Varus

Original Varus

Wielding radiant mineral bows, three excavators dove into a cave of crystalline monsters. But only the grimly determined Varus emerged. While shattering the horrors that lurked in dark depths, they lost all grasp of time, sense, and self. Varus became an amalgam of crystal, monster, and man—now fracturing the world he once sought to make safe.

Blight Crystal Varus

Once each millenium an ancient, godlike entity descends from the heavens, choosing worthy warriors to be his will incarnate. These beings are the Arclight—immortal agents of the light divine.

Arclight

Across the heavens and spanning all of creation, the Agents of Light wage an eternal battle against an unyielding darkness.

The archer Varus, bathed in the transcendental energies of the Arclight, found himself connected to a great cosmic wholeness more ancient than he had ever known. He now enforces this oneness, turning away entire armies long before they can ignite the flames of war.

Heartbreakers

Be Mine

Love hurts, and Varus is ready to prove it with a quiver full of romance and the seasoned eye of a veteran matchmaker. Angelic harps follow him across the world as he searches for unwitting lovebirds, who soon find their chests pierced by deadly heart-shaped arrowtips.

Heartseeker Varus

Two archers cursed by an ancient, evil monster, Varus is roleplaying one archer cursed by an ancient, evil monster. It's not much of a departure for him, but Varus is way better at hunting Noxians than playing tabletop games.

Infernal

Varus now picks up his bow once more, riding as a Harbinger. It's high time he got revenge for the massacre of Heaven.

As the Snow Moon rises beyond the humbling mountains of Ionia, a chill passes across the land. Those who worship in its name—a cult of unwavering assassins—commence their ritual. With snow comes purification, a cleansing only possible through the sacrifice of one's humanity.

Snow Moon

A voice echoes from the silence: “Writhe, beasts, brethren. The moons of a doomed Ionia rise like eyes of starved demons, awaiting the red of your fealty—or are they monstrous blights that cannot pass? Either way, we are vessels plunged in ritual and sacrifice. At the moon's peak, we carve flesh from flesh, offering the meager gift of all that we are.”
