The Varia is the Vongola Family's elite, independent assassination team. They are composed of genius assassins who work in the deepest recesses of the Mafia. Each member takes on missions that are said to be impossible to accomplish by humans, however, they do not accept a mission unless they believe there is a 90% chance of success. Those that see them work often say that their high level assassination skills are demonic.
Despite lacking loyalty and respect for other members, they are extremely loyal to their leader, Xanxus. The Varia also appear to have more than fifty subordinates ranged under the command of the main members. The Varia is apparently reclusive, only showing themselves after Iemitsu Sawada disappeared. During the Future Arc, a 32 member Varia squad led by Xanxus attack a Millefiore base in Italy in accordance with the Vongola's plan to eliminate the Millefiore.
They also each match one of the Seven Deadly Sins, their latin names, or the respective demons of the sins, excluding Fran, as shown below:
- Lucifer: Pride: Superbia: Superbia Squalo
- Marmon: Greed; Avaritia: Mammon
- Asmodeus: Lust: Luxuria: Lussuria
- Leviathan: Envy: Invidia: Leviathan
- Beelzebub: Gluttony: Gula or Gullia: Gola Mosca
- Satan/Amon/Azzarox: Wrath: Ira: Xanxus + Flame of Wrath
- Belphegor: Sloth: Acedia: Belphegor
Members of Varia
Xanxus
Xanxus is the current leader of the Varia and Vongola IX's adopted son. He was born into poverty with just his mother, who was mentally ill. His mother discovered his Dying Will Flame when he was very young and brought him to Vongola IX. When she and Xanxus confronted the 9th, he took Xanxus and placed his scarf around him agreeing that he was indeed his son even though he had never seen this woman before, nor her son. During the Varia Arc, he and Tsuna battle for the Sky Vongola Ring and the position of the 10th Vongola Boss. Later in the Future Arc, he remains the leader of the Varia and leads a raid against the Millefiore, taking their headquarters. He battles against one of the Fake Funeral Wreaths as well, showing he has grown much stronger in the future. His Box Weapon is Ligre Tempesta Di Cielo.
Superbi Squalo
Superbi Squalo is an assassin and the second-in-command of the Varia, the Vongola Family's independent assassin squad. He is most notable for his long silver hair, and is always seen wearing his Varia uniform in both the anime and the manga. He is a very loud character, and has a tendency to shout "VOOOI!!!" (the Italian version of the plural "You") before saying something or while in battle. Squalo, as revealed in the Rain Ring Battle against Yamamoto Takeshi, cut off his left hand and replaced it with a mechanized sword. His reason for doing that was so he could better understand how the previous Sword Emperor, Tyr, (also the previous boss of the Varia) felt and battled, since he did not have a left hand either. Squalo also seems to be quite perceptive, seeing right through Genkishi's Mist Illusions when the man tried to fake a loss. His Box Weapon is Grande Squalo Pioggi.
Lussuria
Lussuria wears an open Varia trench coat and has brown hair with a side part of green hair. He has an extremely muscular build, and his favored battle style is Muay Thai. Lussuria has a metal plate over his left knee used to block physical attacks and cause his opponents to heavily damage themselves. He habitually wears dark sunglasses and his coat has a large orange fur around the hood. In the Future Arc, Lussuria's appearance has changed, he wears the new Varia uniform and has a red Mohawk and wears a Varia ring on his hand, It is not known whether or not Lussuria has difficulty in his eyesight since he states "I can't see" when his glasses are removed. His Box Weapon is Pavone Del Sereno.
Leviathan
Leviathan is known as 'Levi' for short, is an extremely loyal subordinate to Xanxus, so much that he only ever fights for his approval. Reborn said that once he chooses a target, whether it be a man, woman or child, he would beat them mercilessly. He is also extremely zealous, showing up extremely (2 hours) early to fights. It is said that his speed in accomplishing his work is the best in the Varia. His Box Weapon is Torpedine Fulmine.
Belphegor
Belphegor is an assassin working for the Vongola's independent assassination squad, the Varia. He is known as 'Prince the Ripper' (Purinzu za Rippa). At age 8, he stabbed his elder identical twin brother, Rasiel, presumably to death. He was the storm half-ring bearer of the Varia during the Vongola Ring conflict. He represents the sin of sloth and is prince of an unknown country. He is known as a battle genius, but his abilities only truly present themselves when he sees his own "royal" blood, which reminds him of the time he stabbed his brother. His eyes are never shown in the manga, But at Reborn volume 24, Lussuria says that his eyes are both cool and loyal. His Box Weapon is Visone Tempesta.
Mammon
Viper is the holder of the Indigo pacifier. He is a member of the elite assassination team, the Varia, under the name Mammon. Known as the Arcobaleno's best spellcaster, Viper has the ability to cast illusions, as well as being able to locate any person by sneezing into a piece of paper (he carries a roll of paper with him); the spit or mucus that sticks to the paper shows a map leading to the desired person. He also has a black frog named Fantasma that lies on top of his head. By turning into a yellow ouroboros (a snake, devouring it's own tail and also an alchemist's symbol), which forms into a "halo" above him, Fantasma can give Mammon the ability to fly in combat. He claims to have been trying to break the Arcobaleno curse, and had sealed his pacifier so that other Arcobaleno cannot sense him with the Mammon Chain, which also seals the power of rings and boxes and such. The chain is replaced, at least by the Vongolas, by the cap that conceals the rings powers the same way as the chains.
Gola Mosca
Gola Mosca is a killing machine that was sold to the Varia by the Italian underground economy. Mosca was originally a weapon built by the Italian military, but construction on the project was halted and covered up until the Vongola began working on it themselves.The military stopped developing the Mosca weapon because it required a human life force that could use a strong Dying Will Flame for its own power. Xanxus placed Vongola IX within Gola Mosca to act as the machine's power source, then gave Gola Mosca the position as the Varia's Cloud Guardian. During the Cloud Guardian Battle in the Vongola Tournament, Gola Mosca is immediately ripped apart by Hibari. However, when Hibari is provoked and fails to allow Xanxus to manually turn Gola Mosca off, the machine goes berserk and fires missiles and bullets wildly. Eventually, Tsuna slices it open, stopping its rampage, but when IX falls out of Gola Mosca's remains, Xanxus frames Tsuna as having attempted to kill the man. In the future, the Mosca project is taken one step further in the form of stronger, more deadly versions of the Gola Mosca model, called Strau Mosca.
Fran
Fran is the newest officer member of the Varia in the future who uses a Hell Ring with the numbers "666"(Number of the beast) imprinted on it. Introduced during the Varia attack on a Millefiore base in Italy, Fran is Mammon's replacement as the group's illusionist and is thus forced to wear a large frog hat to symbolize this. Fran has a calm demeanor despite being very antagonistic towards the other members of the Varia, verbally attacking them. According to reborn volume 25, his profile is top secret. He is scouted to Varia, nearly kidnapped by Belphegor and Squalo. It's revealed later that his master is Mukuro Rokudo, who was released from the Vendicare prison thanks to Fran's help. We are also led to assume that his illusions are some of the strongest because he was able to fool the Vendice Guards who claim that "there are only three illusionists in this world who have the ability to deceive our eyes."
