Powers
Varnae possesses far greater power than most vampires. He has superhuman strength, speed stamina, agility and reflexes. He is also immune to aging, conventional deceases and most forms of injury. He ignores most assaults and regenerates damaged tissue rapidly; however, he must drink blood regularly to survive, and is vulnerable to silver, garlic, sunlight, a wooden stake through the heart, and of religious symbols of the pre-Cataclysmic Atlantis era.
