Manny Vargas

Manny Vargas is a former Great Khan who is a veteran NCR Army sniper living in Novac

Background
Raised in North Vegas, Manny joined the Great Khans with his cousins. After he left the gang, he enlisted with the New California Republic Army and brought his friend Boone. They were a part of the First Recon sharpshooters, where they served as spotters for one another.

When First Recon was called to attack the Great Khans at Bitter Springs, Boone went but Manny faked an illness to avoid going because he knew some of the individuals living there. A massacre took place there, the details of which no one would share with Manny when they returned. He shares that he still does not know exactly what happened, apart from that civilians were killed by accident, and that the events made him choose not to reenlist. Boone also decided against reenlisting, and Manny brought Boone along with him to resettle in Novac.

After the two settled in Novac, Boone met a woman named Carla. Manny often fought with Carla, afraid that Boone would eventually leave because of her. When Carla disappeared, Boone attempted to confide in Manny, but thought his friend was glad to hear about the disappearance, despite attempts to hide it.

When Benny indicated he was planning on heading towards Novac, McMurphy suggested the group spend the night there, knowing that Manny would be willing to accommodate the group. McMurphy left him a message showing his appreciation for keeping the visit quiet, and letting Manny know that he is welcome to join back up with the Great Khans anytime. Manny can direct the Courier, letting them know the group was heading to Boulder City next.
