Vangarre

Vangarre (, Vandham) is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles. He is the colonel of 's Defence Force.

Appearance and personality
Vangarre is an old but fit Homs with pinkish hair and a huge mustache that bends at almost right angles. He wears standard Homs armour.

Vangarre is a hardline no-nonsense drill sergeant known for his strict discipline, his insane dedication, and his blatantly impossible training orders.

Story arc
Vangarre is the Colonel of 's Defence Force. While technically the second rung on the ladder, the leader Dickson is often on his own business, and has Vangarre run the place.

Not long after the story begins and Shulk returns to Colony 9, Vangarre is seen telling off two soldiers for crashing the colony's one remaining mobile artillery into a house while attempting one of his insane drills. Things get worse when the soldiers admit that the ether fuel leaked out and they failed to keep any in reserve, earning a solid punch form the colonel.

The colony soon comes under attack by a bunch of Mechon. Vangarre is furious that there was no advance warning, and screams orders that are carried out slowly. During the attack, Metal Face reaches the military district and chucks an entire transport on top of Vangarre, which immediately explodes.

Vangarre does survive the attack, as told by an unnamed NPC afterwards, but he is not seen again until the Second Battle of Sword Valley, where he recklessly leads Colony 9's forces against the Mechon. He falls off the sword as many others do, but is humourously rescued to no ill effect.

Vangarre is briefly seen at the end of Future Connected.
