Biography
Vardos au Barca joined Amtgard in late April 2013, after weeks of cajoling and mild insults from his neighbor and classmate. He did not regret it, and kept coming back for more.
Vardos enjoys service to Amtgard, political office, traveling to other parks and kingdoms, and 7 second runs on the battlefield.
Vardos is primarily known as a Barbarian during class games, although he occasionally reeves. Vardos particularly enjoys teaching new players the game, as it gives him a chance to try and get them to play Barbarian. He has an aversion to the Arts and Sciences, but does not mind eating them when offered.
Vardos aspires to make many rocks. He currently owns three.
Hiatus and Return
Vardos found himself burnt out from holding office and trying to hold a park together. Vardos abruptly left Amtgard in early 2017. Vardos occasionally tried Amtgard, but wasn't feeling the magic.

Random Tidbits
Vardos waffled for his first two weeks on which class to play first. At the time, his park had not started play testing Version 8 yet. The Magic of most of the casting classes intimidated him. Some classes didn't fit what Vardos viewed as his play style, others just didn't interest him. Vardos discovered the Amtwiki, found an article called About Barbarians, and fell in love with the class. Vardos is in love with Barbarian even more with the introduction of Version 8, and has achieved over 100 credits in the class. Vardos hates the white sash, though. He hasn't washed his white sash, and plans not to until he is mistaken for a Druid, an Assassin, or a Healer. If there is one thing Vardos wants, it is his Paragon Barbarian.
Vardos destroyed the unholy sash during his hiatus and currently has a new, clean sash.
