Variks, Kell of Kells

Variks, the Loyal is a Fallen warden of the Prison of Elders. He belongs to the House of Judgment, and has no loyalty to any members of the House of Wolves or any of the Kells. He is one of the few Fallen who has remained loyal to the Queen of the Reef, acting as one of her advisors. Variks sells Fallen-themed items to Guardians. Variks uses a modified servitor to guard the Prison and communicate to Guardians.

Variks had lived among the House of Wolves and witnessed the Uprising on Cybele under Skolas. Unable to abide the attack on civilians, he contacted the crows and helped put an end to the uprising, with Skolas being captured. From that day Variks served the Queen, in an effort to keep House Judgement and its ancient traditions alive in the face of increasing degradation under the rule of the Kells. Variks wishes to see the Fallen restored to lawful, peaceful rule. He feels some jealousy for the other races, especially humanity, as the Traveler had chosen them for its patronage and left the Fallen with nothing, not even memories of former glory.
