Vegas is a sniper for Freelancer and is one of the few agents who weren't in the UNSC beforehand. Vegas grew up with hunters and worked with the Insurrection as a sniper. Soon he found being on the run too much, going to turn himself in before Freelancer came with an opportunity to join them instead. Not having much choice, he joined up, soon finding that the project was much different to the previous one. This caused him to be intrigued at what could be different and so at times would lead him to snoop around for information.

He is indifferent to Charon Industries, feeling that they are just the same and that both sides are only following orders. Compared to his comrades, Vegas can be very cynical at times, often providing reality checks when it seems an idea is too far-fetched.
