Varien Stelisk

Varien Stelisk is a male human who was a programmer on the Aurora. He was the sole survivor of the crash after escaping the Aurora in Lifepod 5. After crashing in the Safe Shallows on planet 4546B, he begins to eke out a living.

Parents
Little is known about Varien's parents, though it is implied that they do not get along well, as Varien does think about 'his parents not thinking highly of him'.

Silvia Berkely
Silvia was to be Varien's fiance. They were very close and Varien mentions that he would 'probably be able to survive' if he was alone on the planet with Silvia after she expressed that she would hate to be stuck on a planet with only a few people, talking about the Degasi survivors.
