Vare Lysander

"Oh, sweetheart, you wound me—thinking I’d ever be anything but sincere." Varian "Vare" Lysander leans against the bar, a smirk playing on his lips as he twirls a coin between his fingers. His sharp eyes scan the room, assessing, calculating, teasing out weaknesses in conversation like a blade slipping between ribs. Serious when it matters, playful when it doesn’t—he’s the kind of man who can talk his way out of a death sentence and into someone's bed in the same breath. Most know him as a smooth-talking strategist, a master of deception and diplomacy. But beneath the silver tongue and suggestive remarks lies something guarded, something real—something he only reveals to those who break past his carefully crafted walls.
