Background

Not much is known about Vaughn's past life aside from the fact that he was 27 during the events of Tales from the Borderlands and that he was once an accountant for Hyperion. He is excellent with numbers and money management, but is something of a coward and cannot handle nervous situations very well. He and Rhys are best friends, knowing one another since childhood, and the two are also close friends with Yvette.

Involvement

Tales from the Borderlands

At the start of Tales from the Borderlands, Vaughn is a low-ranking accountant working for Hyperion on Helios.

Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary

Sometime between the events of Tales from the Borderlands and Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary, Vaughn became the war chief of a band of bandits. Shortly before the events of the DLC, Colonel Hector and New Pandora captured the fallen Helios from Vaughn's clan. During the conflict, all but Vaughn became infected by Hector's spores.

When the vault hunters find Vaughn, he is in need of rescuing from his infected clan in The Backburner. Following his rescue and the repair of the firewall, Vaughn cheerfully agrees to help the vault hunters and the Crimson Raiders with liberating Sanctuary from Hector's grasp. He also begrudgingly allows the Crimson Raiders to use his camp as a temporary base of operations.

Borderlands 3

Shortly before the events of Borderlands 3, Vaughn is the leader of a bandit clan called the "Sun Smashers." His clan finds the Vault Map after it was lost in a skirmish between the Crimson Raiders and the Children of the Vault. Vaughn's subordinate, Vic, disobeys him and contacts the Children to hand over the Map. The Children attack the Sun Smashers camp and steal the Map, killing everyone who resists. Vaughn is left hanging upside-down from a crane hook by the Calypso Twins until the Vault Hunters arrive and rescue him for Lilith.
