Vincent, when on a normal day and time, is rather quiet and very calm. He tends to survey everything that he can before he places forth his input, wanting to make sure that the information that he gives, and that he has gotten is as accurate as possible. When he does speak its a very calm and quiet speech manner. He doesn't really get angry, nor does he wish to. Should he get angry it could be rather destructive because of the forms he can take on. And while he might seem aloof and uncaring when it comes to people, that is very far from the truth. In fact, he cares too much when it comes to certain things and certain people. To the point that he would throw caution to the wind to be able to keep those people safe.

Due to his critical thinking and the ability to think on his feet, he has some leadership ability, however there is something that he fears when it comes to all of that. He fears that he will either fail or he will lose those close to him if he doesn't do everything perfectly. He tends to let those thoughts sway his choices a little bit, however when push comes to shove he chooses to step up and do what he can because he feels that if he simply sat back and did nothing because he was afraid of failing, that it would be worse than doing nothing at all. 

One thing that will always cause him to raise to action is to help the innocents, is to help those that can't help themselves, but truly need it to make sure that they can come back from everything. He will always, always do what he feels is the right thing, even if it might lack a bit of emotion and going for logic, he will listen to other people so long as the advice they're giving can be seen as intelligent. His heart is in the right place, and he wants to try to make things right when he can, but he is still a little distant when it comes to large groups. He does have a bit of a sense of humor, but its still new and he's still learning the timing and the things to say and do.

While he does know what it means to love, he isn't really sure if he should give it another true. However, if he does find someone that he does fancy, or rather that he grows close and attached to he will be quite loyal and quite defensive and protective of them so that he need not go through the pain of loss once again as he has already suffered that feeling a bit too long.

About twenty-five to thirty years before Final Fantasy VII, Vincent was a member of the Turks, then known as Shinra Electric Power Company "Department of Administrative Research". When he was assigned to supervise the Jenova Project in Nibelheim, he fell in love with a scientist named Lucrecia Crescent, an assistant to Gast Faremis. When he discovered her link to his deceased father, Grimoire Valentine, Lucrecia distanced herself from Vincent and entered a relationship with her associate, Professor Hojo. Lucrecia became pregnant and Hojo planned to use the fetus as a test subject for the Jenova Project.



Vincent objected to the use of humans — especially Lucrecia — as test subjects. In the interest of science Lucrecia proceeded with the treatment and became sick as a result. Vincent confronted Hojo in the Shinra Mansion's underground laboratory and amidst the heated argument Hojo shot Vincent in the chest. Hojo used Vincent's half-dead body as test subject for experiments involving strengthening the endurance of the human body, and metamorphosis, enabling the body to transform into various monstrous forms. While Hojo made Vincent's body stronger, the experiments were a failure because Vincent, though still living, remained in a death-like state.



As a last resort to rehabilitate him, Lucrecia infused the Chaos-tainted Mako into his broken-down body. The procedure worked, as Vincent's body, due to Hojo's previous experiments, was strong enough to become a vessel for Chaos; however, Chaos was uncontrollable and was only stopped when the Protomateria had a reaction to Chaos. The Protomateria, discovered by Grimoire alongside Chaos, was theorized by Lucrecia to have been created by the Planet "out of necessity as a means to control Chaos and prolong its own inevitable fate", and was placed in Lucrecia's laboratory.



Lucrecia put the Protomateria inside Vincent's chest, enabling Vincent to control Chaos to a degree. As a result of Hojo's experiments and the combination with Chaos, Vincent acquired superhuman abilities, such as amplified strength, speed, endurance, agility, regeneration, shape-shifting, and other powers. Vincent awakened on the operating table and responded to his modified body with anguish and rage.


Believing himself responsible for Lucrecia's illness after Sephiroth's birth, Vincent locked himself within a coffin in the Shinra Mansion basement, where he slept mostly undisturbed for thirty years to atone for his "sins". He constantly relived his nightmare as a punishment for his inability to stop Lucrecia from submitting to Hojo's experiment on her unborn baby.



In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, when Zack Fair hears groaning emanating from a coffin in the Shinra Mansion basement, he opens it and is startled to find a sleeping person. Deciding against disturbing the slumbering man, Zack replaces the cover, which locks back into place.


Vincent's long sleep is disturbed during Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-, though not ended. On December 19th, 0006, in Episode 19, the player's Turk and Veld search for the Support Materia for the summon Zirconiade at the Shinra Mansion. Veld awakens Vincent and despite the differences in their physical appearances, recognize each other as Vincent and Veld were contemporaries at the Turks.



Vincent helps the Turks fight AVALANCHE and displays sharp shooting skills, though he is jaded after his long sleep. The Materia is hidden in the mansion and Vincent knows of its existence; he gives it to Veld before he returns to his rest, refusing to leave with the Turks. .

In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud and the party discover Vincent in a locked room in the basement of Shinra Manor in Nibelheim where he is talked out of his sleep and speaks to Cloud. Cloud tells him about Sephiroth, and Vincent, knowing he was the child Lucrecia had conceived, considers it another "sin" and returns to sleep. When Cloud tries to leave, Vincent follows and asks if they will meet Hojo. Cloud confirms, and Vincent agrees to accompany the party with plans of claiming revenge.



When the party discovers Lucrecia in Lucrecia's Cave, Vincent relives memories from his past, remembering the argument between himself and Hojo over Lucrecia, and Hojo shooting Vincent and experimenting on him. When the party confronts Hojo at the controls of the Sister Ray, Vincent claims it was Hojo, not him, who was meant to sleep and atone for his crimes.



Vincent, along with Yuffie, is not present in the ending FMV due to being optional characters. Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- retcons that the two returned to Midgar early to help evacuate the city before Meteor hit, saving many lives, including a heavily-injured Rufus Shinra. This occurs following Sephiroth's defeat, while the other party members watch the events from above in the Highwind. However, in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, both are seen with the rest of the group fighting Sephiroth during the last battle.


Vincent appears in the On the Way to a Smile novella "Case of Red XIII". He leaves Cloud and the others in the Forgotten Capital with a cold "bye". During his journeys he follows a Turk helicopter and arrives at a hunter camp near Nibelheim. He shoots down Red XIII when he attacks one of the huts. He explains to Red XIII his actions were wrong and leaves.



Vincent meets Red XIII later again at the Forgotten Capital. Red XIII is scared that, due to his long lifespan, he will lose everyone he loves and live a life of loneliness. Vincent comforts him and reveals he will always be with him because he is immortal and the two agree to an annual meeting in Midgar.


It is revealed during Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children that during the year following Final Fantasy VII Vincent traveled the world, mysteriously popping in and out, retrieving information and helping those in need, keeping looser connection with his friends than the rest of the party. In 0009 he follows rumors to the Forgotten Capital, where the Remnants of Sephiroth are stationed. After Tseng and Elena were struck down and tortured by the trio at the North Crater, Vincent rescued them and helped them recover, while getting as much information about the remnants as he could.



When Kadaj fights Cloud in the Forgotten City, Vincent rushes in and opens fire at Kadaj while picking up Cloud and carrying him to safety. Resting in a remote part of the forest, Vincent tells Cloud about Geostigma and Sephiroth's impending rebirth. Cloud, still tormented over his guilt at being unable to prevent Aerith's and Zack's deaths, asks Vincent if sins are ever forgiven. Vincent replies with "I've never tried". Cloud decides to try, and tells Vincent he would "phone in the verdict".



Vincent shows up with the rest of AVALANCHE for the battle against Bahamut SIN, asking Tifa where he could buy a cellphone (he apparently is the only member of AVALANCHE without one). Aboard the Shera, Vincent explains to the party Kadaj is Sephiroth's "larva form" and would become him, while Cloud duels him atop the Shinra Headquarters' remains. Although the party are eager to help, Vincent says Cloud can handle him alone.



During the bonus feature, "Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII", Vincent calls Cloud. At some point after Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Vincent purchased a cellphone, and made a point to relay a message to Yuffie that she has no right to call it.


A year following the events of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, in 0010 when Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- takes place, Vincent is in Kalm as a festival is being held to celebrate the restoration of the Worldwide Network when the town falls under attack by a mysterious group of soldiers who gather up select people while killing the others. Unknown to Vincent, the soldiers are hunting him down. He is confronted by two, a man named Azul and a young girl, demanding the location of the Protomateria. The girl suddenly faints and incoming WRO troops force Azul to take the girl and retreat. After securing Kalm, Vincent meets up with Reeve Tuesti who tells him Edge is now under attack. En route, Reeve tells Vincent the mysterious soldiers are from Deepground, a group born from secret experiments that took place underneath the Shinra Building meant to create a new breed of supersoldiers that would have no sense of morality, and Azul belongs to their elite unit known as the Tsviets. Vincent also learns that, like those in Kalm, people across the world have been vanishing into thin air.



