# Varros
Charismatic but Psychopathic Clan - Terrorizes their Valley - Ties to [[Hidden-Hand]] - Noblemen Jastion is Heir to Clan to [[Neretzes]]
Tier 5
> [[Apys]] [[Varros]] was one of the most notoriously debauched, unscrupulous, and wealthy members of the old [[Imperial]] [[Senate]]. But he made an early alliance with [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]], in whom he recognized a rising star. [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] provided the fame, [[Apys]] provided the money. And even if the populist general ever puts one of his land redistribution schemes into practice, few doubt that [[Apys]] would find a way to emerge even richer than before.
# Dialogue
[[Apys]] [[Varros]] on himself
> "I am a rich man. I invest my money, and then I do whatever is necessary to make sure that money turns a profit. Does that answer your question?"
[[Apys]] [[Varros]] on [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]] [[Osticos]] and the [[Senate]]
> "Ah, yes - a man who hands out huge gifts to his backers to their support in the [[Senate]], and yet prosecutes better men then him on charges of corruption. I asked him about this, and he said, 'While giving gifts is an ancient and hallowed tradition, selling judgements as a magistrate rocks the very foundations of our Empire.' Did you ever hear such hypocrisy?"
[[Apys]] [[Varros]] on [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]], [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]], and [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]]
> "Well, of course what I want to is to serve the people. [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]] is a vile little hypocrite and [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]] a puffed-up foreign usurpress, so of course I would back [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]]."
## Others on [[Apys]]
[[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]] [[Osticos]] on the [[Senate]] and [[Apys]] [[Varros]]
> "Men such as him, who have no regard for the majesty of [[Imperial]] law, are a disgrace upon the [[Senate]]. Years ago, when he was a magistrate, he let it be known that whoever paid him the highest bribe should win any judgement that came before him. When I learned of this, I filed a prosecution against him, and won it, banning him from further office for a period of several years. In my opinion, he should have been hanged."
