that the Ventrue considered to be an insult.

The events that have taken place in Varian's unlife since that point are left to speculation and rumor; or word of mouth from the Ventrue himself. Now, Varian has returned to Trae Kelsa and has made his intentions to reclaim his throne clear.
