When he wakes, he, Liza, and Oliver are tied up in chairs in an old abandoned hotel, while Vaas is pouring and covering them in gasoline. When Jason assaults a slave prison that is said to hold Liza, he is knocked out and captured by Vaas. While on his campaign to save his friends, Jason learns that Vaas is keeping Liza Snow hostage personally, as a way to make Jason come to him. This would later be his undoing as Jason managed to escape. Vaas decides that instead of killing Jason, he lets him run, with the clear intent to hunt him down for sport. It is revealed later that even after receiving the ransom money, Vaas would sell them all as slaves for increased profit.Īfter Jason and Grant escape and brew up an escape plan for everyone, Vaas shoots Grant in the neck, the latter of whom bleeds to death. While Jason and his older brother Grant are tied up, Vaas explains how he is going to ransom them for large amounts of money from their parents. After landing, they are soon captured by Vaas and his Pirates. They then decided to do a blind skydive over the Rook Islands. Vaas would operate from a hidden fortress in the North Island from where he would oversee the deaths and destruction he caused on the natives and the Rakyat who were once considered his family.ĭuring Jason's and his friend’s trip in Bangkok, they hear about an island where you 'can do anything' from Doug, the nightclub DJ that works as a spotter for Vaas.

Vaas and his men would help Volker with his business (such as growing marijuana fields and kidnapping and selling into slavery people who land in the North Island) and strike terror and injustice in the Rakyat and the islands that are rightfully theirs. Vaas went on to become the leader of the Pirates, a faction consisting of pirates that came to the Rook Islands to rape, pillage, steal, and murder. Vaas eventually established contact with Volker who found potential in Vaas and promoted him to right-hand man. Sometime before 2012, Vaas became addicted to drugs, brought to the islands by deranged slave and drug trafficker Hoyt Volker. He was particularly close to his sister Citra and mentions that his first kill was for her. Vaas was born in 1984 on the Rook Islands and, since a young age, when he was a child, he was a member of the native Rakyat.
