Varro

Varro is a member of the Lucian Alliance and served as Kiva's lieutenant.

2009
Varro joined Kiva on their regular trips to Earth to gain information from Colonel David Telford. When Dr. Nicholas Rush was captured by the Alliance while attempting to impersonate Telford. Varro questioned him about what Destiny is like. Rush described it as a "ruskbucket". When asked by Rush what would happen if he couldn't dial Destiny, Varro told Rush that he would be Rush's executioner.

During the invasion of Destiny, Varro was shot in the initial confrontation. Kiva ordered Lt. Tamara Johansen to help him. She managed to remove the bullet and stitch his wound, saving his life. He remained in the infirmary, and attempted to make peace with his rescuer, to no avail. When Kiva and Telford were brought in, having been shot, he asked Dannic what was going on. Dannic ordered the military personnel brought to him; hearing this, one of the military grabbed an Alliance soldier's gun and sprayed the room with machine gun fire. Varro and Koz were unharmed, but TJ was hit. Varro managed to subdue the officer and, with his own pistol, shot him in the chest at close range.

Varro arrived in time to keep Dannic from executing the military personnel. Using the long-range communication device, he had a team of doctors brought in to save Kiva and the other wounded. Though Kiva did not survive, Varro convinced Dannic to send the Destiny expedition through the gate instead of killing them. Later on, when Nicholas Rush threatened to kill everyone on the ship by dropping the shields, Varro tried to suggest negotiation. Dannic, having grown increasingly irrational and paranoid, assumed Varro to be a threat to his leadership. He banished Varro and the men loyal to him to the same planet the expedition had been sent to. On the planet, Varro tried to put aside his differences with Young, but his efforts were in vain. After Ginn killed Dannic and surrendered to Rush, Varro and his men returned to Destiny with the expedition members. They were locked up while Young decided what to do with them.

After the invasion, he and the other captured Alliance members were interviewed by Camile Wray to determine if they could prove useful. He was part of a list created by Wray and Colonel David Telford and was allowed to stay. He and Ginn met with Col. Young to try and find a way for them to gain a mutual trust, only to be denied. He went to TJ to offer his condolences, as she just lost her child. She later provided them with blankets and and supplies as a sign of thanks for the Alliances cooperation, and for his concern for her.

After Simeon killed Ginn and Dr. Amanda Perry, Colonel Young confronted him, suspecting that he could be involved. Varro denied having any involvement but revealed that Simeon and Ginn were of the same clan and that he could have important information regarding the attack on Earth. He also warned Young that he shouldn't underestimate Simeon.

After the incident with Simeon, the Alliance forces were locked up again and Varro appealed to a sympathetic TJ to release them. Needing help in the infirmary during the Drone attack on Destiny, TJ asked for his help which he gave her without hesitation.

When Eli came up with a way to dial Earth, Varro was excited to go there and got annoyed when it took to long and then got called off until everything was explained. When the second Destiny was raided for parts, Varro was part of the team that went over and discovered a dangerous compartment and narrowly avoided injury. The fact that he appeared to be leading the team and several Alliance members were part of it indicates he and his men have gained a greater measure of trust.

Alternate timeline

 * In an alternate timeline, instead of choosing to return to Earth with everyone else, Varro volunteered to remain behind on Destiny as part of the group that were staying to complete the mission. When things got too unstable, he and the rest of the volunteers headed through the Stargate too, but like everyone else except for Colonel David Telford, didn't make it and died in transit.
