In ''[[The Traitor's Hand (Novel)]]'', Varan's last words are given as, ''"Well, that was unexpected..."'', presumably referring to his own defeat and death. This quote was purportedly taken from Cain's own book of common sayings which he occasionally peppers into his lectures at the Schola Progenium<sup>2a</sup>.
However, in ''[[Cain's Last Stand (Novel)]]'', Varan's actual last words are ''"That was unexpected, wasn't it?" '' referring to the surprise appearance of his talons and sub-dermal armour<sup>1g</sup>.
It is possible that Cain misattributed the quote in his common book, or dressed it up slightly for the purpose of repeating it to his students.
