*Vincent has always been exceptionally unfortunate. The GM can apply a -1 to -3 modifier on simple and stress rolls depending upon how great a factor luck is in the situation. Essentially the opposite of the Luck Virtue.

Background

Vincent was a younger son of a struggling merchant family in Brittany. He often found himself the target of trouble, having to learn to trust his own guts rather than the whims of fortune. Vincent grew up knowing much more about lying, scheming and swordplay than he did of markets or commodities, and so he decided to strike out and help the first person he came across in need of a good blade.

To Vincent's misfortune, he first ran into the Magus Phorcys Tytali, and even though Vincent was dreadfully afraid of the mysterious individual, he accepted the opportunity to see something new. The Magus brought Vincent to Exspectatio, where Vincent served as a shield grog. Phorcys recognized Vincent's unlucky nature, and more or less released him from service, as he was a bit of a liability. Vincent next found himself working for Magus after Magus, usually until he made some sort of embarrassing mistake. It wasn't until he ended up working for the most loathsome Magus Vincent had ever met that he found some sort of stability. Although Perion seems far less interested in destroying his rivals than the other Tytali Vincent has known, he can't help but feel that something about Perion is far more menacing than the typical destructive spats of the other Magi. He has accompanied Perion to Tugurium.

Appearance

Vincent has a thin head of light brown hair, a wide nose, and a grin that is missing a couple teeth. He is above average in height, but not exceptionally so. As he has grown older, he has started to get a bit of a beer belly.
