Appearance
Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner
A strong and somewhat cruel military man, he remembers Serph and Sera, blaming them for their misdeeds in his past. Varin was the first to awaken to the truth; he remembered to know every member of the Embryon except for Gale. His "Turbulence" Atma gives him the power to transform into Ravana. After Angel's new announcement at the Karma Temple, he confronts her and demands to be taken out of the simulation. Angel, amused, explains to him that even if she wanted, she could not do that - he needed to leave on his own, due to the Colonel's own security policies. However, she did grant him extra power in an effort to empower him to a degree where he could collect Sera himself.
At the time he ordered an assault on the Deserted Ship in an effort to capture Sera, he was aware of his identity as Terrence Beck, and insisted on being addressed as "Colonel", rather than the Junkyard name of Varin Omega. With the Hunger Wave ability, he effortlessly destroyed, single-handedly, the entire tribe of the Wolves. He then retreated to the relative safety of his Ajna stronghold, and waited for the Embryon to arrive.
When confronted in Ajna, he and several other Brutes had already worked out their full memories. When confronted, though, his bloodlust got the better of him and forced him into a brutal confrontation. Shifting into both of Ravana's combat forms, he attempted to use the deadly Hunger Wave skill again, though he failed, as Sera, whose song held the ability to calm down frenzied demons, was present.
When defeated, he managed to say some of what he knew of the Junkyard (how all of the people in there were actually dead, how nothing of it was real, etc.) before he died amidst horrific pain.

Varin Omega was Terrence E. Beck. A colonel in the military, he was the man who came up with the Junkyard/Asura Project after witnessing Sera's virtual playground. His intent was to develop the ultimate combat AIs and then download them into microchips to be implanted into soldiers. In this capacity, he knew Heat O'Brien as the scientist who claimed this was impossible and insisted Sera's stability was already at her limits, and Serph Sheffield as the project overseer who believed this could be done without harming Sera.
Colonel Beck also requested the Junkyard Simulation be sealed, for security reasons. He walked in just after O'Brien's death, and witnessed Sera cause the data surge that turned the sun black. He is devoured by the demonic Serph as he awakens as True Varuna, and his data is sent to the Junkyard where it inhabits the body of the Varin Omega AI, the leader of the Brutes.
