Background

Vincent Brooks is the protagonist of Catherine. Troubled by nightmares, he becomes entangled with the mysterious titular blond, Catherine, whose presence threatens the stability of his future with his long-term girlfriend, Katherine. The outcome of his story depends largely on the player's actions within the game.

Persona 3 Portable
A man that appears to be Vincent appears in Persona 3 Portable as an unnamed man drinking alone at the Club Escapade. The man drinking alone gives hints about the game Catherine, asking the player to remember him and that if they ever meet again, he will tell more about his story, also saying that it probably won't have anything to do with the protagonist's problems as a reference to Catherine not having any relation to the story of Persona 3.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Vincent Brooke’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Early life A few references are made to Vincent's mother; she left a man she was dating for someone else, who is the one that fathered him. She left Vincent while he was in high school for yet another man.[1] Vincent comments that he never had a "happy" family, and the thought of having one sounds alien and unimaginable. He never speaks of his father, although in Full Body, Vincent mentions when he was a kid, he collected ninja erasers, but his parents thought his collection was trash and useless knick-knacks so they gave it away, which upset him because while they were unimportant to his parents, they meant a lot to him at the time. Vincent attended elementary school and high school with Katherine, Orlando, Erica, Jonny Ariga and Paul Miller. Vincent and Katherine's friendship was initially antagonistic, as Vincent and Orlando would often steal and eat Katherine's lunch. Though it upset her, she began giving Vincent her snacks, indicating that she had a crush on him. Daniel Kirsch also attended the same school. Daniel constantly felt in Vincent's shadow even as he looked up to him, and spent his childhood life tagging along and trying to fit in with him. This continued through his life. Vincent and Katherine met again during their 10-year high school reunion. Afterwards when she was depressed, Vincent ran to her side in the middle of the night and comforted her. He found out that she was having dating problems and started to give her advice, but ended up falling for her himself. While seemingly romantic, Erica theorizes that Katherine only started dating him because her maternal instincts and dominant personality wouldn't allow her to leave a slacker like Vincent alone. Despite being boyfriend and girlfriend, Vincent and Katherine don't live together for unknown reasons (possibly because of their workplace commutes), although she occasionally visits him to see how he's doing and drop off snacks. The two have been in a steady relationship for the past 5 years, though Vincent isn't interested in taking it to the next level, and Katherine's parents have started to pressure her to marry. This doesn't sit well with Vincent, who is comfortable with their current standing and is afraid to fully commit to their relationship. Catherine Vincent starts the game being plagued with nightmares, where he is forced to climb a tower and face a different boss every night. These nightmares are the basis of a rumor circulating town about a curse, and have even killed an acquaintance/friend of Vincent's, Paul. He begins by having a confrontation with Katherine about his unpaid overtime, as she is upset at him for his inability to stand up for himself. Katherine then brings up the possibility of both of them getting married. He dodges both issues and escapes to the Stray Sheep, where he complains to Toby, Jonny and Orlando about how he wants things to just stay the same. When they leave and he continues drinking, he is approached by Catherine, who seduces him with the thought that she's a girl who is just as terrified with commitment as him, and wants nothing more than her freedom. He wakes up next to her with no recollection of anything that happened. She quickly leaves before he can tell her he's already in a relationship, and he spends the rest of his day discussing the affair and how he should handle it with his friends. As time goes on, he keeps desperately finding ways to avoid both women finding out about each other, despite many close calls. Each night, he finds himself waking up next to Catherine. At one point, Katherine asks him to meet her for lunch for an important piece of news, where she tells him she thinks she's pregnant. Although stunned, he takes slight comfort in knowing nothing is certain yet. This doesn't last long, as Katherine soon tells him (while Catherine is secretly in his apartment) that she actually is pregnant. One morning he awakens to a threatening phone call from a man named Steve Delhomme, who explains that he is Catherine's apparent boyfriend, and demands that Vincent stop seeing her. Frightened by the call but glad to finally have a firm reason to break up with her, he confronts Catherine, who explains she doesn't know anyone named Steve. Vincent then decides Steve must have meant Katherine, and he tries to deal with the implication she is cheating on him before confronting Katherine as well, who also denies knowing a Steve. Things come to a head when he finally realizes he cannot continue with Catherine, and asks her to come to the Stray Sheep. He informs her that he is in a relationship with someone he got pregnant, and wished to tell her earlier, but he had difficulty. Catherine claims that he can continue being with her as long as Catherine is Vincent's "number one", which bothers Vincent. Though hurt and upset, Catherine is still desperate to stay with Vincent, but he says he can't see her anymore, causing her to cry. Catherine says "I'm going to die" and goes to the bathroom. Vincent follows her into the bathroom where she takes her anger and sadness out on him physically by beating him. He won't relent and ends up completely breaking things off, despite her protests. Satisfied about the breakup, he awakens the next morning with no nightmare, no Catherine in his bed, and Katherine at his door. He happily opens it, when Catherine shows up behind him and greets Katherine offering a cup of coffee; Katherine enters and demands to know what is going on. Katherine attempts to get answers from Vincent; after a heated exchange of insults between the two women, Katherine, due to Vincent's betrayal and Catherine's constant insults of her worthlessness to Vincent and Catherine's superiority to Katherine, snaps with despair and moves over the kitchen sink searching for a kitchen knife while still facing Vincent and Catherine but to no avail as Catherine predicted this and took the knife in advance. Vincent attempts to calm down Katherine by telling her that he had already called off his affair with Catherine, causing Catherine to snap with rage and jealousy and Catherine blames Katherine for Vincent's confusion. Catherine claims that if Katherine went away, Vincent could finally be free and attempts to kill Katherine with the kitchen knife. Vincent tries to defend Katherine and is cut non-fatally in his right lower rib cage. As Katherine dashes over the coffee table to escape, Catherine grabs Katherine's hair, shoves her to the floor and a struggle begins. Catherine ends up impaling her abdomen while seemingly having