Vincent has a dark past, one that he carries with him every single day of his life. As a turk he underwent and took care of a lot of business, maybe even more than he wanted to see in his lifetime. One of his last missions was to supervise the Jenova Project in Nibelheim. It was here where he met a scientist who would then complicate his life, Lucrecia Crescent the only woman he ever loved. It was here where they decided to share a future together, but as a scientist her work came first. She decided to be injected with Jenova cells as an experiment and carry this child.
Over time, she began to see visions of what her son would become and became very sick in the process. Her son being the one they call Sephiroth. Vincent confronted Hojo on the matter, which would result in him getting shot by the mad doctor. A down and unconscious Vincent was then used in a certain experiment by the Doctor. This resulted in a few drastic changes giving him the abilities of immortality, strength, stamina, healing, as well as the will or curse to transform into powerful beasts. This left Vincent in a lifeless state, and the experiment was labeled as a failure.
After regaining consciousness in the mansion and left for dead, Vincent was to remain there with nothing to do but sleep and relive the nightmares in his dreams with every passing moment. With a fondness of the darkness he remained in the basement of the Shinra mansion only to find that he has taken drastic changes from his last memories known to be human. Vincent became shocked at what he had become. He regretted not taking the situation before with a higher regard. Vincent believed that this was payment and his sin, not being able to save his love, Lucrecia.
To further his punishment, he locked himself in one of the coffins in the Shinra manor basement to sleep to be some sort of atonement for what he had done. He decided to stay there and sleep away the rest of his life as a way to repay for his dark sin of letting the one named Sephiroth into the world. Alone in a coffin with just his nightmare, he is awoken one day by a man named Cloud Strife and is convinced to join them in bringing Sephiroth and the company that made him this way to an end.
Vincent's weapon of choice is the Cerberus as well as a wide array of pistols that are shot from long range. His dark past torments him frequently as the plot of the game unfolds. His dark powers makes him a great companion and a formidable fighter. Also skilled with a wide variety of different materia, he can make for a strategic fighter being able to attack his enemies with great force.
