*"He... knows. Mitchell... knows."* - Hector's final words to Dell

**Pedro, Hector, and Javier Vargas**, commonly known as the **Vargas Brothers**, are minor antagonists in the Raider series and served as the primary antagonistic group in Dell's chapter.

The trio were twin brothers and leaders for the Vargas Cartel. Despite having an extremely strict, mechanical physicality and virtually non-verbal interaction, they were a fearsome presence who killed anyone (whether or not they were actual threats) without hesitation or emotion.

## Background

Born on 2027 (Pedro), 2030 (Hector), and 2042 (Javier), the twin brothers grew up in Caracas, Venezuela to Carlito Vargas, a known crime lord. While it's never known, the twins grew up throughout their lives, having been trained and prepared to become criminals under their father's wing and became lieutenants of their father's organization.

However, they took over the organization after their father's passing and became leaders of each of their own sets.

## Biography

The brothers are introduced in the 12th chapter, having started a war between themselves and the WTO group led by Dean. It's rumored that the Vargas Cartel took over the power vacuum as most of the Underworld were wiped out by the late Jay Roberts for years.

However, the WTO sent in Dell to wipe out the entire gang and he managed to kill the brothers and their organization with ease. Surprisingly, it's later revealed that the Vargas brothers recorded Dean's involvement in Jay's assassination and were planning to expose Dean's corruption before Dell's interference.

## Personality

The Vargas Brothers were extremely dangerous, cunning, cold and sociopathic men. The cousins both showed dedication to family, which was instilled in them by their father, who taught them that family was the most important thing in life, and was exemplified by their dedication to avenge the death of their father, who was killed by WTO operative Dean Mitchell. All 3 were blindly loyal to the gang and followed any order without question and killed whoever they were ordered to, notably numerous WTO operatives, despite having strict demands to kill Mitchell.

With the exception of Hector, they were very silent individuals, avoiding any kind of unneeded conversation, and only speaking when absolutely necessary. They seemed to have both mastered a complex system of nonverbal communication. As they were shown to be able to effectively do their jobs without saying a word on multiple occasions, they were capable of giving out orders and demands to their own members, as shown as they ordered their men to attack Dell.

They were portrayed as vicious and professional killers, capable of murdering civilians (notably children and elderly people) and innocent bystanders needlessly, without any hint of remorse and were even able to destroy an entire patrol of WTO operators with ease, according to Dean's dialogue. However, they seem to have a sense of morality and fairness, despite rarely showing it. A noted example was seen when Hector, knowing the truth behind Jay's assassination, gave Dell a subtle warning about Mitchell before he succumbed to his wounds. This shows that the Brothers had a level of morality and honesty, despite being ruthless and vicious killers.
