Varinias the Blasphemous is a powerful rogue Nathrezim who is responsible for the events of The Varinias Heresy and the original leader of the Demonfire Brigade. He is a powerful necromancer and felmancer, who specialized in constructing quick and effective strategies for the Legion during his time of service.
Before the Heresy, he used to be among Archimonde's most trusted councilors and plan-makers. While Varinias had problems with following Archimonde's authority, the Eredar Lord treasured him for his creative ideas and efficiency in the art of war. - He was infamously known as the mastermind behind The Sacking of Manaatar and destruction of countless other words. - Before soon, he and his units reached renowned fame within the Legion, where he eventually ranked among one of the highest.
As mentioned above, Varinias is known nowadays mainly to be a traitor and defector to the Legion, earning himself the title of "Blasphemous" after committing the Varinias Heresy, where most of the Brigade defected and fought against the Legion when it was weakened after and during the events of Outland. During the Heresy, he relied on his blitzkrieg tactics which proved to be ineffective against Tarlaw's more calculated and drawn-out tactics. In the end, his armies were nearly killed off, his weapons melted and his bases burned to cinder. - Under mysterious circumstances, Varinias disappeared only shortly before Tarlaw's units reached his main fort called Blightdome, known to be his seat of power and a grand torture hall. Since that time, he has been escaping the Legion into various ends of the Nether and way beyond, resurfacing only ever so often as to warn the Legion about the coming of his new masters.
