“

But this year will be different. It's high time this place ran with a little discipline and order. I expect you to work harder than ever before. To be rigorous, to push yourselves. To be perfect. Because I believe every one of you is extraordinary. The students in this room have the power to literally change the world. To whom much is given, much is required, and I am requiring of you to be better than humans ever could. Because the day is coming when we will step out of the shadows, when you will no longer hide yourselves. Because the future is supernatural.

— Ryan, disguised as Professor Vardemus, addresses the student body in This Year Will Be Different

Professor Rupert Vardemus is a witch who made his debut on the second episode of the second season of Template:Legacies. In Screw Endgame, it was revealed that he is in fact Ryan Clarke, using a spelled, magical ring to disguise himself. The real Rupert Vardemus was later discovered in There's A Place Where The Lost Things Go, trapped in a gym locker.

Early History

Nothing is known about Rupert's history.

Throughout Legacies Series

Main article: Ryan Clarke

Rupert Vardemus has only been seen as Ryan Clarke's disguised form from This Year Will Be Different to Screw Endgame, when he revealed his true form to the Keeper - though he remained undetected at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted until It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough.

In There's A Place Where The Lost Things Go, Emma finds the real Professor Vardemus. He had been locked inside a locker in the gym while his mind was trapped in a simulation where his memory was erased. After the simulation ended, he woke up and watched over the Salvatore School students with Emma Tig until they all woke up.

Personality

Rupert is described as an urbane British sorcerer who is "a bit of a dandy, wins over the Salvatore students with his steadfast belief in the superiority of their supernatural world."

He is shown to be well mannered, calm and intelligent. He shows that he cares for the well being of the students as he didn't want to interfere with the simulation ass there was a strong possibility it could've endangered them. According to Landon, he is also gullible as he believed Landon's words about using the platter for homework instead of what they were actually going to use it for.

Physical Appearance

He had a tall stature and medium build, wearing eccentric clothes that would consist of different colored bow ties. He had short, brownish-gray hair and blue eyes.

Powers and Abilities

Rupert possesses the standard powers and abilities of a witch.

Weaknesses

Rupert has the typical weaknesses of a human/witch.
