Vasques is Soares' boss at the fabric warehouse. Soares describes Vasques as being a pleasant man in good health. He states that Vasques is sincere even though he is self-centered and occasionally short-tempered. Vasques also has a sense of justice that Soares says is lacking in some men. At one point in Soares' description of his boss, Soares indicates that he feels an odd connection with the man. He ascribes this connection to some former life where Vasques may have played a more significant role in Soares life than he does currently. In Section 130, Soares names Vasques as one of the major influences on his intellectual development.
