Vincent was born a war orphan, picked up among the rubble of a small town in the once-habitable country of Nyx by a traveling merchant. With no home to go, the merchant, Mr. Alexander Law, adopted Vincent as his own, giving him the name as such, for the boy had had no recollection of his past before meeting Alexander. He was only six-years-old, then, and had been surviving in Nyx's harsh conditions. Vincent would follow Alexander and he would be raised as a merchant himself. He was taught how to speak, to charm, to bargain and to read people's reactions so as to better adjust his approach in order to clinch the sale. His life was slowly getting better, and the boy grew up to finally learn how to smile, breaking the ice around his heart. In fact, he took the lessons to heart, growing up to become quite a charismatic individual, and he began to develop a reputation of being a casanova.

With his adoptive father being successful in the business, Vincent's life was pretty grand. He was raised with access to a lot of money, and he did not waste the privilege at all, purchasing whatever caught his eye. He grew an interest especially in Victorian apparels and fancy knives. He had a good life. Until he reached the age of 16.

Alexander had been out on a business trip in King's Hold, but a few days after arriving, Alexander was found dead in his caravan. Distraught, Vincent traveled there himself to investigate the scene. There, he saw the whole caravan ransacked, the stores emptied and the body of his father on the ground, with a wound on the chest. With no clue as to who the culprit was, Vincent found himself traveling around King's Hold, asking questions and pushing for the identity of the man who murdered his father.

And it was only after two years of investigations did he find out that it had been no simple robbery. It was an assassination, sanctioned and paid for by a merchant from the Merchant's Guild, for Alexander had been a thorn on the side of his business. And he also discovered the identity of the man who drove the blade into his father's chest. Purchasing a knife of his own, he broke into the assassin's home and attempted to obtain his revenge. However, it had not been as easy as he had thought.

A tussle and a hustle, and Vincent would come out on top, but not without scars. He had been cut himself, and was bleeding pretty badly. He was surprised himself that he had managed to drag himself to the nearby clinic, and obtain medical aid for his injuries. A week later, he would recover, and realizing that he was far from capable in taking down the merchant who paid for his father's assassination, for he carried the protection of the Merchant's Guild and the other Guilds as well, he returned to Gladiolus. There, looking through his father's stores and using his own money, he had crafted a weapon, with the knife he used to kill the assassin as one of its main components. Naming it Belen, he began to train himself to use the weapon effectively, and enlisted himself into the Empire's military.

There, for the years to come, he trained and fought against the Guilds and other threats to the Empire, using his rare Ice element, Belen, intellect and charm to get the better of any opponent that crossed his path. And now, at the age of 30, Vincent had found himself within the Empire's navy, captain of one of its many ships.
