Var

Var is a man from the Town-on-Gorkhon. He buys organs and blood from the player character in exchange for money and medical supplies.

Bachelor Route
Var is present in the Bachelor's route as early as Day 5, where he is the target of Anna Angel's blackmailing. He requests that Bachelor assist him in finding his daughter, who is a dancer in the Stamatin's pub. It is revealed by his daughter that Var once worked in the Ace of Diamonds Caravan, where they had kidnapped her from her real father, and killed him. Though Var claims to love her dearly, she is rightfully furious. Bachelor manages to arrange their meeting, and Var pays him a high sum of money.

However, it is discovered the girl that Bachelor found was also the target of a murder by Haruspex, who killed her after Bachelor requested he extract a heart from a victim of the Plague. From Day 6 onward, Var controls a team of arsonists who are dedicated to causing havoc in infected districts. The Bachelor has the opportunity to murder him when he plans an assault on the Termitary, but his supporters will continue their rampage through town for the rest of the game.

Haruspex Route
Var is present in the Haruspex's route starting from Day 1. He is needed to draw blood from Haruspex to help save a man at the Cemetery. The Haruspex can trade organs with him in exchange for healing items.

Var will no longer appear after Day 5 due to the death of his daughter.

Changeling Route
Var does not appear in the Changeling route.

- The Haruspex's map hover

Var is first met by Haruspex after he extracts a Lockpick from one of Bad Grief's thugs. When Haruspex leaves the warehouse, Var stops him to tell him he used to work with his father regarding organ trading. He lets Haruspex know that he is open to doing business with him, but he must prove his worth by growing into his name as a menkhu. After the Haruspex inherits his father's legacy, Var will begin trading with him.

On Day 5, Sticky tells the Haruspex that he was approached by a man in the Bridge Square about smuggling and hiding bodies. This man is the same one that operates the store front Var lives in - should the Haruspex report the man to Victor Kain, the store will be emptied and closed permanently, though Var is still in the back room. He will berate the Haruspex for snitching, but otherwise seems disinterested in his former acquaintance.

The Marble Nest
"Var was taken to a talk with Captain Longin soon after the Army arrived."

When hovering over his shop on the map page, Bachelor notes that Var hasn't been seen since the Army arrived. His shop location is the source of where Cookaroo will offer to help the Bachelor smuggle medicine and items out of the shop from a second floor window, without the stationary guard noticing. In Var's shop, the Bachelor will find Haruspex's Panacea, but attempting to smuggle the panacea out will result in its bottle being destroyed in the fall.
