Overview-Vincent has made some splashes with is dive into his Requiem, but he's swimming fine. The hometown boy that's sitting comfortable among thieves,this lordling's set out to make the Underworld his kingdom, more importantly he's Philadelphia's resident Scion and will do whatever it takes to serve and protect his city, no matter who or what has to burn to make Mother happy.

History-Born and raised in Philly, Vincent learned early on not to rely on anyone for anything. His parents where either too drunk or too strung out to care for him so he learned to fend for himself. Vinny soon learned from the streets, starting by helping others with their scams then striking out against marks. When social services came, he took his sister and ran, preferring a chance on the streets to social services. For years he's relied on good looks and social grace to get him out of bind of course it's led to the occasional chase down the streets are alleys from jealous partners. He doesn't want to be a con man forever, he's always wanted more and is willing to take what life owes him. It was this ambition and will to survive that led to his sire embracing him. Meeting a girl at a party, Vinny was lured away and turned into a Daeva, his sire Cynthia who turned him and was soon killed for embracing without the neonates consent. He now finds himself a newborn in the world of undead, however he plans to survive.

Appearance-A fragile-looking, handsome man with a beautiful face or a mischievous and unsavory character, both are perfectly fine ways to describe Vincent. With a lithe build and short black hair, he's not exactly a threatening figure and plenty of folks have sized him up to be perfectly harmless, just like he wants them to think. He has two tattoo's, the Mark of Slaanesh on his chest and covering his back are raven wings, with white feathers on the top. His accent is pure North Philly, but when he speaks Russian a hint of a Russian accent might peek through.

Personality-It's not that Vinny is heartless, he would argue that he cares alot about people, it's just that people have let him down. His parents where hardly fit for the title and he had to fend for himself and his sister, giving him a strong sense of 'family first'. Deep inside however are layers of self-hatred and self-worth issues, scars left by childhood, leaving him to overthing situations and often hurting himself with his 'solutions' to problems. He will take advantage of a sucker who seems too stupid for their money but will try to focus on folks who deserve it. He's learned that knowledge is power and values information more than brute strength. When it comes to people, he likes to observe 'interesting folks, those who have a story or are going to make one, and he'll be there with the popcorn to watch it unfold. He can be a fool when in love, seeing his partner as someone worth more than himself. More than anything however he wants the life he thinks he and his sister are owed, and he'll do anything to get their. Recently he's developed a new confidence and sense of leadership.
