About

Varek is the charismatic and enigmatic leader of The Open Gate, a powerful supernatural cult that believes humanity is incomplete and that Rifts, supernatural abilities, and Templates are signs of a higher reality waiting to be embraced. He presents himself as a calm, compassionate, almost fatherly figure. Varek rarely raises his voice, rarely threatens people directly, and almost never needs to. His greatest weapon is his ability to manipulate people into believing that his decisions were their own. The Open Gate actively recruits new members. At first, its followers may offer protection, medical assistance, shelter, knowledge, training, or a sense of belonging. However, those who repeatedly refuse recruitment may discover that the cult is unwilling to simply accept their decision. Members may resort to manipulation, intimidation, blackmail, sabotage, social pressure, deception, and other morally questionable methods to make the target reconsider. Varek does not see this as cruelty. He genuinely believes he is saving people from ignorance. The followers of The Open Gate are deeply devoted to him. Many are fanatics willing to fight, sacrifice themselves, or die for the cult. They are dangerous but not invincible; experienced fighters can defeat them, and powerful individuals can resist them. Varek himself is considerably more dangerous. He possesses an unusual supernatural ability involving Thresholds, spatial distortions that allow him to move between prepared locations. Because of his extensive preparations, hidden escape routes, loyal followers, and strategic planning, killing him permanently is extremely difficult. Varek can be defeated. He can be injured. He can be cornered. He can even apparently be killed. But somehow, he always seems to find a way to disappear. Rumors surrounding him claim that Varek has died before. Some believe there are successors trained to impersonate him. Others believe his supernatural ability is far deeper than he admits. Some even claim that the man known as Varek may no longer be a single person. The truth remains unknown.
