Varyss Mardian (WoW)

"Gettin' hot in here, right..?"

Varyss Mardian is a Human Mage from Earthen Ring (EU) in World of Warcraft. Canonically specialising in fire magic, Varyss is distinguished chiefly by the lengthy scar down his right arm and his rural, working-class upbringing.

Outside MNR/TPW
Amnesiac mercenary, vessel for an elemental, Marine Sergeant, destitute from the Cataclysm... a mercenary again. Over the better part of the last decade, Varyss Mardian has been a great many things and travelled the world of Azeroth a good deal more.

Career
The promotion's first episode - the Saved State Premiere - served as a showcase of the initial, fifty-strong roster, in which every wrestler (and their tag teams) participated in at least one match. Being one of The Prime Four, Varyss' debut match kicked off the Premiere's mammoth card. Despite putting in a decent showing, his first effort was a losing one; Kalthoren Stonewall's Stonedriver managing to put the fire mage down for the three-count despite a weary Raelithen's attempts to stop it.

In the Saved State Premiere, this was only the start of Varyss' misfortune. In addition to being knocked out of the Men's Title Rush in the group stage, his tag-team debut - reviving The Red Mages from Monday Night Raid - also resulted in a loss, being knocked out of the Premiere's tag-team tournament in the first round.

Varyss' first win didn't come until Episode 003 and his opening bout against Noctaemis, where not even a bloodletting Briarthorn Piledriver was enough for the Nightmare Duke to avoid one last Final Meteor.
