One day, Ogog insults Varyn, saying that whatever his parents did that caused them to be killed had it coming. Ogog regularly comes to Varyn and physically bullies and attacks him. During this time, he is constantly harassed and bullied by the gro-Orums, especially from the family’s son Ogog gro-Orum. Sometimes later, Varyn was forced to be evicted from his home by the Count, causing him to be homeless and beg for money on the street. Varyn came out of the basement and finds both his parents dead. There were loud commotions and fighting before it stopped. Varyn hid in the basement and heard the assassin say that Skaliz sent his regard. His mother told him to hide in the basement and gives him the spider leg, suspecting that the assassin came to retrieve it as well. When Varyn was 8 years old, his family’s peaceful lives come to a tragic end when Skaliz sent a Camonna Tong assassin to track them down. His mother also told him the power of the withered spider leg, that whoever eats it will receive a powerful blessing from Mephala, especially if the family is a descendent of the Cult of Spider. Due to Varyn’s mother’s lineage, they learn more towards to Mephala. For the first few years, they lived a relatively peaceful lives and they had three small shrines of the three good Daedric Prince in dunmer culture: Azura, Mephala, and Boethiah.

His mother also stole Skaliz’ most prized artifact, an ancient, withered spider leg that was passed down to her by her grandmother, who was a member of the Cult of Spider and worshipper of Mephala. The two secretly fell in love and carried on a secret affair before they were discovered by Skaliz. His father was the trusted right-hand man of Skaliz Dren, the kingpin of the Camonna Tong and his mother was Skaliz’ lover at the time. His father and mother moved to Cyrodiil from Morrowind when she was pregnant with him, fleeing from the Camonna Tong. Varyn Drals was born in Cyrodiil in the year 4E 168 in the city of Cheydinhal. If he’s not stinging his enemies with his blade, then they will receive an arrow to their head with deadly precision from the Blind Spider. He uses a special zatoichi that acts as his walking stick and cane sword for combat. His blessing also allows him to gain information on written parchment like letters and books by merely touching the paper/page without reading. Despite his blindness, his blessing from Mephala allows him to have peak human senses and reflexes, allowing him to still maneuver his environment effectively and fight enemies. He is described as unparalleled in his skill with one handed blade, for he can strike in unnatural speed compared to most mortals and that it rivals even the most skilled redguard warriors. Many underestimate this dunmer because of his blindness and the blindfold he wears, only to find that they are tragically mistaken when they find a thin blade stuck in their chest or their prized possessions mysteriously vanished. He is called the Blind Spider or the Ashen Spider, a lethal assassin and a master thief who received a powerful blessing from the Daedric Prince Mephala.
