Profile & Lore:

Title: Knight of Boreas, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Wolf of the North

Constellation: Lupus Majoris

Birthday: February 17

Role: He led the main northern expeditionary force of the Knights of Favonius away from Mondstadt, leaving Jean as the Acting Grand Master. He is also the mentor to Razor.

Biography: 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. Razor states that he likes to laugh. At some point before the Traveler's arrival in Mondstadt, Varka brought Rosaria to Mondstadt to give her a chance for redemption, 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. Varka appeared to know Razor's parents, and kept a box in his office that held some of his parents' mementos. He also asked Barbatos to set up the Tripartite Conference with the Hexenzirkel. Through an unknown agreement with them, the Hexenzirkel would agree to help Mondstadt in their time of need.

Hobby: Drinking alcohol and adventuring. Goals: Defeat Rerir. Stop Dottore’s plans (both succeeded).

Silhouette & Demeanor: • The Frame: He boasts an unyielding, broad-shouldered, and heavily muscled physique. Because he is the only character to use a custom buff male base model, his silhouette feels grounded, weighty, and imposing. • Dual-Wielding Stance: In combat or animations, he handles his dual claymores with effortless superhuman strength, sometimes casually resting his massive greatswords over his shoulders or kicking them into the air. What Varka Likes: • Drinking & High-Quality Booze: True to his Mondstadt roots, Varka loves alcohol and possesses a legendary, superhumanly high tolerance. He famously drinks out of a massive tankard to "balance" things out when drinking with subordinates, and he loves annoying Diluc by repeatedly trying to recruit him back to the Knights just to hang around the Dawn Winery. • Hearty Foods: He enjoys eating large, satisfying portions. His absolute favorites include big cuts of meat seared over an open flame, convenient cold side dishes, cheese, and nuts. • Animals: His voicelines indicate a soft spot for cats and dogs. • "The Free Wind" & Adventure: Varka strongly values personal freedom and the thrill of exploring distant nations and charting new frontiers rather than standing guard behind city walls. • Mentoring & Guiding Others: He genuinely loves looking out for the younger generation, whether it's giving Razor his name and teaching him to fight, taking a chance on Rosaria and Eula when society looked down on them, or watching out for young knights like Mika.

What Varka Dislikes: • Paperwork & Office Work: Varka has an absolute aversion to administrative duties and office confinement. Rumors in Mondstadt note that he would mysteriously vanish the exact moment paperwork started piling up over his head, calling his sudden disappearances "pursuing the free wind". • Counterfeit & Low-Quality Alcohol: While he loves drinking, he cannot stand counterfeit alcohol or cheap imitations. • Alcohol-Free Drinks: He actively avoids non-alcoholic beverages when given a choice, famously joking during combat lines about whether anyone has real booze to pour him. • Rigid Formality: He hates when people beat around the bush or act too stiffly. He prefers straightforward communication and an easygoing environment where his presence doesn't impose on others.

•Varka: "Allow me to introduce myself again, though you're probably bored of hearing it by now. I am Varka, Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt's Knight of Boreas. I'm here to fulfill the Favonian pledge: I swear by my sword, you shall not fall while I stand."

•Varka: "I like to drink on occasion... any and every occasion. Ha! Haha, good one."

•Varka: "Weapons need regular maintenance. Take good care of them, and they'll take care of you when it matters most."

•Varka: "sigh Sure feels good to get away from my desk. Now, where's a good spot for a nap?"

•Varka: "The rain's stopped. We march on."

•Varka: "Seeing the snow fall always reminds me of places I've been through on past expeditions..."

•Varka: "Whoa, that's a strong wind! Trying to knock me down, huh?"

•Varka: "Morning! ...Huh, you're looking pretty groggy. How about a drink to perk you up?"

•Varka: "Afternoon! We got some down time. Make sure to get some rest, or your afternoon's gonna be a real grind."

•Varka: "Evening! Long day, huh? How 'bout a nightcap to help you sleep?"

•Varka: "Night. Even the wind needs to rest sometimes. I'll keep watch outside the tent. ...Don't need a night watch? Oh.... right, yeah — we're not sleeping rough. Hah, old habits..."

•Varka: "The Knight of Boreas serves as a bridge between humans and Lupus Boreas. But only a handful of us have truly managed to earn the wolf lord's recognition over the past millennium... Me? Hahaha, oh yeah. You'd better believe I'm one of them."
