That would explain how he nows som much about Hawke, I guess he has contacts with surface dwarfs all over Thedas.
But still, how will Hawke and Varric meet? Does Varric need something from Hawke? Maybe it is Flemeths 'package'! Or do they meet by accident?

Hawke comes to Kirkwall and starts stirring things up. Hawke would be an unknown element, so a meeting to see what he/she is about would be in order.

Mary does mention that the Merchants Guild in Kirkwall has some shady dealings:

'Varric has... well, he wouldn't call them minions. He'd say "contacts." or "People." He's the younger son in the Tethras family: His older brother is the head of the family and runs what could be called a small financial empire. They don't have a shop. They invest in shops. Officially, Varric is an idle younger brother in a wealthy household who spends most of his time hanging out in taverns telling wild stories while other people buy him drinks. Unofficially, he maintains a spy network with contacts throughout all levels of the city so he can quietly deal with the assassination attemps, scandals, and campaigns of industrial espionage that come along with being a family in the Dwarven Merchants Guild.'

So maybe Hawkes attracts his attention by doing something stupid to the Dwarven Merchant Guild?

Maybe Varric finds Hawke good for business? They wanna support his cause and when they win the war (or whatever it is) they get to be big business men and rule even a bigger market.

[Bobad]

As someone with "contacts", he may be a good way for the Apostate Bethany (and Hawke if a Mage) to operate within Kirkwall with it's heavy Templar presence.

Now to get on topic:

I'm envisioning Hawke meeting Varric after a bar fight. What caused the bar fight? I don't know.

[Russalka]

Can no one else hear the Aarin Gend theme? It has haunted me all this time from this talk of spies and networks and their carnal relationship.

Varric hasn't struck me as a shady character yet. His portfolio and domains don't even give rogue stuff!

But I guess he is truly good at it, if he has shown a more amiable demeanor and hidden his agenda!

(Exterior: beach just outside of Kirkwall)

Hawke (to party): Well, there it is. It took us a while, but we're finally at Kirkwall

(Music cue:)

Bethany: What is that sound?

Momma Hawke: Look up there

(screen pans to view of Varric leading a group of dwarves on flying nugs. Varric and flying nug swoops - yes, SWOOPS - down and lands in front of the party)

Varric: I love the smell of nugs in the morning!  It smells like....Kirkwall.

i see hawke and bethany fighting some templars who tried to be too frisky and hit on bethany while varric watches from the comfort of his seat. when one of the templars tries to backstab hawke, varric throws a knife to the templar's head, saying:

not bad kids, not bad at all...although you might want to be more aware of your surroundings next time. out here, you either learn to watch over your own back or you won't live to see the next day, but enough about that! how about i treat you two for a drink, you don't seem from around here and i'm always up for an interesting story *smirks.

I dunno I imagine them coming to Kirkwall being something along these lines

Unless it saves your life. Alistair had a habit of putting the idea of Morrigan's mother swooping down on the tower of Ishal to save his freaking life out of his mind. Granted, the 'swooping is bad' line came before that happened, so.... who knows, maybe he had a different opinion afterwards?

[lv12medic]

Why did I all of a sudden get a mental image of Varric and a bunch of Dwarves flying on nugs in the air with their ears spinning and making helicopter WHOP-WHOP-WHOP noises as Flight of the Valkyries was blaring away?

Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using drunk elven contacts and switched to Varric's contacts, he could trade like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in Kirkwall with the man your man could trade like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s a chalice with the wine that you love. Look again, the chalice is now lyrium. Anything is possible when your man uses info from Varric's contacts and not an elf. I’m on a nug.

 This,this here,is epic. And is now my sig.

On the topic of Varric, I think that he probably knows Hawke Senior and could perhaps be in a "business relationship" with him.



Also, I wonder what Varric's older brother looks like... Huh, when I try to imagine him he's always atop a nug. How peculiar...

[Dave of Canada]

So, update on "Super Varric World". I've worked on a 16-bit rendition of Varric (looks horrible, fyi) and edited the sprite for the Bomb-ombs to just be Nugs. Sad part is? I'm already dreading this project and want to give it up, I forgot how long it takes to make a romhack. DA2 would probably be out before I have any decent length in the game.

GET IT?



Anyway, could one of the über talented artists of Varric's splendor perhaps illustrate what they believe his brother looks like? Pleeease?

Congratulations. Now my mind is stuck on the idea of Varric being voiced by Brian Blessed.

Varric: Hawke's alive!

Stand by, Hawke!

my guess on how hawke and varric meet:



i see hawke and bethany fighting some templars who tried to be too frisky and hit on bethany while varric watches from the comfort of his seat. when one of the templars tries to backstab hawke, varric throws a knife to the templar's head, saying:
