Varna was a Kaled who lived in the era immediately prior to the Thousand Year War, when war seemed inevitable.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Varna lived in the time just before the Thousand Year War. When Ace ineptly using an omega device to time lock Skaro, she wound fracturing the planet's timeline, (AUDIO: The Lights of Skaro) Varna being one of the many mismatched travellers who made up Bernice Summerfield's group. After the group flashed through several epochs of Skaro's history, a fully populated planet, a ghost planet and an empty hidden away planet, they witnessed the detonation of the neutron bomb that ended the Thousand Year War before the area around them restructed into the Dalek City. (AUDIO: Random Ghosts)

Unaware of the true nature of the Daleks, Varna blissfully accompanied Vince Foster in his quest to claim one. Upon arriving in the Master Room, Varna, mistaking the Daleks for Thal robots, helped restore power to one. When Bernice stumbled upon them, she tried to deter them, even showing a disgusted Varna the true form of the Dalek mutant and explaining that the Daleks were neither Thal creations or the future of the Thals. After the Dalek fully reactivated and exterminated Foster it identified Varna as a Kaled. Varna assumed that it wanted orders from her, finally insulting it enough that it exterminated her, Varna dying as she finally understood that the Daleks were the descendants of the Kaleds. (AUDIO: The Lights of Skaro)

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Having grown up just prior to the Thousand Year War, Varna was raised by Kaled propaganda, believing her race to be of moral perfection, taking pride in being a prime specimen of her race and thinking the Thals to be evil and responsible for any wrongdoings. She was a student of engineering, being able to understand the basic principles of a Dalek War Machine, technology a thousand years after her time, within seconds of seeing one.

Ignorant of the Daleks, she displayed a naïve attitude in the Dalek City; dismissing them as non-threatening robots. She frequently spoke to the one she reactivated in a condescending tone, unwittingly angering it enough to push it to exterminate her. When she saw the mutant within the Dalek casing, she saw her people's future and realised how wrong she was with horror. (AUDIO: The Lights of Skaro)
