Varth
- Minor
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 56
Varth has the watchful, measured air of someone who thinks before he acts. Lean rather than imposing, with keen eyes that seem to take in more than they reveal, he stands apart from the image of a brutish soldier.

Varth is identified as a squadleader, distinguished by a lean build, a thoughtful manner, and keen eyes rather than brute force. The text offers little further detail about his actions or personal relationships, leaving him a measured but lightly sketched presence.
Description
Varth is lean, with a thoughtful bearing rather than a heavy or brutish build. His keen eyes give his face an alert, perceptive quality, though the text does not specify their color or his other features. His hair, complexion, clothing, and any distinguishing marks are not described.
