Varkas

The leader of a group of bandits who make their base in Mt. Seifu. He is also known as **Varkas the Whirlwind Axe**. His only prey? Imperial officials who seek to line their own pockets.

旋風斧

He swings his prized bright red axe with ease. The name **Whirlwind Axe** comes from the relentless speed and force with which he attacks.

An Irreplaceable Man

Varkas saved Sydonia, who was being used as a spectacle by a traveling troupe, and made him his ally. It was an act of chivalry, but he never expected that Sydonia would become someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Now, Sydonia has become an irreplaceable man to Varkas, someone he can call his other half.

Pride of an Honorable Thief

The bandits of Mt. Seifu led by Varkas and Sydonia only targeted officials of the Scarlet Moon Empire, never attacking ordinary merchants or farmers. For Varkas, banditry was a way to vent his anger for the sake of those who had been oppressed by the Empire.
