Vaas Montenegro is one of gaming's most iconic villains, and Far Cry 6 hints that the sadistic smuggler could be making a triumphant return in the near future. The open-world first-person shooter series is known for its intense villains, with Vaas paving the way for other figures like self-appointed king Pagan Min and cult leader Joseph Seed.

During the events of Far Cry 3 the player repeatedly runs into Vaas and slowly learns his backstory, making him a provocative and profound rival. The feud is finally settled in a brutal boss fight against the pirate lord, which ends with Vaas getting stabbed by the mystical Dragon Knife.
