Cry">Far Cry</a></i> video game franchise. He first appears as the secondary antagonist of the 2012 title <i><a href="/wiki/Far_Cry_3" title="Far Cry 3">Far Cry 3</a></i>, and was extensively featured in promotional material for the game. Vaas is depicted as a capricious and mentally unstable character who antagonizes <i>Far Cry 3</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> main character Jason Brody, and also serves as his dark psychological mirror. Vaas is later revealed to be a drug-addicted wayward member of the local community of the Rook Islands, the setting of <i>Far Cry 3</i>, who betrayed his people and aligned himself with the crime boss Hoyt Volker. Outside of <i>Far Cry 3</i>, Vaas' appearances include a live-action <a href="/wiki/Web_series" title="Web series">web series</a> prequel called <i>The Far Cry Experience</i>, the <a href="/wiki/Virtual_reality" title="Virtual reality">virtual reality</a> title <i>Far Cry VR</i>, and as the player character in <i>Vaas: Insanity</i>, a <a href="/wiki/Downloadable_content" title="Downloadable content">downloadable content</a> (DLC) expansion for the 2021 title, <i><a href="/wiki/Far_Cry_6" title="Far Cry 6">Far Cry 6</a></i>. </p><p>Conceived and designed by Ubisoft's development team as a villainous character who is comparable in stature to <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Wars" title="Star Wars">Star Wars</a></i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> <a href="/wiki/Darth_Vader" title="Darth Vader">Darth Vader</a>, Vaas is portrayed in all relevant media by Canadian actor <a href="/wiki/Michael_Mando" title="Michael Mando">Michael Mando</a>. Mando decided to improvise for his audition and did not follow the developers' script, but they were so impressed by his performance that the character they had in mind was redesigned to match Mando's physicality. The game's story was eventually altered from the developers' initial intentions to accommodate a more frenetic, sociopathic villain in response to Mando's performance. The creative team worked in tandem with Mando to flesh out Vaas' characterization. </p><p>Vaas has been well received by the video game community and is often ranked on many lists of the best video game villains due to his depiction as an unhinged criminal. Mando's critically acclaimed performance was considered by many critics to be instrumental to the character's predominantly positive reception, and would influence the portrayal of villainous characters in subsequent sequels. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Concept_and_design">Concept and design</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vaas_Montenegro&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Concept and design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The lead writer of <i><a href="/wiki/Far_Cry_3" title="Far Cry 3">Far Cry 3</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Jeffrey_Yohalem" title="Jeffrey Yohalem">Jeffrey Yohalem</a>, is credited as Vaas Montenegro's creator.<sup id="cite_ref-NYTimes_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYTimes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For <i>Far Cry 3</i>, Yohalem took inspiration from public discourse about whether video games are good for the player's mental health, and about the concept of "gamification" in society as a whole. Yohalem wanted Vaas to represent a cautionary tale about what could potentially happen to player characters who found themselves caught up in their most indulgent, violent impulses; when interviewed by IGN about his thought process behind Vaas, Yohalem explained that video game developers always talk about 30-second loops, a line of thought within the video game industry which states that players should be put into a situation where what they are doing every 30 seconds is so satisfying that they never want to stop.<sup id="cite_ref-How_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-How-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Yohalem wanted to examine "what made games tick", and then examined the player's involvement in them and whether these experiences are enjoyable for the player, or whether they find themselves confronted by an "uncomfortable development", with this archetype represented by Vaas, a pirate who seems to be "on the knife edge between sanity and mental collapse".<sup id="cite_ref-How_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-How-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Yohalem opined that Vaas' monologue about the definition of insanity is in accord with the philosophies behind <i>Far Cry 3</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> design, as it "perfectly encapsulates" the dark side of the concept of a gameplay loop which the writing team attempted to deconstruct.<sup id="cite_ref-How_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-How-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Vaas was not part of the developers' original vision for <i>Far Cry 3</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> major villains. He was meant to be a bald and muscular man named Bull, who looked similar to "a 300-pound, six-foot-tall bullmastiff dog".<sup id="cite_ref-Never_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Never-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A second iteration of the character was named Pyro and had a heavily mutilated body.

To perform his role as Vaas, Mando's gestures and facial expressions were translated into animation through carbon-fiber helmets, with cameras mounted about two feet from his face to record every squint, frown, or smile.
