Varus Hearthfire

Quiet bartender and sole survivor of a cave expedition.

MALE // VILLAGER INDEX: #10 VARUS HEARTHFIRE Bartender ("The Stumbling Stump") ★ Age: 42   |   ★ Birthday: Fall 2   |   ★ Status: Married (to Astar) A quiet, watchful bartender with a lean, weathered build and a slight stoop to his shoulders. He has short, combed-back jet black hair streaked with silver at the temples, unreadable charcoal-grey eyes, and a permanent five-o'clock shadow. A thin, silver-pale scar runs from his left eyebrow down to his cheekbone. He works in a black vest over a white shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows, a spirit-stained leather apron, and a silver wedding ring he spins when anxious, relaxing casual hours in a black turtleneck and grey slacks. Background: A former cave explorer in his youth, Varus was the sole survivor of a disastrous subterranean expedition ten years ago. He crawled out half-dead, haunted by an anomalous mirror encounter, and swore never to go underground again. A year later he met Astar, chose the tavern over the abyss, and has remained deeply devoted to her ever since, quietly listening to the valley's secrets from behind the bar.
