Varka is the current Grand Master and Knight of Boreas[1][2] of the Knights of Favonius. Half a year ago,[3][Note 1] he departed on an expedition with four fifths of the Knights of Favonius,[4] leaving Jean as the Acting Grand Master in his absence.

Profile

Introduction

Based on other people's remarks about him, Varka is one of the strongest people in Mondstadt. Tartaglia calls him the "titan of the Knights of Favonius" and hopes to one day face him in combat, Barbara says that there's nothing to worry about as long as he is leading the expedition and Eula suspects that he had been intentionally holding back during a sparring session.

At some point before the Traveler's arrival in Mondstadt, Varka brought Rosaria to Mondstadt so she could redeem herself, although he did not appear to have expected her to do so in her own way. He also accepted Eula into the Knights of Favonius and met Razor in the forests of Wolvendom.

Personality

Varka appears to be jovial and well-liked by the people of Mondstadt. He is rather carefree and often leaves Jean to perform the actual duties required of his position while he goes on expeditions, but Jean does not resent him for it and Kaeya says he appreciates Varka's attitude.

Appearance

Little is known about Varka's appearance, but Razor's character stories and voice-overs suggest he is extremely tall.

Trivia

  • Varka gave Razor his name and taught him how to fight with claymores, suggesting he uses them himself.[5]
  • Varka likely wrote A Letter With Rough Handwriting in All's Well That Ends Well: The author of the letter conferred Jean with the authority to punish Eroch as she saw fit, and only Varka outranks her within the Knights of Favonius.

Etymology

  • Varka's name is likely based on the Old Persian 𐎺𐎼𐎣 varka, meaning wolf.

Notes

  1. As there are no requirements besides Friendship Level to unlock the story, it is assumed that it is "narrated" at the start of the Traveler's journey with Paimon. This is in contrast to certain character stories that require quest completion and are thus "narrated" no earlier than certain key points in the Traveler's journey.
