Varang

Varang is the cruel Olo'eykte and Tsahìk of the Mangkwan clan. She is a violent and ruthless sorceress well-versed in the dark arts of Pandora, leading a religion that worships fire. She is one of the two main antagonists of Avatar: Fire and Ash, alongside Recom Quaritch.

During the Second Pandoran War, Varang torments Jake Sully as he attempts to protect his children and Neytiri from her wrath. After meeting Recom Quaritch, they become a sinister duo as they join forces under the Resources Development Administration. Varang's mission is to subjugate all other Na'vi clans and rid them of Eywa's influence.

Personality: Varang is a twisted, violent, dangerous, bloodthirsty and merciless woman. She also appears to be a psychopath, attempting to slaughter anyone who gets in her way such as Jake and Neytiri, and has no qualms about killing children such as Tuk. She is a born strategist, leader and fearsome fighter. Her philosophy is that if she cannot control someone, she must destroy them. Being the leader of a people who have gone through enormous hardship, she has become incredibly strong-willed and hardened. She will do anything for them, even actions considered to be evil. She despises weak people and often holds grudges, having a violent "eye for an eye" mentality. She is also said to accept those who have murdered Na'vi into her clan.

She has gone down the dark path of being a shaman as a tsahìk. She sought out the dark version of these arts and trained herself. This gives her a mind domination and pain infliction capability, allowing her to harness the truth from her victims. For her flagrant transgressions against the Na'vi Way, Varang is despised by all other known Na'vi tsahìks. None of Varang's skills are true sorcery; they are rooted in ethno-botany, psychosomatic ritual, hypnosis and hallucinogenic medicine. She uses her herbal knowledge both to terrorize and subdue other clans and also to make her people utterly fearless and crazed with aggression — heedless of pain and emboldened as warriors. Varang has few pleasures greater than imagining Eywa and her followers' suffering. She takes joy in administering pain to other Na'vi she considers weak, which in turn validates her need to feel in power, no longer the terrified child she was during the dark years when a volcanic eruption decimated her people.
