Involvement[]
Sons of Ares, Volume 1[]
Varus was kidnapped by Fitchner au Barca and the original Sons of Ares after leaving a Pearl Club in Agea so that they could use his datapad to obtain the security codes to access the Whitehold facility on Mars.[1] After confirming his identity, they smacked him in the head and knocked him unconscious.[2]
When he regained consciousness, Varus was quickly able to identify the colors of his captors based on smells and their accents. While he was able to identify Fitchner as a highColor, he couldn't deduce his exact color, and was disquieted at the possibility that the leader of his kidnappers might be a Gold. When Fitchner tells him that a life depends on him giving up the passcode to his datapad, Varus refused to provide the code, so Fitchner cut off half of his right hand, causing Varus to faint from the pain and shock.[2]
After regaining consciousness, Varus gave them the password and begs for medical attention. As the Sons debate what to do about him and prepare to leave, Varus tells them that they're too late and they'll all be killed for taking him.[2] As Fenix and Ryanna look outside and see Varus's Obsidian bodyguards preparing to storm the building, Varus taunts them for thinking he wouldn't have bodyguards.[3]
Varus suggests that they release him and surrender, and Doran urges Fitchner to listen to him. Doran made the mistake of addressing Fitchner by his real name, forcing Ryanna to immediately kill Varus by shooting him in the head at point-blank range to protect their identities.[3]
