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. | Varkas was the leader of the [[Mt.

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. | He originally served as second-in-command of the bandits, under his childhood friend, [[Guin]].
