A deep look inside Vaas's territory when he gets visitors
Origin[]
Vaas Talugmai started off his life into crime after his staying on the island surviving for quite some time then was taken in by Hoyt Volker offering him a place to side with money and drugs. Vaas said yes to the money but also mostly to drugs becoming an addict working for his crime boss and it made him very mentally unstable more so then the warrior culture pressuring to what he's done that he escaped from. He enjoys torturing his victims and is very creative with it even teasing them to give them nourishment to survive having them eat the "meat" that is their own people in cannibalization and drinking their blood, and to further make it disturbing he forces them to drink his own urine, ew. Did he also had told you his definition of insanity?
The thing about Vaas is his mind is always changing itself from being polite to his victims then to let them know they are safe before he breaks their hearts out one torture at a time even mind breaking rape of a torture by his words to give them a mock farewell before shipping them off as slaves or killing them and he wants them to put their efforts into this of how much they'll miss life like their family revealing how much of a crazy jerkass he is inside wanting them to feel very empty and broken apart by telling the cherished adulthood and childhood memories they bring to him to be recorded on camera and watch them all over again to relieve the moment of torture like a victims soul has been trapped inside for his own sick pleasure to view. He lives for his victims to be stockholmed to be dependent on Vaas as their "caretaker." He wants to make sure they have no one else to come screaming back to in hopes they can be saved that he presents as some sort of "savior" to them when he's done with his shits and giggles fun before selling them off or killing them the worst way possible when they've outlived their usefulness or for the fun of it when he's bored.
There is no better option, all you have to hope for is create one yourself that can outlive any scenario this sick bastard of a pirate is gonna give you as even being a prisoner becomes degrading to someones reputation like making you as the horse to ride on. That's right you would become a pet live human animal, a feral creature with no less of your human intelligence left. This is how much of a dehumanizating display of slavery he will do to you worse than death itself.
Vaas also likes to have the victims play the guilt trip game where they are forced to kill their own kind to survive and Vaas makes the victim feel worse by making them go crazy berserk to kill just so he can share how much the human race does what it takes to survive even if it didn't succeded his improvisation of forcing the victim to do so can have terrible effect to their mind to show more of the cruelty of mankind. The fact that he is very patient and competent to plan it all out in a matter of seconds makes him more dangerous and unpredictable even when the weapons are pointing at him, Vaas just continues to insist to put the weapon down when he is walking right up to point blank range that would have a higher chance of killing him without any sign of being fettered because he knows how well fear plays out in a victim and can use it against them, all doing this so casually while speaking to them normally like a human being.
If Vaas Montenegro was ever at a situation where he is armed and helpless before the hero, he would not give in to surrender rather he would give them a sadistic choice rather than become prisoner, Vaas wants them to break whatever they stand for from the heroic code by killing him off and make the understand that if they do kill him right now, he would also impart from his own words that one villains death will never avert the crisis of what will happen to them in the future as there would be no way they'll leave this war out undamaged without being hurted by the worst of its memories experienced by it from the sound of pain to the horrid stench of a corpse, and the memory image of seeing family members, close friends, and lovers being killed in front of them. Physical scars and the mental flashbacks they will always be there for as long as you live the mentally insane killer would taunt forever until you end your suffering by your own hand. He laughs it out right before the hero that they are not so different from his perspective and he was something like them except he had a way out to where he can make the most despised illegal hobby a casual game for himself like it holds no form of regret right before his very eyes, it's just fun what else is there to joy than killing.
It should be known Vaas's antics relate to The Joker if he ever became a pirate in the first place. Actually....he's The Joker's cousin.....god's and goddesses help us all...
The New Elders of The Realm[]
After failing to kill his sister Citra and his archenemy Jason Brody, Vaas was revived by Zorg to join his group. Here his bat shit crazy demeanor will be used to terrify the heroes and will very much hate him for what he does to them when he captures one of them.
Meister of War[]
It's unknown when Vaas Montenegro is gonna show up with the New Elders of The Realm Empire. If he does the heroes are in it entering into his own domain of hell that he'll trap them in to have his own way of sadistic fun and destroy everything they loved in their life and hold within the soul of a dignified reputation that's looking to be shattered by his purely evil motives.

What insanity means to him[]
"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same f**king thing... over and over again, expecting... sh*t to change. That... is crazy; but the first time somebody told me that...I dunno, I thought they were bullsh**ting me, so boom — I shot him. The thing is, okay... He was right. And then I started seeing: everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked, all these f**king pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... over and over and over and over again thinking: "This time, it's gonna be different; no, no, no, no, no, please... This time it's gonna be different." ...I am sorry, I don't like the way you are looking at me... Okay, do you have a f*cking problem in your head? Do you think I am bullsh**ing you? Do you think I am lying? F**k you! Okay? F**K 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 f**king crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge.
Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?"
