Varen

Varen was the leader of the Riders of Nesmé until 1484 DR.

History
Varen had been the Riders' leader from around 1464 DR and was a powerful warrior.

Just after the start of the War of the Silver Marches, the young idealist Selinus accused Varen of managing a ring of horse thieves that stole Riders' horses, despite Selinus having no clear proof. This caused a schism among the Riders, but the accusation was true.

Personality
Varen was an able leader. However, the promise of wealth had twisted his mind and he agreed to join the horse thieves. He wanted to atone his sins but did not want to lose his reputation among his fellows.
