Captain Burn Face

IGNsat down withFar Cry 3’sexecutive producer Dan Hay to talk about the creation of one of the best characters of 2012, Vaas Montenegro. Originally, Vaas was a big bald dude named Bull. He essentially looked like a generic mini-boss you’d see in most games and Ubisoft almost went with this character. That was until the actor Michael Mando came into the picture.

Ubisoft was blown away by Michael, and they would go on to change the character but it still wasn’t quite Vaas yet. They created Pyro, who resembles Vaas except the skin on his left side was full of burn scars.
