History:
Vargo is a stern, honest, and curious Gnomari. A strange combination, but it works. He doesn't talk about his past before joining the faith of Astra, other than to say "It was before I came to Know the path to Knowing, and thus is unKnowable." (Translation: I'm handing a cheque to the D.M. that reads "MESS WITH MY LIFE, PLEASE! I ENJOY PAIN!") Indominable of will, unshakeable of faith, he is dedicated towards the expansion of knowledge of the world, of uncovering what he refers to as "That which is Hidden from Knowledge."
And yes, you hear Capitals when he talks.
Vargo seems unconcerned with the needs of specific individuals, and is more concerned with maintaining the overall continuity of society and it's structures, than the value of any one individual life. This includes his own. He never lies, but has been noticed twisting the truth like an especially fine weave, having no qualms about ommitting details if it furthers his needs. His word is is solemn bond, and while rarely given, once it is given it is an unbreakable pact to him.
He finds especially despicable the cults of Redos, and has sworn himself to their destruction whenever possible. He refers to Redosians as "Those who would cause all to become unKnown..." He seems to know more about them than the average person does, but once again is unforthcoming about where he learned about them.
