Vengeful Varian

"I will make you proud of me, Dad… if it's the last thing I ever do."

Vengeful Varian is the main antagonist and former deuteragonist to "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" by Disney. This takes place on how things could have gone during the Vengeful Varian arc of season 1. This version of Varian escaped from being thrown in prison and joined the Bad End Friends.

## Vengeful Varian

Varian is the deuteragonist turned main antagonist from "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" but this Varian is if he escaped from his mech suit before he could be arrested in the episode "Secret of the Sun Drop."

## Backstory

Varian was a young child who loved to tinker with alchemy (though many mistook it for magic). But nobody approved of it and shunned him for it. Even his father Quirin did not approve, but the black rocks that were destroying the village were not being taken care of, so he tried to fix the problem himself. Instead, he ended up trapping his dad in Amber in the process, and when he runs to Rapunzel for help, she turns her back on him and breaks her promise to keep his village safe. As a result, his father was encased in amber. Blinded by rage, he decided it was Rapunzel's fault and threatened to trap her mother in amber if Rapunzel did not help him save Quirin. But it ended up failing, this caused him to snap and try to kill Rapunzel and her friends, this also failed. Luckily for him, he escaped into the woods, alone, without a home, and filled with rage. However, he was found and offered help from an insane person and has never been the same.

## Abilities

Although Varian has no powers he is incredibly intelligent and he uses his genius to create mechanical and alchemic inventions such as:

* Automatons: The Automatons are ancient robots that were made to guard the underground entry of the vault of Corona Castle. They have an appearance similar to a Big Daddy from Bioshock with multiple green eyes and a giant, bulky, mechanical look. Varian copied them and programmed them to attack the Sundrop (aka Rapunzel) as a distraction at first and as protection the second time. After Varian built his Automaton army, he made a mech suit based on their general design, this time with a red "eye" window instead of green eyes and smoke spewing out of it.
* Amber gun: The amber gun shoots a small ball of amber that encases whatever it hits.
* Truth potion: When Varian found the Attitude-Reversing Potion, he altered it and made a truth potion that compels the user to tell the truth.

* Alchemy belt: A belt full of little chemical balls that do a variety of things:
* Cyan: Creates a cyan bubble that can trap objects and people inside of it.
* Pink: Traps things in pink goo.
* Yellow: Dissolves pink goo.
* Dark Purple: Creates a puff of purple smoke.
* Green: Makes a flash of blinding light appear when thrown.

* Scrolls/Incantations: He can decode difficult codes, as he was the only one who was able to translate the third and fourth incantations. He discovered some and kept them for further research of their potential and capabilities.
* Sleep Powder: A green powder that can put someone to sleep; it was used to capture the queen as a way to blackmail Rapunzel into helping him free his dad from the amber.
* Transformation: Varian has been shown multiple times to be able to transform his pet Ruddiger into a giant monster using alchemy.

## Personality

Even if he snapped in Corona he's pretty much the same. He's kind of clumsy (although noticeably less), kind, supportive, dorky, and understanding, but he can be serious when he needs to be. Varian's gained some trust issues due to what happened with Rapunzel and is almost always on his toes around his allies. He's extremely intelligent, being skilled in alchemy, recreating machines from scratch, and learning an ancient language in a relatively short time. His mental stability has worn down enough to be more willing to hurt people than before and is even willing to kill someone if he has to. One thing that sets Varian off is if someone talks bad about his father, despite their falling out, Quirin still cares about his son and Varian still wishes for his father to be proud of him. Overall, Varian has become more violent, anger-prone, and mentally unstable than he was before.

## Appearance

Varian is a short teenager with light blue eyes and a similarly colored hairstreak in his black hair. He wears his first appearance outfit from season one, which consists of a black/gray trench coat, with black gloves, dark brown boots, brown pants, and a grey metal welding mask with green glowing eyes. He holds a wooden staff with three glowing chemicals tied to it.

## Behind the Scenes

Varian originates from "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" episode "What the Hair!?" from season 1 episode 1 and had a proposed comic book about him named "Varian and the Seven Kingdoms" (it was rejected however because Disney thought Varian wasn't popular enough for the comic to be successful).

## Trivia

* Varian is the smartest person in his village.
* The blue stripe in his hair has sparked many theories called the "Moonstone Varian Theory".
* The show "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure" used to be called "Tangled the Series" in season one.
* Tangled is based on the Rapunzel fairytale which takes place in Germany. Taking this into account it's not hard to conclude that Corona is in Germany making Varian's nationality German.
* Varian may or may not still have his mech suit.
