Vaas Montenegro

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, I shot him. The thing is... He was right. And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these fucking pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... over and over and over and over again thinking 'this time is gonna be different' no, no, no please... This time is gonna be different, I'm sorry, I don't like... The way...[Punches crate aside violently]... you are looking at me... Okay, Do you have a fucking problem in your head, do you think I am bullshitting you, do you think I am lying? Fuck you! Okay? Fuck you!... It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill... The thing is... Alright, the thing is I killed you once already... and it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge. Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?"

Vaas Montenegro is the secondary antagonist of Far Cry 3. As part of a major running theme in the game, Vaas and all of the other villains are mentally unstable.

Vaas makes his first appeareance at the beginnig of the game holding Jason Brody and his brother Grant captive in a cage. He tells them that he's going to ransom them for large amounts of money from their parents. Later in game however it's revealed that he was going to sell them as slaves to make even more money. After Jason and Grant escape from the pirate camp, Vaas shoots Grant in the neck and kills him. Instead of killing Jason however, he tells him to run to the forest to save himself which would later be his undoing.

After Jason finds Grant's girlfriend,Daisy, he learns that his girlfriend Liza Snow was held captive by Vaas personally and assaults the slave prison that is said to hold Liza but it turns out to be a decoy and Jason is knocked out and captured by Vaas. When he wakes up, he, Liza and Oliver are tied up to chairs while Vaas is pouring gasoline all over the room. He then sets the building on fire, leaving Jason and Liza to die and takes Oliver with him. However Jason manages to free himself but falls to the lower floor. After a race against time, he manages to get himself and his girlfriend out of the collapsing building.



Later in game, Jason raids the celebration party thrown by Vaas about Jason's "death" at his own compund. Although he believes that he succesfully infiltrated the compund, he's suprised when Vaas sounds the alarm and broadcasts that he knew he was coming. After a long fight against his pirates, Jason finally confronts Vaas in a large warehouse and challenges him in a knife duel and ultimately kills him after Vaas tells Jason to "take him into his 'heart',accept him as Jason's 'savior',nail him to the 'fucking cross' and let him be 'reborn' ". Symbolicly, representing the role of Vaas being reborn through Jason by becoming a likeness to Vaas's remorselessness and insanity.

Vaas is featured in the "Far Cry Experience", a web-series promoting the game, where he somewhat humorously tortures famous actor Christopher MIntz-Plasse who is filming a reality show/documentary. He is played in live-action by his voice actor Michael Mando.
