Background:

Vareese was born on Oriflamme on 06/IX/1160. He attended the Nemyer Refounded University (NRU) right out of secondary school, focusing on administrative skills. He then attended law school but didn't take the bar, hoping instead to secure a lucrative spot in a corporation. Vareese managed to land a position with Waldmann Trust, but proved to be a poor money maker. He became quickly disillusioned with the boring life that his job in the feudal structure provided him, and decided to move on to the Technarch Council, using family influence. He proved to be a charismatic leader and rose quickly in the Technarch Council. When the call came out for representatives to the new Dawn League, he saw this as a way to further his career and serve the cause of promoting his form of government in the new interstellar government. He was easily appointed and stayed on through the change to the Reformation Coalition. Since then, he has viewed what he calls a "softening" of some of the F-tech representatives in the Assembly, and believes they no longer seek what is best for the RC, which is technology controlled by those of proper position and nobility. Recently, he has come to head the small, but vocal minority of Assemblymen who feel that feudal holdings should not be divided up ever amongst employees and that the technarch-class must be preserved at all costs.

Appearance:

Vareese Kerby is a man of fairly average build and height. He is ever so slightly out of shape, do more to age than lack of activity. He has black hair and brown eyes, which are set somewhat close together, and his nose is thin and not very pronounced. Vareese has a mild overbite, but this doesn't show unless observed very closely. His speech tends to be a little on the quiet side. His demeanor is a little stiff and one does not feel immediately at ease around him. He walks with an air of superiority, bred into him as a member of a strong technarch family.

Personality:

Vareese is typical of Oriflammen upper class in that he's very self-assured and confident of his own superiority. His attitude is a bit uppity, but not so much as to be overbearing. He is friendly and polite when the situation is called for but can be cold and not very attentive if his mind is on something else. Vareese shows a certain discomfort when forced to deal with those he considers beneath him, specifically, economically or socially beneath him. Amongst his peers, he can be quite animated and cheerful, though and can hold a conversation on just about any topic. On matters that concern him, he is dedicated and thoughtful. In these situations, he gives those involved his undivided attention and will do all in his power to see that a solution is found to their problem. Outside of those things important to him, he is not very responsive, however.
