"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"

Vardan is among the members of the Secret Police to be tasked to hunt down and kill both of the Beavers and the Pevensie children at the Beaver's Damn. 

Reaching the Damn, Vardan and the rest of the pack begin to break into the house, but are told to hurry by Maugrime. Finally getting inside, they begin to tear the place apart until they find the Beaver's escape tunnel and follow it. 

He and the pack watch Maugrime as he interrogates the fox, falling for the Fox's ploy to send them North in order to allow the children to get to the Stone Table. 

The pack eventually pick up the correct trail and confront the Pevensie Children at the Waterfall and frozen river crossing, where they corner the children. However he and the other wolves are sent crashing under the water when the ice thaws and creates a powerful wave. 

Surviving the incident, Vardan and the other members of the pack find the Fox gathering "rebels" near the shuddering woods and helps bring him before the Queen: watching him being turned stone, before being ordered to continue to the "Stone Table" after Edmund revealed the location of Aslan and his army. 

Vardan and Maugrime hunt down the Pevensie's at the camp, where they shock Lucy and Susan- while the two girls were playing in the river- by appearing behind their towel that was hanging on a branch. Varden follows Maugrime's statement of their tiredness by stating that they wanted to kill them "quickly." However Susan distracts them long enough to reach for her horn and contact Peter and climb up a tree. Both wolves try and bite at their legs as Peter arrives and draws his sword on them.

Varden circles Peter as Maugrime mocks Peter for standing up to him again with the sword- having done it at the river- and is about to attack when Aslan arrives with Oreius and traps under him the lion's paw. He watches in shock as Peter kills Maugrime and sprints away as soon as he is released, inadvertently leading Oreius and several other of Alsan's forces to the Witch's camp.  

Varden was injured during Edmund's rescue and is subsequently killed by an irate Jadis with a sword for failure.
