Backstory
Vega was born the son of a wealthy, but physically unattractive father, and a beautiful mother from a lower-class family. As he matured, Vega studied bullfighting, a cultural tradition. Afterward, he went to Japan and learned ninjutsu, a style he believed meshed well with his natural grace and agility. Combining bullfighting with ninjutsu, Vega went into an underground cage fighting circuit, and quickly became one of the best. One day, Vega witnessed his mother's murder at the hands of his own stepfather, who felt that she did not respect him, and Vega killed him out of vengeance. The incident traumatized him, and he developed a dual personality: honorable nobleman by day, sadistic murderer by night.
Character design
Vega does not wear his expressionless mask to conceal his identity; he removes it after fights, during his win poses, as well as in certain character-select images in various games he appears in. The mask is purely to protect his face from scarring or bruising during battle, since he believes himself to be impossibly beautiful and is obsessively narcissistic. This mask is not particularly sturdy; he may have it knocked off of him during fights before or after his talon comes off, it is smashed in during Vega's lose portrait in Street Fighter II, and Vega himself will crush it to dust with one hand if he loses due to a time over in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
