Ambitions and Goals
Being a Vulcan, Varaan has no "ambitions" or goals beyond successfully completing his Starfleet career. He has no ego, so "ambitions" are beyond him.
Personal Achievements and Disappointments
Varaan's greatest personal achievement, he would tell you, would be the conception and successful birth of his daughter, T'iana. Being Vulcan, he has no disappointments.

"Friendships"
After being alone for so long as a deep cover operative within the Par'tha Expanse, Varaan's return to "normal society" and the Starfleet "mainstream" has revealed that all of his old acquaintances and shipmates from the past have moved on in one way or another...except one. Commander Marcus Dickens, who was a fresh faced Ensign when Atlantis originally launched in 2382, had returned to Atlantis upon the relaunch in 2391. While calling their relationship a "friendship" might be pushing it, Dickens is the closest thing to a friend that Varaan has currently.
Family
Spouse
T'lani is a graduate of the Vulcan Science Academy, and a scientist currently involved in the space sciences (astrophysics, cosmology, astronomy, etc). She works with Varaan's father on the Vulcan Science Council. She is a beautiful woman (even Vulcans can appreciate asthetics), and very intelligent. Their union had been arranged when they were children, but they truly love each other (as close to love as Vulcans get).
Children
T'iana (dob: 238107.09) - currently the only child of Varaan and T'lani, T'iana was conceived when T'lani came to visit Varaan during a period of shore-leave for the USS Paladin. Their daughter was born while Varaan was on mission, and so he missed being there. He had never met his daughter until he returned to Vulcan before taking command of the USS Atlantis.
Parents
Mother: T'mol - liaison between the alien ambassadors from sectors 001 through 100 to the Vulcan government.
Father: Solath, son of Myrek - revered Astrophysicist on Vulcan, and a board member of the Vulcan Science Academy.
Siblings
none
