History: A veteran of the First Contact War, Varien was one of the few less aggressive Turians. He actually saw the potential as humans, and believed they would make a good client race like the Volus. However, when their true military might was revealed, he saw them more as a race who might one day equal them. Varien has extensive biotic training, but his natural affinity for command and ability to inspire his troops and be particularly pursuasive showed he was meant for more then just a Cabal group. He was given his own command over a Spec Ops unit, labled "Nightwing".

This lasted for a few decades, before he eventually married and had a child named Callib. Eventually, when the Turians started Co-Designing ships with the Alliance, he was given command over one of the two prototype ships they had developed. The PFS Havincaw. While the details of this ship were largely classified, so most people (like Shuttle Pilot Cortez) did not know is true functionality or interior, it assisted him to preform various ops.

When the Reapers hit, he was on the comm with his wife and son. He had been skeptical of Command Shepard's claims, but never truly denounced him as a sign of respect to a fellow soldier. It was a vid comm, but the Reapers were invading right as they contacted him, and the transmission ended with an explosion from their side. No reports of them being alive have surfaced yet. Out of anger against the Reapers, he went to one of the first human colonies hit, to try and slow them down for the other families of military officers. It was there he rescued and "adopted" Elias Quinn, who's own parents were already dead. Realizing the kids potential, and the fact one way or another this kid was going to fight the Reapers, he now helps Varien.

Family Members: Wife and son, both MIA and suspected KIA.
