Vincent was the son of doctor Grimoire Valentine, born in 1950 likely within Midgar. With his family so closely related to Midgar and the Shinra Power Electric Company, as Grimoire was a Shinra professor, Vincent too found himself working under Shinra. He became a Turk, a group of secretive agents charged with bodyguard jobs, detective work, and covering up Shinra's dark deeds. As a Turk, Vincent excelled, being excellent in combat and always carrying an air of professionalism. One fateful day, Vincent was sent to Shinra Manor within the small backwater town of Nibelheim. There, Shinra scientists such as Professor Hojo were carrying out their experiments, as they had yet to move their base of operations to the Shinra Tower. Vincent was set to become the personal bodyguard of Professor Lucrecia Crescent who, unbeknownst to him, once served under his father Grimoire and was incidentally responsible for Grimoire's death. During their time together, Vincent and Lucrecia quickly fell in love with each other, and would go on picnics outside of the town. But Lucrecia was suffering in silence, feeling overwhelming guilt for Grimoire's death, until one day she let everything come to a boil and revealed it all to Vincent. He did not blame her for his father's death, even after hearing everything, but the guilt she felt was too much, and she couldn't bear to be around Grimoire's son anymore. In an act of misguided defiance and trying to run away from her problems, Lucrecia got with Professor Hojo. Hojo and Lucrecia were to bear a child, which pained Vincent greatly, though he he claimed not to mind so long as Lucrecia was happy. He could not stay silent, however, after learning that the two planned on experimenting on their own child, as a part of the Jenova Project. Vincent confronted the two to try and convince them otherwise, but they pushed him aside. Trying one final time to stop the experiments, Vincent confronted Professor Hojo alone. Enraged by the young Turk's constant belligerence, Hojo took a handgun and fatally shot Vincent. Vincent slowly bled out and died, which Hojo only saw as a new opportunity for experimentation. Hojo took Vincent's corpse, and preformed horrible experiments on him; infusing him with the DNA of several horrid creatures. None of these experiments seemed to work, however, and Vincent's body continued to rot. As a result, Hojo discarded the Turk's body, though it was regrettably discovered by Lucrecia. She took the body herself, and sought to resurrect him to make up for all the grief she caused. Lucrecia was placed into a tank of Mako energy and his body experimented on, though Lucrecia didn't simply wish to resurrect him. Her thesis paper, on the old concept of Chaos and Omega, could finally be completed with one final procedure; infusing Vincent with chaos energy. She did so, which, to her horror, transformed him into a disgusting chaotic being——Chaos. Suddenly, with Vincent becoming Chaos, a small orb of Mako energy known as the Protomateria appeared, which, when placed within Vincent, allowed for him to subdue the Chaos form. Still, Lucrecia was mentally broken; the Jenova cells within her didn't allow her her to die, and she was constantly filled with horrific visions of her son, Sephiroth. Out of shame, she fled Shinra Manor and went to an unknown cave to live for the rest of eternity. Vincent awoke in Shinra Manor, now resurrected and a being of Chaos and monstrous DNA. He was horrified by his new form and felt immense grief over being able to stop Lucrecia from experimenting on her son, and so he let out a pained scream. Vincent hated himself, and thought his inability to save the one he loved was an unforgivable sin. As such, he went to the basement of Shinra Manor and climbed into a coffin, where he was to be "punished for his sins" with torturous nightmares, until the end of the world. However, Vincent's exile would not last forever. A few decades of nightmares later, Vincent was awoken by Cloud Strife and his party. They asked Vincent about his past, and asked for him to join them, though Vincent declined. That was, until Cloud mentioned the current state of the world, and how Sephiroth was calling down Meteor. Feeling responsible for Sephiroth's corrupted birth, Vincent joined the party. At last, he was able to face Professor Hojo and Sephiroth, correcting his sins. After an arduous journey and loads of difficult battles, Professor Hojo and Sephiroth were both seemingly killed. Vincent finally felt redeemed enough to venture out, and find Lucrecia within her cave. The two apologized to each other, with her sealed within a large crystal of Mako energy where she would remain. Vincent became a wandering nomad, often seen appearing back to the side of Cloud's party whenever the world was in danger. That was, until three years following the thwarting of Meteorfall. Secret SOLDIERs residing underneath Midgar, known as Deepground, escaped their confinement from Mako Reactor 0 and began to attack the entire planet. Their plan was the awakening of Omega Weapon, but in order to do this they needed the Protomateria; residing within Vincent. This put a direct target on his head, and he was being pursued by the dangerous leaders of Deepground, the Tsviets. Vincent was forced to learn more about the experiments preformed on him by Lucrecia, and thus why he was so connected to the entity of Chaos. Through these revelations, Vincent fused the power of Chaos fully into himself, and defeated each of the Tsviets. At least, he was faced with their leader; Weiss the Immaculate, who actually revealed himself to currently be a mere host body for the once-thought-dead Professor Hojo. After a hard-fought battle against Weiss and Hojo, Vincent came out victorious, finally truly getting his vengeance on the wicked scientist. Omega Weapon's defeat soon came after, saving the entire planet from possible destruction. With his long battle over, Vincent returned to Lucrecia's Cave, at peace. |

Alignment: Neutral Good initially (Vincent is a good-hearted Turk who follows orders but, above all else, does what he believes is right. Although he listens to the commands of his superiors diligently, Vincent will speak-out when he needs to. When Hojo and Lucrecia announced the experimentation they would perform on their child, Vincent pleaded with them to stop and do what was right. Though, when they both turned him aside, Vincent respected their choice and simply sought to do whatever made Lucrecia happy), Chaotic Good Post-Experimentation (After suffering through horrific experimentation at the hands of both Hojo and Lucrecia, and being unable to stop Lucrecia from infusing her child with Jenova Cells, Vincent has exiled himself into a coffin within the basement of Shinra Manor. He's become a ball of self-loathing, believing himself unworthy of forgiveness, nor can he forgive those who hurt him. However, despite this self-hatred and the seeming unwillingness he has to help others, Vincent's good nature is still within him. He will begrudgingly help those in need and even convinced himself to join Cloud's party, so that he may try to redeem himself for his sins. Even when he asks people to leave him out of conflict, like he did during Deepground's attack, he still finds himself helping out wherever he can regardless)
