"Like I said. I would never betray you, bro!"
—Vaughn reassuring Rhys

Vaughn is a main character in Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands, Borderlands 2's DLC Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary and in Borderlands 3. He serves as the deuteragonist in Rhys's side of the tale. Being Rhys's closest friend, he is a vital character to the story, accompanying him for the majority of the game.

Character[]

Vaughn is a likeable, intelligent, and loyal character. Despite his wits, he is also shown to be naïve and dependent, as shown when he and Rhys were under attack by bandits. He is also shown to be afraid of dangerous situations, often whimpering and cowering in fear. However, he will try to pull through these for his friends, displaying his loyalty.

In Episode 2, his 'fearless' side comes shining through. He proudly announces that he 'is not afraid', although flinches at the sound of Rhys receiving a call from Yvette. Vaughn's trust also becomes questionable, as it is revealed he arranged a deal with Vasquez to 'sell out' Rhys. He assures Rhys that it was only to 'get him off our back', sincerely apologizing for his actions.

Tales from the Borderlands[]

Rhys and Vaughn are first seen at the Helios space station - they have been working towards getting Rhys the promotion that would change their lives, as well as their friend Yvette's. "A few stabs in select backs" have gotten him extremely close to his promotion, and Vaughn chats with Rhys about what he will do after he gets promoted - however, in place of Henderson, their boss, they see Rhys' much hated rival, Hugo Vasquez, who has murdered Henderson and stolen his position. Vaughn sees Rhys walking angrily out of Vasquez's office, and has overheard their conversation - Rhys has been "promoted" to Assistant Vice Janitor. Vaughn, Rhys and Yvette concoct a plan to get back at Vasquez, and greatly increase their position on the Hyperion ladder - Vasquez has set up a deal, involving 10 million dollars and a vault key.
