Character History
Twelve years prior to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles, Vangarre was the newly appointed colonel of Colony 9 when the Mechon launched a powerful assault against the colony. Rather than fight against the enemy, Vangarre led the civilians to safe houses where the Mechon could not reach them. One of his new recruits Dunban, and his sister Fiora failed to make their way to the safe house, and Vangarre spent the next week silently hoping for their survival. When Dunban and Fiora returned, Vangarre gave him a horrible talking to, however he was in fact glad that Dunban and Fiora were safe.

Mechon Assault
Twelve years later, Colony 9 was attacked by the Mechon once again, this time however they were being led by the power mobile suit known as Metal Face. As his men fled in panic, Vangarre grabbed a powerful machine gun and stared down Metal Face. He fired a powerful blast at the Mechon, however he was horrified to see that his gun did no damage. Metal Face smirked at the colonel, and crushed him with a mobile artillery. With the colony is disarray, Metal Face left the colony and returned to Galahad Fortress.

Vangarre just managed to escape death as he was rescued by his subordinates and rushed to the infirmary. Incapacitated, Vangarre left command of the army to his subordinate Lt. Colonel Kantz, and he made his recovery in the hospital.

2nd Battle of Sword Valley
When Prince Kallian of Alcamoth forms an alliance with the Homs and Nopon, Vangarre answers his call for battle and leads the Colony 9 army at the 2nd Battle of Sword Valley. He takes a lot of joy at using all the High Entia technology, and personally leads the army into the fray. His hot headedness annoys his Colony 6 counterpart Colonel Otharon, however by working together they are able to gain the upperhand in battle.

When Egil awakens the Mechonis, Vangarre and his men are thrown off of the sword and fall into the abyss. Fortunately, one of Vangarre's men is saved by the Nopon, and this soldier saves his colonel. Vangarre threatens to kill him if he dares let go of him as they fly to safety.
