History
Vincent has led a hard life since he was a child.... He was raised by assassins. At the age of 4, the assassins gave him a knife for the first time. For starters, he was to kill a rabbit he once still played with. He resisted from this act for many days. He received blows from other assassins. They considered him weak they decided, so they got rid of him. They brought in another boy Vincent's age, this one killed the rabbit and Vincent watched. The child at that moment was swallowed by deep darkness his blue eyes lost their luster. Vincent's peer moved on him bringing out a thrust. Vincent caught the boy's wrist with both hands stopping the blow, stood with his foot on his opponent's leg, struck out slightly with his other leg behind his peer's back. He wrapped his left leg around the boy's neck then kicked out with his right leg wrapped around the boy's neck and wrestled his right leg over his left leg. He shifted his entire body weight to the right side knocking down his opponent as well as himself. As they lay on the ground Vincent had his legs entwined around the other boy's neck and the hand in which he held the knife was between his legs. He forcefully strained the other boy's arm and then broke it. He let go of his opponent got up on his feet and began to pound him with his legs and fists until he crushed his skull.
After the rabbit-killing incident, five years have passed. Vincent's first assignment was given to a rich merchant from Montera. He invaded the merchant's property at night, slaughtering all the guards one by one. He then entered the merchant's house carried out the murder of his wife, and 12-year-old daughter. At the very end, he grabbed his target and slashed his leg muscles so he wouldn't be able to escape. Vincent's order was: "Kill them all, let them all die. The merchant, on the other hand, is to learn the true meaning of the word pain." Vincent showed the merchant the body of his wife and daughter. The man broke down tried to beg the boy to spare him, but the man slowly cut off the target's toes. Then his toes, he caught a pincer on the merchant's property, which he later put in his ear. The boy waited and listened to the merchant's screams, at the very end he shoved the knife down his throat. He had no more time to torture the dead man as the neighbors called the guard. Vincent escaped by hiding behind houses, staggering around the city the guard lost track of him. In the early morning he fled the city into the woods and that's all they saw of him....
At the age of 16, Vincent was nicknamed the Black Reaper. He carried out many more murders than other assassins. Sometimes it was the assassins, those who are supposed to kill, who died. For Vincent, it didn't matter who his targets were. He always did his job. Many times he faced those stronger than himself, but even those quickly lost faith in his abilities.
The Assassins Guild to which Vincent belonged was captured by orcs and killed. He was the only survivor, and has hated the orcs to the marrow of his bones ever since. Vincent's only option was to flee the continent. He had a lot of gold so it was not difficult to rent a ship, crew, buy the necessary provisions. All this took about a week. The journey to Khorinis took, many days. Provisions were slowly running out, the morale of the sailors was dwindling. It might have seemed that the end was near. One stormy night, when a storm was raging on the waters, something hit the stern of the ship. Everyone fell to the planks. The strikes on the ship kept going until the ship sank. After two days, 16 survivors woke up on the beach among them was Vincent. When the survivors got their act together they decided to choose a leader for themselves, it fell to Vincent. He accepted the position and his first order was to go to the Colony.
After arriving at the colony they initially searched for treasures, they went to the volcano where there was supposedly a dragon with a huge treasure. While there, instead of treasure, they found some kind of red crystal. Vincent the moment they touched the crystal he lost consciousness. In his head he heard a voice talking about the fourth true god Arghtor. This voice chose Vincent to be his Enlightened Self, and gave him the power of the ancestral crystal. After Vincent's awakening, he gathered his 15 companions, took the crystal and they went to a mountain fortress. There, at the age of 20, he founded his brotherhood....
After forming an alliance with the paladins, he made enemies in necromancers and orcs. He saved the asses of the paladins, but paid for it with the lives of many of his brothers. An individual called Shadow slaughtered all the people in his camp and set fire to the fortress. Honestly Vincent facing a demonic werewolf and an orc troop wouldn't stand a chance. So he offered an exchange to the greatwolf. Crystal of the Ancestors for peace of mind for the fanatics. The necromancers caught the hook, and walked away leaving the fanatics alone. But after this event, something in Vincent changed. He lost himself in the power he drew from Arghtar and became something like his master. The gurus who were outside the camp surrounded the dragon's cave with a barrier. So that it was there that Vincent could vent his anger
