== Background / Personal history ==
* Varek Ashen's life was shaped by the Nightborne Syndicate from the moment he was born. Kidnapped as an infant, he was raised and conditioned to become the perfect assassin, molded into a weapon for the syndicate's use. His skills and loyalty earned him the favor of Soren Veldrin, the syndicate's enigmatic leader, who personally chose Varek as his heir and presented him with a magical dagger as a symbol of his destiny. However, Varek's world began to unravel when he discovered the truth about his origins. Learning that he had been stolen from his family shook the foundations of his identity, sparking doubts about his life as an assassin and the path laid before him. Before he could act on these doubts, Soren was assassinated, and Varek was framed for the murder. Branded a traitor, he has been on the run ever since, hunted by the organization that stole his childhood. Now, torn between his past and his growing desire to forge a new path, Varek dreams of a future free from bloodshed, where he can create a new oath for himself--a life defined by his own choices rather than those imposed on him.
== Things I'd Like To Explore In Future Adventures ==
* Finding out the truth behind Soren's murder. It turns out that Orin was behind Soren's murder and is planning on turning in Varek to the Syndicate. 
* Varek's origin. Specifically, I'd like Varek to eventually reunite with his birth parents. I'd like there to be a point in which Varek must choose the path of an assassin or a new path, possibly in a situation in which he finally regains the magical dagger. 
== People They Know ==
* Orin Vale: A trusted associate from Varek's time in the Nightborne Syndicate. Orin is the only person who believes in Varek's innocence. Their continued contact is a secret from the syndicate.
