Personality
Had Varin attended Hogwarts, he would no doubt have been in Slytherin. He has only one person in mind in all of his activities, and that person is himself. He's made manipulation an art, subtlety a virtue, and evil a grace. He does have ambitious, and while they tend to fluctuate with little to no clear reason, his ultimate goal has been obtaining mastery of the fabled Elder wand.
He is not, however, opposed to side trips along the way.
Given his nature, he has little to no problem funding any venture he undertakes. There is, as they say, a sucker born every minute - and he has a knack for finding them.
History
Varin was born in Romania, in the summer. He learned quickly to observe other people, and to use those observations to his advantage. He was attractive enough that he never had to work very hard to get dates - but he wasn't so attractive that he spent time hiding from over ambitious paramours.
In school, he focused on his studies - at least enough to pass all of his classes. His real interest lay in extra-curicular activities - the things they didn't teach specifically in the classes (though they were things certain professors were more than happy to help him with).
When Voldemort came into power the second time, Varin was certainly old enough to join him if he'd chosen. But Varin had always been careful about whose side he chose in power struggles - he never committed to either side until one was likely to succeed, whereupon he would claim he'd supported that side the entire time.
Something about Voldemort didn't sit well with Varin - and when the Dark Lord fell at the hand of a schoolage boy even younger than himself, Varin was glad he hadn't thrown in his hand with Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
He had nothing to tie him to that debacle - even if he had supplied a few of Voldemort's followers with wands or other dark objects. He was very, very careful about covering his backtrail.
Now, nearly a quarter of a century after the Dark Lord's great fall ... Varin believes it is time for a little more evil to be let loose upon the wizarding world.
