Biography
Varney is the ex-cop who takes charge of the rogue cops and EPA agents in the heist of Beverly Hills, orchestrated by Robert Masterson. He helps the staged chemical accident so the whole town can evacuate. As he has his men start looting, the mayor of Beverly Hills drives up and ask questions about the situation. Varney then kills him by shooting him in the head, which lead Kevlin to quit the operation, being promised no bloodshed. Shortly after, he notices retired star fotoball quarterback Boomer Hayes was left behind and orders his men to kill him. Boomer manages to fight back and evade them with the help of Kevlin.

Later on, with the help of hired thug Benitez, he tries to have Boomer and Kevlin killed. Benitez fires at them, causing both to play dead. Varney walks up and wants to make sure they're done for by leaving a bomb near them right before he drives away. Boomer then gets up and throws the bomb into his truck. He notices the beeping and shouts "Boomer!!!" before he is killed in the explosion.
