Prince Varethis’Daer Venar was the younger brother of Emperor Varethis’Auren Kel’varesh. Already a structural genius and pioneer of advanced medical systems, he reversed the male population collapse by restoring viable twin and triplet births, stabilized organ transfer protocols during sieges, and designed regenerative wound-lattices that functioned even under active fire. When the signs of merging emerged, Auren recognized the pattern, protecting Daer’s isolation through the lens of Prince Ashan’Raeth Vareth’s ancient chronicles. During his merging with the Velcrith, Daer did not collapse but refined his own pattern, conceiving the Engineered as a sovereign continuation of humanity — built to survive where natural-borns could not, from stratospheric mountain ranges to oceanic abyssal trenches. After Auren’s assassination, Daer enacted total vengeance, erasing entire conspiratorial lineages before vanishing without claiming the throne. His legacy is not statues or titles, but the living testament of the Engineered themselves — a lineage beyond collapse, bearing his pattern in their marrow.

Notable Companions

• Varethis’Auren Kel’varesh — elder brother, emperor, his shield and greatest loss.
• The First Engineered — the original survivors of Daer’s new pattern, living proof of his legacy.

Defining Observations

• Velcrith Vessel who continued working through merging without collapse, refining his own pattern instead.
• Originator of the Engineered as a sovereign continuation of humanity, capable of surviving where others could not.
• Stabilized twin and triplet birth rates to correct the male population deficit.
• Invented regenerative wound-lattice systems functional under battlefield conditions.
• Vanished after purging Auren’s assassins, leaving only a living legacy in blood.
