Interesting to note, Varus' manner of speech, as well as some of his quotes ("I am Forsaken" and "Pain is my gift to you") are reminiscent of the race known as the Forsaken in World of Warcraft. He shares similarities with them in that both are deformed races touched by dark magics, and the elite force of the Forsaken, the Dark Rangers, make heavy use of shadow magic for archery just as Varus does, as well as heavy use of Blight. It's possible that some of Varus' abilities, or at least his speech and actions, may have been in part inspired by this race of undead.
