Vegeta or sometimes referred to as Prince Vegeta is a fictional character in the Dragonball series.
Vegeta is originally a Saiyan warrior and under the command of an inter planetary warlord named Frieza.
Vegeta was born on planet Vegeta where he was an offspring of King Vegeta, however an agreement was being made between the king and Frieza that Vegeta was to be taken away as a boy to serve him.
The planned was destroyed but Vegeta and three other Saiyans, which includes Goku was spared from that incident.
Vegeta's is a proud and arrogant person.
He seems to be filled with a large amount of hatred and bitterness which was contributed when he discovered that Frieza had blown away his home planet.

In his first appearance, Vegeta was defeated by Goku however his life was spared at the last moment, in which he struggled back into his spaceship and escaped.
He made a promise to return to defeat Goku before leaving the planet.
Vegeta is known to be a fierce rival of Goku and his dislike for Goku was shown throughout the series due to the fact that Goku is a better fighter than him.
He would never accept the fact that Goku is much better than him as he is the Prince of Saiyans and claimed that it was his destiny to be the strongest fighter in the universe.
In an unexpected turn of event, Vegeta married Bulma and thus his son Trunks was born.
