Vardavar was a long forgotten laboratory within the Sirensong Sea. This Allagan lab researched alternative applications of Eikon-draining technology. The biggest project was the sword Vishapakagh, but there were also numerous pods of chimerical experimentation. There was an attempt to make weapons that would create Eikon-shifting soldiers based on weaponry alone -- but similar to Zana -- the project ended in failure.

 

Nowadays, V500 is known by Zana Vardavar. She walks the lands of Eorzea where she welcomes assumptions about being Au Ra in a land that is none the wiser about the scaleborn race. Zana was gifted her name by a 'Nightfall Company officer.' In truth, he was another thief in pursuit of treasure. Although V500 was written off as damaged, forgotten, and decayed, her new band of companions were able to open her pod with the ID card.