the upper-hand on Katherine while they are both on the ground. With Katherine hysterical, Vincent pulls her from the room only to emerge in a Nightmare with a monstrous version of Catherine chasing them. At the end of the Nightmare, Katherine breaks down and admits she cannot continue on after Vincent's lies. He comforts her and tells her his true feelings. Katherine asks Vincent if he still thought about her during the affair, and Vincent says of course he did. After Vincent apologizes to Katherine, Katherine is still reluctant to escape. The area shakes and Katherine falls down, but Vincent jumps to cushion Katherine. Katherine asks Vincent a question, but doesn't finish it. Vincent wakes up again in bed, and realizes everything about the entire Katherine and Catherine meeting had been a dream. Katherine is again at his door, this time to break up with him because of the affair and tell him the pregnancy was a mistake. Katherine admits that she found that her pregnancy was a false alarm, but didn't tell Vincent sooner despite her relief because she felt that he would leave her. Although she knew her mistakes, she was incredibly scared because his reactions didn't increase her confidence in him, making her question if he would rather leave her with the baby in order to not have to deal with the stress and commitment of being a father. Although Vincent claims he was happy about the news of her "pregnancy", Katherine is saddened because she isn't entirely convinced. Despite his best efforts to stop her, Katherine politely yet firmly breaks up with him and leaves his apartment. Devastated, he sinks into a depression. Vincent, bemoaning his troubles to Orlando, discovers that all of Catherine's contact information and SMS messages (including several revealing photographs) have inexplicably disappeared from his phone. This leads his friends to admit that none of them have ever met or seen her, and causes him to doubt his sanity. Vincent, seeking evidence that Catherine exists, remembers that the only other person he ever heard her speak to: the bartender of the Stray Sheep, Thomas "Chop" Mutton, who accidentally reveals himself to be the orchestrator of the entire recurring-nightmare situation. "Catherine" is a succubus working with him, who takes the form of each man's fantasy woman, to tempt him into cheating. Vincent makes a deal with him to return voluntarily to the nightmare landscape and climb the final levels of the tower, in return for which Mutton will release all other captive men. Vincent, having mastered block climbing techniques, is able to win. Being the main protagonist, Vincent appears in every single ending. Katherine Bad: Vincent begs for Katherine to take him back but she refuses. Katherine Good: Vincent begs for Katherine to take him back, with Mutton and Vincent's other friends explaining to Katherine about Vincent's ordeal. Katherine forgives Vincent and they get back together and resume planning their wedding. Katherine True: Same as the corresponding Good ending, except Katherine and Vincent actually do marry. Catherine Bad: Vincent proposes marriage to Catherine, but she refuses. Catherine Good: Vincent proposes marriage to Catherine, and she accepts; the two live together in the Underworld despite objections from Catherine's father Nergal. Catherine True: Same as the corresponding Good ending, but Vincent is later able to overthrow Nergal, becoming the King of the Underworld with Catherine as his Queen. Freedom Good: Vincent realizes that he does not desire marriage but demands a loan from Mutton which he immediately bets on a wrestling match, but loses.[2] Freedom True: Same as the corresponding Good ending, but Vincent wins his bet and uses the money to engage in space tourism. [3] Catherine: Full Body Vincent's role in Full Body is, for the most part, the same in the original game. However, the game shows more of his history, such as his time in high school and various memories with Katherine. In present day, Vincent also bumps into a mysterious girl suffering from amnesia named Rin. Vincent helps Rin find an apartment right beside his as the previous tenant just moved out. He also helps her get a pianist job at the Stray Sheep, after Rin has a successful job interview with Mutton. Throughout several days, Vincent's friendship with Rin begins to develop. Rin tries to get closer to Vincent at times, which makes him feel uncomfortable. On Day 6, due to a mishap, Vincent finds out that Rin is a male cross-dresser. Vincent reacts poorly, slapping Rin's hand away as a kneejerk reaction. However, this is due to shock and confusion instead of malice. Vincent immediately feels guilt over it, apologizes to Rin after being reprimanded by Erica. Depending on the player's actions, Vincent may choose to prioritize Rin over Katherine and Catherine, which unlocks a new route. Vincent's nightmare in the eighth night is then altered. In it, Vincent sees Catherine defiling Rin's murdered body with a knife, spilling blood all over Rin's piano and toys. Vincent flees to safety in his room, although Katherine tries to murder him too. He defends himself from Catherine and Katherine, but is saved from the real Rin, as the dead one is an illusion, although Rin gets a cut on his leg. Rin follows Vincent in the nightmare stage as they flee from monster Catherine, although Rin gets abducted by the creature. Later, Vincent discovers Rin is still alive and is being held hostage in the nightmares by Mutton. After Vincent defeats Mutton, Rin and Vincent reunite (depending on the route, Rin and Vincent may confess their love and kiss, or they may simply enter the door which defeats Mutton). In the True/Good Ending routes, at the Stray Sheep, they relax and Rin reveals that he belongs to a race which are considered "angels" in Vincent's world. However, they are confronted by a strange angelic-looking being who Rin reveals is his brother. Archangel wishes to bring Rin back home with him, which both Rin and Vincent oppose. The brother prepares to destroy humanity, but Rin convinces him to let Vincent try to prove himself first by partaking in a trial, similar to the preceding nightmares. If Vincent wins, humanity won't be destroyed and Rin can stay with Vincent. Rin Bad Ending: After defeating Mutton, Rin leaves Vincent while wishing him the best. Vincent hopes to see Rin again one day and wants to better himself, so he takes up learning guitar, but sucks at playing it. Rin Good Ending: After defeating Mutton, Rin is revealed to be part of an alien race of "angels" after his brother challenges Vincent to a final challenge to determine mankind's fate; Vincent wins, and he and Rin become a couple. Rin True Ending: Same as the Good Ending but with an extra scene where several months later, Rin is seen performing at a piano concert in space for a group of aliens and Vincent's friends. Vincent reveals that he is working as Rin's music producer, helping to share his piano playing through space. Rin and Vincent get married in the post credits. Katherine Alternate Ending: Katherine leaves Vincent once more, though she eventually gains new self-confidence by becoming a popular model for a fashion design company. Vincent tries to get back together with her but she rejects him. Catherine Alternate Ending: Catherine transports Vincent back to his high school days, where Catherine now appears as a human, falls in love with Vincent and have kids.

