Varaug is such an afterthought of a character/boss fight that it's kind of amazing. He literally exists just to menace the main characters a little and give them something to swing their swords at, all while spouting some of the most stupid, cliched dialogue in the whole damn series.

I am going to get some use out of him, though, because he helps to build Consequence canon on how Shades work... and I am going to have fun with that.
