Backstory (Compact Version)

Varian was once part of a secretive order known as the Eclipse Wardens, an elite group who protected kingdoms by manipulating information from behind the scenes. After a mission went wrong and his team was wiped out due to corruption from within, he left the order and now operates alone—seeking truth, justice, and occasionally revenge.

The mask is the last memento of his fallen squad.