YHVH's own universe is more vague and more infinite then anything Nanashi or Flynn have ever seen, where they've seen demons such as Ouroboros, who is the embodiment of infinity, making him an incomprhensibly powerful being. With even YHVH himself noting he is infinity, and he exists as an incomprehensible transcendent being overseeing everything in his creation. He is viewed as an omnipotent existence that created everything . which would mean he created infinite universes, and exists beyond the very boundaries of time within the multiverse. Which would include planes such as Akarana Corridor a void that transcends time and space, with it requiring a special ritual to enter, where even the Herald of Yatagarasu cannot put Raidou into this place, putting it beyond even The Expanse a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse.

Can clear stages that challenge his cognitive abilities. Noted to have skill along with spirit and tenacity. Can keep climbing up floors that get more and more complex. Noted to be a sharp thinker. Noted to have been the only person in this century to reach the Cathedral. One of the few to survive the World of Nightmares, where a person is cursed and destined to die)

The Axiom tasked humans with observing the universe, allowing humans to assign an answer to phenomena without an answer. Dagda mentions humanity's "understanding" (observation) is what's locked him and Danu in physical forms. Nanashi and his party's denial of YHVH cast him into a demonic form. Gods and demons exist within a human's observation. Demons that also exist beyond death can be killed by observation users), Negation of Personal Nonexistence (Ayin Physiology; Can kill The White and demons, who naturally exist within the expanse, which the Monochrome Forest exists within the expanse, a place that is eerily still, having no sound or smell, where even the ground itself feels unusual, which demons naturally exist in.

Other

Standard Tactics: Vincent is not a fighter and normally does puzzle solving so it's unknown how he'd fight.

Weaknesses: Has a finite amount of chances to undo. Demons are weak to mercuric sulfide.

Note: As Catherine and Catherine: Full Body use ancient gods and demons such as Ishtar and Astaroth, it is considered a game apart of the Megami Tensei multiverse. Although Vincet makes a cameo in Persona 3 he is not considered to be apart of that multiverse, as in Persona 3 he remembers his dreams, Katherine is actually pregnant, and it is not the bar he goes to in actual Catherine and Catherine: Full Body. It's also shown that he drinks by himself, which is not the case in actual Catherine and Catherine: Full Body. Another thing to note that Catherine is not in the Persona universe is that in the Persona 5 DLC for Catherine, the Persona 5 cast comes from another universe.
