Variag

The Variag do not appear in the Animé - only in the Light novels ". The Variag were the sworn enemies of the "Magi". They had no magic, but they made up for it with numerical superiority and good organization and discipline. Like the "Magi", they were immigrants to the world of Halkeginia. Saito described the Variag as armored warriors who reminded him of Romans or Greeks. For this reason, I think it is possible that the Variag were cataphracts from the Eastern Roman Empire. In the Battle of Nidabello, the Variag were crushed by Brimir's void magic.
