The top reply was the aforementioned side-by-side comparison, showing a very similar scar to Vaas' on the right eyebrow of Anton's son, who is named simply Diego in the leaks. Much like Sony's swift action in taking the listing down, likewise was Ubisoft quick to issue a statement in the form of the above gif with Esposito's villainous Anton Castillo toking off a fat Cuban. It all first began early Friday morning, when a listing for the title was discovered on the Hong Kong PlayStation store. In relation to Far Cry 6, speculation is running rampant. RELATED: Far Cry Primal: 5 Reasons It's Actually Worth Your Time (& 5 It's Still Not) As John Websell writes in his (highly recommended) article on the compelling nature of Vaas as a character more so than a villain: It's this very psychopathy that makes him so unique, so feared, and so deeply connective. The lens through which Ubisoft chose to depict the character is gelled within a perfect balance, depicting a caricature of villainy in the guise of an easily-empathized and oftentimes misunderstood individual. The fact that he isn't even Far Cry 3's main antagonist only makes Vaas that much more enigmatic. To this very day, he remains an iconic representation of what can make villains truly compelling and it's largely due to the incredible voice acting behind his character.

Yet, despite his originality, Vaas still clearly resembles similar fictional psychopaths, from DC's Joker to Grand Theft Auto V's Trevor Phillips - and some would even argue he's more terrifying and unpredictable. His fluctuating emotional state coupled with his violent approach to the character's existence made him as original as he was ruthless at the time of Far Cry 3's debut. It cannot be left unstated the impact Vaas Montenegro as a video game character has had on the industry. "Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?"
