Paladin Vargas is a Brotherhood of Steel soldier and operative in the elite Lyons' Pride squad in 2277.
Background
Edit
Vargas was born in 2247. The sergeant of Lyons' Pride, Vargas is 30 and a no-nonsense, professional type. He is Sarah's right hand man; she relies on him for his experience and advice, and he supports and mentors her. There is a very close but mostly unspoken friendship between them.
He has no relation to Nathaniel Vargas or Manya Vargas of Megaton.[1]
Daily scheduleEdit
He is initially encountered patrolling the lobby of the Galaxy News Radio building. After completing the Following in His Footsteps quest he can be seen patrolling the Citadel. When traveling across the bridge during the quest Take it Back!, Vargas will usually be killed. Even if he does survive, he will disappear from the game.

BugsEdit
If you kill Vargas at any point in the game before starting Take it Back!, Liberty Prime will stay immobile, preventing the player from continuing the quest line. [verified]
- This issue can be fixed on PC versions using the console command: player.placeatme 0001d44e 1 to respawn Paladin Vargas and proceed with the quest.
