Lean, sullen SPECTRE henchman portrayed by Philip Locke in Thunderball. According to his boss, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), Vargas is a passionless man who doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, and doesn’t make love. What does Vargas do? He’s a killer, pure and simple. Agent 007 (Sean Connery) disposes of him on Love Beach with a well-aimed shot from his CO₂ speargun.
