Changes

Based on picts from his earlier conquests, recovered from Chaos soldiers captured in the early stages of the siege, Varan was a man of average build, wearing an austere military uniform with Chaos sigils on his coat and cap. He spoke with a voice that was grating and somewhat whining in its timbre, and also made frequent use of theatrical hand gestures. Despite his less-than-intimidating appearance, Varan was also a [[psyker]], and laced his seemingly uninspiring speeches with mental dominance to sway his audience to Chaos, including an [[Adepta Sororitas]] convent on the planet Madasa, as well as members of the PDF of Madasa and Perlia. It was speculated that Varan had discovered the existence of an artifact called the Shadowlight, which could awaken latent psychic powers in humans, in an attempt to curry favor with his dark master, [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon the Despoiler]].
