Varnis Coldwake
His smile is soft and sad, like the first leaf of fall. But his blade speaks for those who were tricked, ensnared, or never returned.
Name: Varnis Coldwake
Race: Eladrin Elf (Autumn Aspect)
Class/Role: Feybane Inquisitor
Age: 219
Appearance: Varnis bears the melancholic beauty of the Autumn Eladrin—red-gold hair pulled into a warrior’s knot, bronze-toned skin, and eyes like fading sunlight through smoke. His attire is layered with mist-hued leathers, travel-worn cloaks, and iron-trimmed sashes inscribed with names. His presence is quiet and comforting until the moment he draws his blade—then it’s like the cold snap before winter’s first storm.
Backstory
Once a court emissary in the Feywild, Varnis served as an oathbound soulkeeper to an archfey of untold beauty. When his patron twisted their bond to ensnare innocents from the Material Plane, Varnis broke the pact and fled—bringing with him secrets and scars. Now he walks the mortal world as a Feybane, seeking out those ensnared by fae magic, freeing victims of enchantment, and putting down faerie horrors that defy reason. He is both liberator and executioner, wielding cold iron and remembered sorrow.
