Didn't like him.

Don't like him. Looks like a schemer to me. But the boss seems to love him, so I keep my mouth shut.

You have your orders to kill him, yes? I pray that you have wisdom to put an end to the cycle of violence. Go and talk to him. Perhaps you can resolve this.

A former lieutenant of serjo Orvas Dren, who took over the Bal Foyen underworld after Dren moved to Vvardenfell. Varano succeeded in destroying the Thieves Guild in Bal Foyen. But he was also smart and wanted to protect himself from the Law -- and from the Guild's retaliation, should they ever return. So, he introduced the code of silence. Only a handful of us ever knew who he was, and most are now dead. Under the guise of Vals the Valet, he leads the Tong from the shadows.

I am sorry, I don't know who you're talking about.

A new truce? So, you did save us! For that you have my thanks. Let us hope that the Camonna Tong will respect the agreement. We certainly will. Here, take this gold as a reward. I am very impressed that you persuaded Vals Varano to surrender and face justice in Fort Ancylis, even though it means you went against Crazy-Legs Arantamo's orders. It's good. We're not murderers. You have accomplished everything here. You should look for jobs elsewhere.

I hope they give him the worst prison cell imaginable.

So, he was the Camonna Tong boss. I hope we can trust this truce of his.

That murderous fiend.

He was the Camonna Tong boss? And you killed him? You followed Crazy-Legs Arantamo's orders. Here is your bonus reward. You should look for jobs elsewhere. You've accomplished everything that was asked of you.

Without a doubt the strangest elf I've ever met. He came here, confessed to a whole bunch of unsolved crimes, and practically walked himself into the cell.

At your service.

The cruel master is dead. Now %Name can finally go free...

Master Varano is in the wine cellar. He told %Name that he is looking for a "suitable vintage". Please, be careful. Varano is a cruel master.

Master Varano serves serjo Vendicci.

Dead? That's dreadful! How will anything get done now?

Uhh, okay... Farewell.

What? Vals? Of course not. How could have I known that? He's just my servant, I don't know his every thought-- by the gods! You don't believe me, do you? You think I *knew* about Vals? He had all those Thieves Guild members killed... You think I'm complicit in his crimes!

I swear, If I had suspected anything, I'd fired him on the spot. You can't hold me complicit in his crimes...

No, he's not with me. Vals and his boys only escorted us for a short while. He said he had some business back at the manor. I'm guessing he's somewhere there. What's this about?

I'm beginning to think he likes to talk too much. Not enough action. Now, Apisphagus Thryx, on the other hand. That man gets things done. And you get things done, too, don't you?

Oh, Vals does everything. Terrific help. He's my accountant, my advisor, my butler... He keeps the household up and running when I'm not here -- which is often! I'm lucky to have found him. He came with the manor, so to speak. Used to work for the previous owner of the place, you see. Good staff is hard to find, you know, it's one of the hardest things in life. I have a good eye when it comes to these things. I immediately saw that Vals was one that knew how to get things done. I had to keep him.
