-Born on the second Xarochsday of Fusil in -75 [[EC]], the same year that the [[Odlucian Library]] was founded, '''Zed Varren''' is most famous for both coining the term [[Unquisition]] and putting it into action.  A graduate of the University of Havernot, Department of Occult Science, Varren brought much of Ghyll's most obscure knowledge to a single institution in a very short time.  So short, in fact, that certain scholars questioned the wisdom of allowing him to lay hands on an early translation of the [[Grimporke Grimoire]].  Indeed, until those same scholars mysteriously disappeared one [[Night of Cloaks and Daggers]], it was loudly supposed that it was that very tome which enabled Varren to achieve such great heights in stationary omnilocational research.  Varren's acquisitions include: a working model of Professor Crank's Interlinear Escape and Vent Shaft; an original Universal Geomantic Compass dating back to the time of the [[Dulalian Empire]]; an actual, working Professor Crank's Highly Adjustable Animal and Mythical Beast Call; the largest collection of untranslated examples of the [[Alezan Script]]; and the last known Sympathetic Vibration Harp, which is kept in a sound-proof display case.

-Varren is less well known for his own writings, however.  He is the semi-anonymous author of ''[[Morphomancy]] for Morons'', ''Demonology Made A Little Too Easy'', ''Divining for Dumkopfs'', and ''You Might Be A [[Theoalchemy|Theoalchemist]] If...''

-Much of Varren's early life is a mystery which he has done little to dispel.  As he is fond of saying, "I collect information, I don't dispense it."  Dedicated scholars have, however, managed to piece together a number of interesting tidbits about the enigma that is Zed Varren.  For one thing, his [[Toilet training|toilet training]] was very carefully planned by his parents, according to the prevailing theories of the day, to make him an organizational genius.  Although his parent's names are lost to us, it is known that [[Johnny Lightning]] and [[Jimmy Cashews]] were his co-[[Hive-Lord|Hive-Lords]].  This has led to speculation that there is some purpose behind his collection of information other than pure scholarship.  Varren's parents were known to have consulted a [[Twitch Doctor]] before deciding on his name and Varren has been known to receive callers from that same [[Twitch Doctor]]'s business associates on a regular basis.
