With every new update, the world of Genshin Impact increases in scale, and there has been a great deal of anticipation regarding Varka, the Grand Master. Sprinkled between lore and events and official trailers, Varka's reputation proceeds ahead of him. Here is all that is currently known about this immense figure from Mondstadt, from story involvement to potential weapon and release window.
The Legend of Varka: The Grand Master of Mondstadt
Varka is not just another NPC mentioned once in lore-the Grand Master and Knight bores of the Knights of Favonius. While Varka happens to be a Knight of the highest cadre and the Grand Master of the order, he has perhaps never stepped foot in-game. Varka had left Mondstadt on a great expedition approximately half a year before the current timeline; hence Jean has been given the title of Acting Grand Master, taking care of the affairs of the city.
Not much is known about his exact objective, but recent developments give us some clues about one possibility that Varka is presently in Nod-Krai, a mysterious yet-to-be-released region, following the leads concerning Durin and the Hexenzirkel. Varka is said to lead with courage but unorthodoxly, one who earns loyalty not by title but by action.
Appearance and Personality: A Fearsome LeaderAccording to Razor’s character stories and in-game references, Varka is extremely tall, with messy blonde hair and blue eyes. Two particular factors that make him unmistakable are his facial scars, one extremely conspicuous mark on his neck and another on the right side of his face. His character dress exudes the very essence of status and much battlefield experience: a black and teal coat lined with white fur, a black breastplate bearing the Favonius crest, and an Anemo Vision which is attached visibly to his coat. Varka, in all of his aura, looks regal but also battle worn, befitting his stature.
Varka is also fondly remembered by Razor, implying some kindness behind his stern exterior. Several characters have been deeply affected by his mentorship, which means that he is more than a mere warrior - he is a figure who inspires others in Mondstadt.
Weapon and Element: Wind and Steel
The Moonlit Ballad of the Night teaser gave some pretty big clues about how Varka fights. Shown with the iconic Wolf’s Gravestone hints strongly that he will be a Claymore user. His Anemo Vision, which can be seen attached to his coat in the teaser, confirms his element as Anemo; theoretically, he can be the very first Anemo Claymore in the game.
Where is Varka Now?Nowadays, Varka's whereabouts are supposed to be in Nod-Krai, an enigmatic location that is expected to be introduced in Version 6.0 or higher. Increasingly, the lore hints that he was involved in organizing a Tripartite Conference with Hexenzirkel, a powerful witch circle associated with characters such as Alice and Mona. Since Durin's proxies are now repulsed, with more risk coming onto play-ups, the expedition of Varka is becoming more than just a mere scouting one, this might really be the turning point in the core narrative.
Anticipated Release
There is no official release date as of now, but there are rumors all over of him being playable from Version 6.0 onwards, maybe even being tied to Nod-Krai becoming available and other important characters from lore. Because of his tremendous presence and unique potential for kits and narrative value, Varka will easily be one of the most impactful entries in Genshin Impact.
Varka is more than a name mentioned on the walls in the background; he is a symbol of leadership, lore, and an air of mystery shrouding Mondstadt's past and future. As HoYoverse opens new chapters, his arrival is bound to cause a stir, not only in terms of characters but in the very foundation.
