Pertinax Varro keeps to no faction and works The Yard as a Cane Corso who is thoughtful, slow to speak, and absolutely the last word in any room. Pertinax Varro treats a circuit board carved into a toy boat like a small relative with strong opinions, which is to say, very seriously. Bakers slip Pertinax Varro the fresher biscuits near the flooded market halls and pretend they did not. The old soup stalls have heard most of Pertinax Varro's theories and politely keep them to themselves.
