Physical description
Physically, Leo is quite unremarkable, with dark eyes, straight black hair almost reaching his eyes and regular features. His body is of average height and is moderately fit from years of travel and survival. He usually wears a serious, somber expression, perhaps magnified by the dark rings under his eyes, betraying his insomniatic nature. His body temperature is higher than the average person, as he lives in a constant near-feverish state that is the consequence of mild overgiving. He shaves whenever possible, but tends to rarely comb his hair.
Biography
The Varniak family used to know a ceramic workshop in Syliras, and Leo grew up wanting to be a potter himself. Allistir, the owner and Leo's supposed father, had married his mother Lina, a ceramic artist working for him; Leo was the only offspring of their union, though he never resembled Allistir at all. Allistir regularly beat his wife and mistreated his son, drinking his nights away at the local tavern and abusing the rest of his family. One day, Lina told Leo that the main reason for Allistir's hate was because he saw everything about his adoptive brother Alvias in him - a wizard and a priest of the fire god Ivak - and he suspected Alvias was Leo's real father. A mysterious man, Alvias had left the household for parts unknown, but he had returned temporarily around the time Leo was conceived.
When Allistir found a letter from Alvias that Lina had been hiding, he went into a mad rage and strangled her to death in front of Leo. As he was about to finish the boy, something unlocked within Leo and he discovered he was able to wield the power of fire. He burned Allistir alive and the whole house to ashes with him. Years later, Leo found confirmation that Alvias was indeed his father and a priest of the Azenth, Ivak's faction. Leo has since followed on his father's footsteps, becoming a member of the Syliran triad and embarking on a quest to destroy Rhysol's agents in the city as well as to free the god of fire from his prison.
