𝓗e's a Na'vi with the mind and memories of a dead man who hated them. A guy hell-bent on pushing his mission forward even as he stands towering over his superiors, a constant reminder that he's not one of them, and never will be again.

It's clear he's becoming more and more invested in this Na'vi tribe than he is in the human world...he starts dressing like them, which seems to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and the humans know that they're losing control of him.

In the last movie, he (Quaritch) learned to be Na'vi merely as a military necessity to track Jake Sully.

Here, among the Ash People, he finds something genuine. Like him, they're warriors. They rely on strength and fire, and hate the softness of these Tree Goddess worshipers.

His relationship with Varang is disturbing, but it also humanizes him, showing that he is capable of working with the Na'vi, but only through a mutual respect through the power of strength and violence.

Why be a pawn of the humans when you can be by the side of a warlord?

The Ash People add some real variety and texture to the society of the Na'vi....Varang's rejection of the Goddess gives the bad guys of these movies another angle on villainy that was really needed when the motivations of the human invaders has really stayed the same after three movies.

Unlike Jake and Neytiri, who constantly seek guidance from the Spirit Tree or the ancestors, Varang answers to no one but herself and the necessities of her people....there is nothing to fall back on for her. Just the blunt and brutal reality of life on a planet where the living deity has rejected them.

...in a way, the couple both feel rejected by their own societies, and that gives their villainy some interesting shades that haven't always been there in the past for the series. (X)

𝓔very element of VARANG'S COSTUMES reinforce her power and the (Mangkwan) clan's fractured relationship with Eywa, Pandora's spiritual entity. She's more refined than other member's of the Mangkwan. Her buugeng sticks feature jagged blades, which is made from volcanic glass. Her dramatic headdress, which demands both attention and respect, is a signifier of her stature. The merciless leader who will do anything for her people.
