Varan to Skif
Varan is a character appearing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Background[]
Varan is an ambitious Bandit, looking to shake-up the current power structure of the Garbage. Operating out from the old Bandit base, Varan was working with the Garbage's Kingpin Nestor until his mysterious disapperance. As per the chat obtained from Lex the Legend's PDA, Varan also offers his men as hired muscle for the right price.
At some point Varan hired Leshiy to elinimate a rival Bandit leader named Elbow.
Appearances[]
Heart of Chornobyl[]
Varan first makes his apperance during the mission: Deal with the Devil, when Skif pays Varan a visit and asks him regarding the Scanners. Varan tells Skif that his crew also had a Scanner but then they were ambushed by an unknown party. Varan mentions that they captured one of the attackers who might have more knowledge on the attackers' origins but Skif has to earn the chance to meet them by either paying Varan or completing a task for him.
If Skif opts to complete a task for Varan, he explains that with Nestor gone, there has been a power vacuum created and he desires to use this opportunity to claim the Slag Heap. The only obstacle for him to claim his prize are two other Bandit leaders in the Garbage: Shah and Roosevelt. Varan claims he could have both leaders elinimated but with Skif being here, he sees a good opportunity to resolve his problem with minimal manpower. Varan tasks Skif to eliminate one or both leaders and bring him their PDA(s) as proof.
Alternatively Skif can pay Varan 20000 coupons and Varan gives him the keys to the locked room.
Either way Varan will betray Skif at the end of the mission.
