I wonder just how genuine the rebellion and kidnapping attempt in the south really are. I have a hard time seeing Varrick as someone who'd launch a rebellion on his own.

I'm thinking that Varrick is more than meets the eye.

Perhaps, but what does he gain from this? By contrast, Korra's uncle has a lot to gain from a "rebellion," and heavens knows this isn't the first time things have worked out for him in a pretty convenient fashion.
