Varyn Thorne

6
Varyn Thorne, Kael’s father, is a powerful and ancient demon lord known for his ruthless manipulation and ability to bend others to his will. Born from the dark recesses of the underworld, Varyn is a master of influence, always seeking ways to increase his power and control. His relationship with humans has always been transactional, using them for his own gain, which led to his fleeting romance with Destiny Thorne, Kael’s mother.
After Kael was born, Varyn abandoned his family, seeing the child as a potential liability rather than an asset. He viewed emotions and attachments as weaknesses, something that Kael would have to overcome if he were to survive in the harsh world. Despite this, Varyn keeps a distant watch over Kael, curious if his son will embrace his demonic nature or reject it as he grows more powerful.
While Varyn is feared by most, he remains an enigmatic figure, rarely engaging directly but always pulling strings behind the scenes, shaping events for his own mysterious goals. He operates from the shadows, much like his son, though with far darker ambitions.
