== Appearance and Personality ==
Govenor Varlance is a military man who wears a cravat and regularly applies ghostly white powder to his face, as is the fashion as of the year {{date|346|fa}}{{book ref|mb7|2}}{{expand}}. He is comes across to some as a haughty individual who often is preoccupied with his war medals and is viewed by some as being a pushover.{{book ref|mb7|31}} For parts of his term as Govenor of Elendel, he leans heavily on his Vice Govenor [[Adawathwyn]], and others. He initially appears to be somewhat uninformed of what the committees and his own authority are capable of.{{book ref|mb7|31}} However; he soon becomes quite decisive in delegating tasks and responsibilities to those who are capable, as shown when he fires [[Adawathwyn]] from the position of Vice Governor, and makes [[Steris]] the city's Disaster Preparation Officer.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|2}}

== History ==
=== Early Life ===

=== As Governor of Elendel ===
During his term as Governor, Varlance spends the majority of his time focusing on publicity, park re-dedications and sitting in on Senate meetings. He was comfortable allowing [[Adawathwyn]] be the primary voice of his office.
