Vaas is the secondary antagonist of Far Cry 3 and is easily the most enduring character in the entire game, in no small part because developers Ubisoft were able to make him seem so genuinely bat-sh*!t crazy. Ubisoft must have been aware of what an incredible job theyd done with their creation and execution of the Vaas character as he featured so prominently in the marketing of the game, even making it onto the games cover alongside a body buried in the sand (which you can actually find in the game as an Easter Egg). The drug-addled psycho is the more dangerous type of nutter who is able to alternate from being terrifyingly violent to polite and courteous. However, those subtly widened eyes always announce his inner insanity. Even in the sequences where Vaas is being weirdly charming we know that he will inevitably undergo an intense mood swing and slump into a violent rage. The character who stole the show in Far Cry 3 is now famous in the gaming world for that incredible Insanity Monologue. He may lack an imposing physique but Vaas intensely psychotic nature means that he is one of the best antagonists seen in recent years and certainly a gaming psychopath who has raised the bar in terms of depth and characterisation.
