Editing Spring of Hubris Varius History (section)

=== Apprenticeship (12-26) ===

Not long before his 11th birthday a Verditius maga named Clara, looking for Gifted apprentices from craftsmen's households, recognized Bertran's talents and took him away. Bertran took to magic with if anything greater ease than smithing, and blossomed under Clara's tutelage. In true Verditius Fashion, she made sure that he also improved his crafting skills, and spent time teaching him to craft with magic as well as hands. After his Gauntlet, he took the name Varius, meaning "versatile".

Clara is a highly skilled Verditius, and a devout member of the Cult of Vulcan. Like many older Verditius that are deeply advanced in the Mysteries of the House, she is incredibly arrogant, regards those around her as of less worth than herself, and is engaged in a long-running pointless feud with a Verditius magus from the Iberian Tribunal. Varius greatly respects her skills, but regards her also as an example of what not to become.
