^{Edit this nav}

Varaan is a "by-the-book" type of Starfleet officer, and prefers to follow established Starfleet protocols whenever possible. He is also partial to working alone or in very small groups, unless such groups are composed primarily of other Vulcans.

Quarters: Standard Starfleet quarters - fairly spartan, but with several strategically placed candles used during meditation; several knick-knacks (momentos) from his life (while on Steadfast-A, it was Deck 8 - room 0912; Paladin, it was Deck 5 - room 1250; Atlantis, it was Deck 3 - room 0310)
Favorite Room: does not have a favourite
Mannerisms: often stands with hands clasped behind his back; will raise his left eyebrow when something he deems interesting has happened or is said
Physical Limitations: lost hearing (see below), uses prosthesis (E.A.R.S.)
Temperment: exceptionally even
Habits: often seen with a PADD in his hands; will go long periods without sleep, then meditate
Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Attempts to follow the Vulcan way of Kolinahr

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.

Relationships

Personal History

Family

Spouse

Marital Status: Married
- Spouse: T'lani (wed 235107.21)
- Place of Marriage: ShirKahr, Vulcan

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).

Siblings

none

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.

"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.

While a member of the USS Paladin, he got very close to Dr. Jennifer Catherine Greene, Jefferson Nariah, and (his "best friend" on board) Torin Jamar.
