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. He was the third son of a farming family, and had learned some letters and words from a priest as a youth, marking him as not completely illiterate.

He originally served as second-in-command of the bandits, under his childhood friend, [[Guin]]. However, Guin's increasingly autocratic, self-serving, and paranoid rule would lead to arguments between the two, culminating in Guin poisoning Varkas and attempting to assassinate him. [[Sydonia]], who Varkas had been taking care of after finding him in a carriage the group had raided, would prevent the attack and with his last ounce of strength, Varkas would strike Guin down.

After the Toran Liberation Army acquired [[Toran Castle]], Varkas and Sydonia travelled there in order to return the favour they owed by joining the Toran Liberation Army. Varkas served in the Toran Liberation Army throughout the [[Gate Rune War]]. During the war, Varkas also found he missed the easy-going bandit life he had enjoyed on Mt. Seifu.

Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Varkas was named the ~~Captain~~ of the [[Border Guard]] of the newly-formed [[Toran Republic]]. During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Varkas would encounter [[Sheena]] and [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] attempting to enter the [[Toran Republic]].

As they were representing a force traditionally hostile to the republic's predecessor, the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], Varkas chose not to allow the group free entry but escorted the party to [[Gregminster]].
