2096: The Shrink Protocol: Varric Noctis

Varric Noctis is the silent dagger in the Accord’s hand, sent where politics fail and fear must speak. His silhouette and crest echo the ancient “Bat Guardian” of Outer Zone legends — a figure whispered to strike from the night skies.

Trained in the catacombs of the Old Capital, Varric’s armor blends impact-absorbing plates with glider-like edges for rooftop maneuvers. While the people see him as a lone urban myth, the Crown knows he’s their most efficient hunter.

His mark — a golden-winged bat — isn’t just a symbol; it’s the last thing his prey sees before disappearing into the dark.
