V.M. Varga is a Main Character in Fargo Season 3. He is a "mysterious loner and true capitalist who delivers Emmit, the Parking Lot King of Minnesota, the bad news that he has just become partners with his employers, whose business interests lay outside the law." He is the Main Antagonist of Season 3.

Overview

V.M. Varga is a true capitalist who is fascinated by other people’s humanity, which he sees as their weakness. V.M. is a man who goes out of his way to be alone because he feels that it’s our dogged connection to each other that keeps us from reaching our full potential.

Appearance

Varga is a very tall man standing at 6'2. He has blue eyes and light brown unkempt hair. His most distinguished feature are his very bad and poorly maintained teeth, which have severe plaque buildup and are highly deteriorated most likely due to bulimia. He has an English accent and almost exclusively wears a brown $200 suit with a blue and yellow second hand tie and a long trench coat.

Personality

Varga is a cunning and manipulative criminal mastermind, able to convince people of facts whether true or not. He does not kill people directly, instead sending his henchmen to deal with any possible "inconveniences".

History

Early Life

Varga is a man of supposed English origin, although his supposed surname denotes a certain Hungarian origin. Born to a housemaid, he spent his childhood in poverty. He set up the criminal organization Narwhal and recruited Meemo, Golem, and Yuri Gurka at a later point in time.
