Varkas was the leader of the [[Mt. Seifu]] bandits, known as the "Whirlwind Axe", due to his battlefield prowess. He was described as a well-built man with a square, tanned face and thick eyebrows, protruding from a ridge.

Seifu]] bandits, known as the "Whirlwind Axe", due to his battlefield prowess and the force of the small hand-axes he wielded in combat.
