Looks & demeanor
Vincent is a Chondathan man, slightly taller than average, slim and agile, muscled yet not heavy. He bears the Heartlands looks of a fair skin, neck-long black hair and piercing blue-gray eyes. He keeps clean shaven when able to, though recently and due to his travels, he has grown a full face, still short, beard.

Vincent has grown up in fear as a boy, so his defenses forced him to always be serious and quiet. He is an intelligent man, so he mostly relies on tactics, analysis and careful planning. Vincent enjoys peace, longs for quiet times, jokes or the flow of mead, but he never seems able to let himself loose. He is constantly worried and calculating, no matter what goes around, no matter how merry. He is not as stubborn as people may think from his demeanor, but determined on reason and dedicated to a cause. He considers some people friends and may in cases also trust them with his life, but he really is too cautious as to expose himself as a magic user in these lands, resulting to him appearing distant.

Clothing
Vincent wears a dark gray coat with a tall neck, down to his waist, a pair of black-gray trousers and tall black leather boots. He wears a leather armor under the coat and gray gloves to amplify the grip on the sword hilt. He wears a crimson sash around the waist that flows down to his knees. Finally, Vincent prefers to tie up hard leather stripes and cloth around various parts of his body, wherever he feels like the outfit is loose and weighs him down whenever he is in battle. In general, the outfit looks poor to average reflecting the travels and fights it has been through, although the original quality and design are high.

Magical gear
Vincent has a set of unique items; He wears a magical cloak of gray cloth that enhances his defenses against hazards. On his right hand, Vincent wears a full metal glove of extremely detailed workmanship that also magically produces a greater impact with each of Vincent's strikes that find home. Beyond these items, the most valued of his possessions is still his blade. A magic bastard sword that Vincent holds a special bond with, the so-called Storm's Wrath, a weapon able to aid him in combat and unleash tendrils of lightning to strike down foes.
