Varian Ilithis is a human slaver operating out of Kirkwall.

Fenris: friendship (+10)
Aveline: rivalry (+5)
- Use a throwing knife, killing Varian and making the ensuing battle much easier (only available if Hawke is a rogue).

in the process.
- Varric: friendship (+5)
- Fenris: friendship (+10) (if chosen to kill the slaver after Varric's intervention, forfeiting the gold)