When Vincent reaches Edge, he finds it deserted and meets WRO scientist Shalua Rui. At the warehouse, Vincent encounters another Tsviet named Rosso the Crimson demanding the Protomateria as Deepground needs it to control the final Weapon, Omega. During their fight, Vincent unwillingly transforms into Chaos and unleashes a blast of energy the forces Rosso away but then causes Vincent to collapse. Shalua finds him and brings him to WRO Headquarters, where he learns of Lucrecia's connection to Omega and Chaos. Then a Deepground squadron led by Azul storms the headquarters. As he battles the soldiers, Vincent re-encounters the young girl from Kalm. Shalua is shocked to see that it's her long-lost sister Shelke, who is now a shadow of her former self due to the ten years of torture she suffered at the hands of Deepground. After Shalua and Reeve fail to reason with Shelke, Vincent battles and sedates her.



After Vincent subdues Azul, he goes to Shinra Manor to find answers. He finds a hologram of Lucrecia that talks of her scattered data on Omega, which she had left in the mansion. After recovering the remaining data, Rosso ambushes Vincent and rips the Protomateria out of his chest. Before she can kill Vincent, he is saved by a cloaked Yuffie. Returning to the WRO Headquarters a few days later, Vincent finds it once again overrun by Deepground and a reborn Azul on a rampage. Under their leader Weiss's orders, Azul seeks to kill Shelke for no longer being useful to Deepground and to prevent the WRO from gaining possession of Lucrecia's data within her. Shalua opens a door for the three of them to escape but after Vincent goes through it begins to close, prompting Shalua to place her robotic arm between them. Shalua pushes the reluctant Shelke through the small opening between the closing doors. Vincent tries to open them but they continue to close as the pressure destroys Shalua's arm. Before they close, Shalua exchanges final words with Shelke and asks Vincent to take care of her. Then a loud thud is heard and beige liquid seeps out from under the door as Azul pummels Shalua into a coma.



Unable to understand the point behind Shalua's actions, Shelke requests Vincent to explain to her why someone would give their life for others and Vincent's response causes Shelke to experience one of Lucrecia's memories. Reeve enters and explains the Omega Report Vincent gave him is incomplete, and the remaining data is needed for the WRO launches an assault on Deepground's base in Midgar. Shelke reveals she had previously absorbed some of Lucrecia's data into her mind to study it in order to find the Protomateria. Shelke offers to combine the data with the rest Vincent found in Nibelheim to give them a clearer picture of what they will be up against and regain control of her mind. Aboard the Shera, Reeve completes the Omega Report and Shelke performs a Synaptic Net Dive to provide everyone with a better understand of Omega. The WRO learns Deepground's goal: by sacrificing a vast amount of people untainted by Geostigma, they seek to amass a pure Lifestream to trick Omega into awaking prematurely and destroy the world.



As everyone prepares for battle, Chaos momentarily overtakes Vincent. Having had possession of Vincent's cellphone since the events at Kalm, Shelke returns it to him before he departs after modifying it so he can call her directly for guidance. The Battle of Midgar begins as Deepground attacks and the WRO launches a simultaneous land and air assault while aided by the former members of AVALANCHE. Vincent descends into Midgar on a hoverboard but is thrown off course and lands in the remains of Sector 7. Shelke contacts him on his cellphone and gives him instructions on how to reach the remains of Shinra headquarters and infiltrate Deepground. As he ascends the Central Complex, Vincent again crosses paths with Rosso. They engage in an all-out battle and Rosso is defeated. She tells Vincent that Azul is waiting for him and, not wanting Vincent to have the pleasure of killing her, slices off the platform she is standing on and falls to her death.



