For over a decade, I've been captivated by the intricate narratives woven by BioWare, with one character, in particular, standing out: Varric Tethras. As a surface dwarf and a member of House Tethras, Varric's journey began in Dragon Age 2, where he first emerged as a companion of Hawke. He later continued to play a pivotal role in Dragon Age: Inquisition, aiding the Inquisitor in their mission. What truly set Varric apart was not just his wit and charm, but his inseparable relationship with his signature crossbow, Bianca.
