Background / History

Varré was once a Knight of the Roundtable and a renowned Dragon Cult Knight. Beloved by the ancient dragon Lansax, he nevertheless remained devoted to his Finger Maiden and sought to become Elden Lord without following the Two Fingers' usual path. He and Lansax bypassed the conventional route by flying to the Altus Plateau; when Morgott intercepted them, Lansax lured him away so Varré could reach the Erdtree. 121 161

At the Erdtree, Varré learned that the Thorn of Oblivion could only be burned through a Finger Maiden's sacrifice. Shabriri offered him an alternative: accept the Frenzied Flame and burn the tree himself. Varré accepted, but lost his will to the flame; his Finger Maiden later committed suicide, and Varré was sealed in prison. 121 161

Lin Luo initially encountered Varré in Limgrave, where the White Mask mocked him as a maidenless Tarnished. Lin Luo defeated him with the Black Sword, killing him and taking his bouquet and Pureblood Knight's Medal. 2

Months later, Lin Luo found Varré within the Sealed Dungeon. Lin Luo's earlier absorption of much of the Frenzied Flame had weakened its control, allowing Varré's consciousness to return. Though initially hostile toward Lin Luo's ambition to become Elden Lord, Varré listened after learning of Lin Luo's plan to oppose the Greater Will. Lin Luo then removed the Frenzied Flame from Varré's body, and Varré joined him. 123 124

Appearance

Varré first appears in white robes and a white mask. He also wears a helmet in battle, though he removes it in the Consecrated Snowfield to see through the fog; Lin Luo notes that he is good-looking without it. 2 131

• White-robed, White Mask attire. 2
• Frequently fights in a helmet and carries a long spear. 123 131
• His right arm can become wreathed in red lightning during combat. 128

Personality

Varré is theatrical, boastful, impulsive, and prone to dramatic declarations. He frequently underestimates opponents, poses in dangerous situations, and needles Lin Luo with inappropriate jokes. 125 128 134 212

Despite this outward arrogance, he is deeply loyal and emotionally driven. His choice to embrace the Frenzied Flame came from his refusal to sacrifice his Finger Maiden, and his grief over her death fuels his hatred of the Greater Will. 121 124

He adapts quickly once genuinely threatened, respects Lin Luo's overwhelming strength after their duel, and gradually becomes a dependable—if noisy—companion. 125 126 132
