Agar sees himself as a scientist rather than a Wizard. One of his hobbies is the creation of all kinds of hybrid creatures, that usually go on a rampage and need to be destroyed by brave adventurers. Agar was shocked when his disciple, the Elf Telgoran, was beaten to death by an angry mob after creating beautiful monsters. Agar feels he could create a much more "enlightened" society if he could sit on VARN's throne.
Ragnar Ironfist
Ragnar Ironfist is as merciless as his name implies. His father ruthlessly assassinated his own brother, and Ragnar would do just the same without thinking twice - if he had a brother. Instead, Ragnar's cousin Morglin tried to strike first by hiring the hedge-Wizard Guthbert to kill Ragnar. The attempt was effortlessly foiled, and Guthbert revealed the whole plot during the "questioning" that followed. Unfortunately, Morglin managed to flee the land before justice could be served. Even 25 years later, Ragnar feels uneasy knowing this conspirator is still out there somewhere.
Ranalou
Ranalou the Gatemaster is an expert of portals and teleportation, and has actually built many of the Spirit Gates that can be found on VARN. Driven by a strong sense of fair play, Ranalou is appalled to see how little concern his fellow VARNians seem to have for the rights and dignity of other living beings. After decades of dutiful service to the realm, Ranalou has decided his time has come to take arms to defend the values he believes in, and pave the way for a future ruled by fraternity and compassion.