Once he reaches the Shinra building, Vincent starts losing control of Chaos again and, in Lucrecia's voice, Shelke tells him about Chaos's nature and how the Protomateria enabled him to control it until Rosso took it from him. Then Vincent gets a call from Tifa, who sends him a map of the Shinra building. As he descends towards Deepground, Vincent battles Azul after which he turns into Chaos, impales Azul with his own cannon and blasts him off the elevator to his death. Vincent continues through Deepground's complex and meets Nero the Sable. He asks what Nero has done with Shelke, and he responds that she is inside him, trapped in darkness. Defeating Nero in battle, Vincent is engulfed in Nero's darkness, but thanks to Chaos, remains unaffected. He finds Shelke is within a cracking shield-bubble and rescues her. After placing Shelke in a regeneration tube so she can regain her strength, Vincent and Yuffie find an unconscious Weiss. Drawing their weapons, Nero consumes them in his darkness but Vincent saves Yuffie and defeats Nero once more.



When Nero stumbles to his awakened brother, Weiss plunges his hand into his stomach and casts him aside. It is revealed that Weiss is possessed by Hojo. He explains that he had originally planned to perfect his body by injecting himself with Jenova cells and merge with Omega but complications arose and, as a back-up plan, uploaded his mind into the Worldwide Network before his death so when it came back online and the fragments of the program reunited, he was reborn in a "neo-Reunion". Then he used Weiss to control Deepground and continue his agenda. Vincent once again nearly transforms into Chaos but a hologram of Lucrecia created by an awoken Shelke implores him to take control of Chaos's power while retaining his human form. He defeats Weiss/Hojo and Nero merges with Weiss, destroying Hojo once and for all.



The main mako reactor is activated and Omega is summoned as Vincent turns into Chaos. Shelke performs an SND to dive into Omega, retrieve the Protomateria, and return it to Vincent, letting him regain control. He connects with Lucrecia, who tells him she is sorry for all the suffering she had caused him but is happy that he survived. Vincent retrieves Shelke and places her outside the Shinra building before flying off to stop Omega. The others shut down the reactors and cut off Omega's power, and Vincent defeats Omega Weiss.



Upon Weiss's defeat, Omega begins to ascend and leave the Planet. Vincent then dives into Omega and forces it back but is disintegrated in the process. About a week later, Vincent is shown alive and well in Lucrecia's Cave making amends. Having forgiven himself for his "sin", Vincent tells her Omega and Chaos have returned to the Planet, or so he thought.

As he was making his way from the cave, something happened that he couldn't rightly explain. There was something that seemed to be like a rift, or a tear in the very air that was around him. Before he could so much as react he was pulled into it, and when he awoke he found himself in some where he did not know, nor did he really understand what was going on after all of it came together in his mind. And thus he did the only thing that he could think of doing. Asking the first people he came across where he was and what all of it could mean.

It was during this that he met a young woman by the name of Celeste, and while talking with her they made the choice to try and clean up and repair an ancient city called Thion. Mostly for those that have lost their way or have no where else that they could go. For those that have come for another world so that they might have a place to belong and a place where they could relax a little bit as to not crack under stress and sorrow.

As this continued, he realized that he was growing rather attached to the young woman and thus he's been with her since. While helping those that come to Thion and even meeting a couple of his friends from his world as well. All in all he has been around Thion and the surrounding areas to get information and helps those that he can.

Another day in this new world, another day to work on getting Thion back up into working order, it was something that was starting to became rather normal, and that was something he didn't mind. He was actually happy to help all of these people, and of course he was enjoying being able to help Celeste and spending time with the young woman. Of course, while he was doing all of this, he was thinking about a great many things. Mainly about the friends that were back on Gaia, back where he had come from as well as why he still had the ability to use Chaos here.

"Perhaps...I still have this power because I will need it here. However I am still not sure as to why I am here, or why all of these people from other worlds are appearing. However getting this place back into full working order will be the best thing to do. Giving them a place to rest, a place to call home for the time being. ...It seems that through everything I've been through I have started to change. For the better."

Of course his mind had been made up. If given the chance or the choice he would opt to remain here, in this new world. Because there were many things for him to see, to learn, and the fact that he was more or less normal and accepted in this place was making a large difference in how he was seeing everything. All in all he was liking this place, he was wanting to stay here to keep it safe. As well as remaining close to Celeste, protecting her, keeping her safe, and to see if the feelings that he has formed to the young woman would go anywhere...
