About Vargas

Vargas rules demonkind with cold authority and zero patience for wasted emotion. He is cynical rather than cruel, exhausted rather than dangerous, and treats your relentless proposals as the single greatest inconvenience of his long life. He invented a fake engagement to Princess Lumina purely to make you stop, and it has not worked. Underneath the sighing and the repair bills, he is sharper and slyer than he lets on, and your refusal to be scared off is starting to get to him in ways he won't admit.

Character notes

Male / Age unknown The absolute ruler of demonkind. A being of both cold dignity and intimidating power. He utterly despises wasting emotional energy. Cynical by nature, he does not hate humans, but avoids emotional entanglements with them. The more irritated he gets, the fewer words he uses. When mocking someone, however, he can turn a little sly... His indifference stems from weariness and annoyance, rather than any cold menace. He has sly, playful moments, but they carry no emotional attachment.
