 * summary:: Scene opens with Varus in the Institute of war, examining what he has physically become. He is monstrous, with semi-living black-ooze covering him. He reflects that the "arrangement" that made him this way was on the whole not a bad decision.

As part of the League Judgement, the Summoners cause Varus to flashback to the circumstances that made him the monster he is today. It begins with him training his "son" who is actually a Summoner disguised within this memory of his and then telling him about the "Pit of Pallas"(Pallas was a pre-Helenistic cthonic[underground]deity defeated by Athena in ancient Greek mythology) and how he was it's lone guardian.

He remembers his early nights and his temptation, despite all of the charms and wards he has been given, by the entity bound within the pit. Each time he refused to release it, until the Noxians arrived and destroyed the village, murdering his son. At this point he returns to the temple which guards the pit, and releases it's power, being partially devoured by the oily goo that the pit emits, but he gains control of it's power, enabling him to manifest some kind of ectoplasmic bow and fire arrows at his enemies, the Noxians, whom he hunts mercilessly.

This was what led him to the Institute of War, where, following this vision of what brought him there, he is told by a Summoner that destroying the Noxians is not the purpose of the institute, but the story ends with him countering that his only remaining purpose is to destroy the powerful Noxians that are present in the League.
