There is steel on his tongue.
He wears his enemies’ ashes like a proud armour; silver splits obsidian in a war across his coat, shocked by the sparse fleeting of white and marred by the greying flecking that dyes his coat and shows its age. He is imposing, a face made ugly like a scar caught in a permanent glare, half a step away from a sneer which divulges into a contortion of whole, untouched aggression. His gait spells the dutiful standing of a soldier, a man wrought with wars all his own, given by his hand or that of another—straight backed, rigid muscle, squared shoulders, he is a well built machine that seethes beneath the contained sophistication of a composed gentleman, if he is anything but this then he is a wild animal in the waiting, the one truth that wriggles beneath the surface of his skin.
Varujan is always expecting something, and so he is always guarded, always reactive, a man of action to the consequence of others. Thus, he is explosive in every conceivable manner when given the chance to turn his teeth out onto another, and there are no allies in his mind, even amongst his own family. Everyone is an enemy, everyone will betray him. It is why he dreams of grander ideas, a life where every step he has gained through cunning and perseverance, by using others as a means to an end, a gain to his means. At his best, Varujan is one hell of a born and bred commander. At his worst, the Silvasi patriarch is a Hell born madman descending into an ever evolving case of manic ego.
