Vaas Montenegro is a character from Ubisoft's Far Cry video game franchise. He appears as an early game antagonist in the 2012 title Far Cry 3, and was extensively featured in promotional material for the game. Vaas is depicted as a capricious and mentally unstable character who antagonizes Far Cry 3's 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 Far Cry 3, who betrayed his people and aligned himself with the crime boss Hoyt Volker. Outside of Far Cry 3, Vaas' appearances include a live-action web series prequel called The Far Cry Experience, the virtual reality title Far Cry VR, and as the player character in the Insanity DLC for 2021's Far Cry 6 (released alongside Control and Collapse, near-identical experiences centered around Joseph Seed and Pagan Min, other notable antagonists in the Far Cry series).
