[]Appearance: Varlo is a tall, broad-shouldered human male standing 6'5", with a square-cut jaw, storm-weathered features, and a greying, close-trimmed beard. His most striking feature is his ice-blue eyes, sharp and steady, known to quiet even the most unruly squads with a glance.

[]Personality: Varlo is quiet but magnetic—a man whose presence shapes rooms before he speaks. His dry, understated sense of humor acts like a pressure valve in battle. He doesn't lead with charisma or bluster, but with certainty—the kind born from experience and conviction.He is fiercely loyal to Diarch Reign, not because Reign needs protecting, but because he believes the Diarch has earned his loyalty by bleeding with his men. Varlo is a man shaped by trauma, defined by duty, and kept grounded by a personal sense of honor that doesn't bend under pressure. He sees his title not as privilege, but burden carried willingly.
COMBAT INFORMATION

[]Combat Function: Varlo is the frontline command node of the Myrmidons. In battle, he anchors formations, breaches enemy lines, and rallies squads through sheer will.

In any Myrmidon operation, Varlo is both shield and spear—and the reason soldiers hold when others break.
- Force Abilities (Force Users Only): N/A
Strengths:
[]The Mantle of Command – Inspires cohesion, resilience, and effectiveness even in the absence of the Diarchs. His leadership turns squads into legions.

[]Carries the Burden – Internalizes the cost of every fallen Myrmidon. Rarely delegates emotional strain, which can isolate him from broader command support.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Varlo Finnall emerged from the fire of the Battle of Muunilinst, where he rode beside Diarch Reign in the legendary speeder-lance charge against Detritus Ren of the Dark Empire. One of the few survivors of that suicidal run, Varlo was handpicked to lead the newly forged Emberborn, the First Cohort of the Myrmidons.
Since that day, Varlo has become a living legend in his own right. He carries no lightsaber, wields no Force, and seeks no glory—yet his presence commands deference from warriors, nobles, and Force Lords alike. To the Myrmidons, he is not just their commander. He is the embodiment of what it means to hold.
He has fought in dozens of conflicts across the Diarchy frontier
