President Vargos was the leader of a planetary alliance that included the planets Earth and Necros.
When Vargos' wife died, her funeral was to be held on Necros at Tranquil Repose. Afterwards her body would be placed in suspended animation until a cure for the illness that caused her death could be found. With Tranquil Repose unknowingly taken over by Davros and the bodies turned into food or Davros' new generation of Daleks, Vargos became suspicious, and had decided to also investigate Tranquil Repose and the activities of Kara. Intending to cover her tracks, Kara had planned to assassinate both Vargos and Davros so that she could control the food supply for the whole galaxy. Peri Brown radioed Vargos' Presidential spacecraft and warned him not to land on Necros. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks, PROSE: Revelation of the Daleks)
