Vargas the Mad is one of the original five Brigand Kings introduced to the game in April 2006. So far it appears that he is the sole king to exclusively rumble, technically making him a Barbarian King. He is captain of the crew Circle of Madness and king of the flag The Enlightened on all English oceans. On the Opal Ocean he goes by the name Vargas der Irre and is captain of the crew Zirkel des Wahnsinns and king of the flag Die Erleuchteten. On the Jade Ocean, he is named Vargas el Loco, and is captain of the crew Círculo de la locura and king of the flag El Iluminado.

As part of 2008 Halloween events, Vargas made his first appearance in-game. Hints were given in a form of riddle on various nights which was related to him. Not only that, he left a statue of himself during the Masquerade Ball event, which then leads to the introduction of Cursed Isles.

He leads the cultists in the Cursed Isles and occasionally appears there for rumble fights.

Note: While there have been posts in the forum done under the guise of the Brigand Kings, these are unofficial postings made by players that are not Ocean Masters or any other Three Rings or Grey Havens staff and are not approved.
