Vargas

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Vargas' in-game sprite

Vargas is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy VI.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Vargas is the son of the martial arts master Duncan. Thus, he was next in line to be the master of the dojo he trained at, which was located near Mt. Kolts. Hovever, he had a major rival in Sabin, who was more talented than him. Vargas always thought Sabin would be the next master and vice versa. According to NPCs and Sabin, Vargas attacked and killed Duncan out of rage for what he perceived as a snubbing when Duncan chose Sabin to be his successor. This is later revealed to be untrue however, and Duncan is found alive by the player later in the game.

One day, however, Vargas snuck out of the dojo and began climbing Mt. Kolts. Terra, Locke, and Edgar caught up to him and Vargas picked a fight with them. However, Sabin showed up, confronting Vargas about his apparent murder of Vargas. Vargas reveals his reasons, and Sabin claims that Duncan had chosen Vargas as his successor, not Sabin. Vargas refuses to listen and duels Sabin one-on-one. Sabin defeats Vargas using a Blitz technique, catching Vargas by surprise as he hadn't expected Sabin to know such an attack yet.

After their duel, Vargas is not seen or mentioned again throughout the game, and the ending of the battle and the way Vargas' sprite vanishes from the screen leaves it ambiguous if he fled after being defeated or was slain by Sabin.
