Vincent Torelli

Vincent James Torelli is an American former gangster and bartender living in Paleto Bay, in 2023. He is known for being Chloe Hill's fiancé and closest confidant. Born into the Torelli family in Alderney to a mobster father, Vincent worked as a business analyst on Wall Street in Liberty City before being outsourced in 2014, and divorced the following year. He later moved to Los Santos in mid-2021 to attend a rehab clinic, but became involved in the criminal underworld; at first with the anarcho-terrorist Underground Syndicate, then with the Martorano crime family. 
In October 2022, he was targeted by Nikolai Kalinov due to his relation to his wife Chloe Hill, and was relocated by The Maccaviti to Paleto Bay, where he works as a bartender. While in Paleto Bay, Vincent and Chloe had a child together, Olivia. 
==Early History==
Vincent Torelli was an accountant in Faraday Securities Corporation, an investment firm on Wall Street in Liberty City. In 2014, following near bankruptcy, his company outsourced most of the accounting positions to cheaper labor overseas, and Vincent was unemployed. He turned to alcoholism, and his wife Abigail left him in 2016 with the divorce finalized a year later. He spent the next four years working odd jobs and security for shopping malls. As his alcoholism worsened, he took a twelve step program in late 2020. In July 2021, his sponsor, a wealthy man, gave him enough money to go to Los Santos in order to attend a special rehab clinic.
While in Los Santos, Vincent worked as a garbage man and would frequently be robbed by local gangs. Eventually, he began to grow marijuana with a man named David The Angel. This endeavor turned mostly fruitless, as Vincent would repeatedly get robbed at the farms. He returned to being a garbage man.
== Involvement with the Underground Syndicate==
In October 2021, unsatisfied with his current career, he turned to a contact he had in the underworld and was recruited into the Underground Syndicate by Melody Frey, during a cancer awareness event on the Del Perro Pier.
In early December, Vincent Torelli witnessed the near fatal attack of then Underground commander Charlie Bankshot, during a money laundering mission in west Los Santos. Following this, Underground leader Melody Frey supposedly violently attacked other members Sean O'Malley and Edward King. When this happened, a rift occurred in the gang, and Vincent de facto left the Underground to join the "Israeli Crew" of the East Side Vagos, led by Lansley Seid and David Levine. Vincent also created association with the mafia in Los Santos, but also angered the Changretta crime family when members of East Side Vagos shot at them. Vincent was tortured for information, with his left hand's pointer finger cut off and fed to him. It was later replaced by prosthetic surgery in Liberty City.
Following an altercation and subsequent non-fatal shooting of Elijah Taylor, Vincent was hunted down by the Changrettas and Underground. He was later shot by Melody Frey, Elijah and several members of the Changrettas, including their leader Marcus Falcone. He recuperated at a hospital, but with serious injuries. In late December 2021, the Israeli Crew fell apart due to increased attacks from the Changretta family, Underground and police investigators. Vincent turned free agent and hid in various places across Los Santos.
In early January 2022, Vincent made amends with Melody by promising to hunt down and torture David Levine for betraying Underground and threatening to gang-rape Melody. Vincent was admitted back into the organization without any friction from its members, and continued to commit robberies with them. On January 22, Vincent lured David Levine into a mock-up store robbery job off the Palomino Freeway, where him and his friend were ambushed. David was tortured and brought up to the top of Mount Chiliad in upstate San Andreas where a propaganda video was filmed. He was later forced to walk blind down the mountain.
Throughout February, Vincent maintained high relations with the Underground, before an FBI probe into the murder of a prison guard forced Vincent and Grace to disassociate from the syndicate. In the meantime, Vincent went on to briefly become de facto leader of the Torelli's Los Santos faction, leading a crew of Italian heist men in late February and early March 2022, with Grace Adams serving as an accountant. Eventually, with the permission of James Jr., the crew was essentially absorbed into the Underground and dissolved, though Vincent continued to maintain connections on behalf of Alderney.
Following the rocky end of engagement between Vincent and his ex-fiancee Grace Adams, the pair began to distance themselves from each other and the Underground, leading Vincent to eventually join the mafia.
In early July 2022, Vincent Torelli left the Underground Syndicate. 
==Involvement with the Los Santos mafia==
In early May, Vincent became associated with the Martorano crime family, being inducted by Ben Ruggieri.
==Personal life==
In late January 2022, Vincent began a relationship with Grace Adams, a car mechanic from Arizona. They were later engaged, though complications related to financial issues caused the couple to disengage and distance themselves. They were totally separated by late June.
In May and June 2022, Vincent Torelli was in a relationship Melora Studheart and Alejandra Garza. It was also around this time that Vincent met Chloe Hill for the first time, at the Pharaoh beauty shop in Del Perro.
Throughout mid and late July, Vincent and Chloe bonded heavily, becoming best friends.
==Injuries==
*Gunshot wound to the area under his right eye.
Though the bulk of the bullet was extracted, some bits of lead remained in his brain for months, causing lead to enter his bloodstream. Much of the lead was removed a few months later by neurosurgeons, but the effects still remain - seizures, hallucinations, bouts of psychosis and an incredibly high likelihood for cancer. This attack also led to blindness in Vincent's right eye, gradually worsening since the time of the attack. His usual boxy glasses were prescribed by the neurosurgeons in Liberty City.
* Left pointer finger cut off.
It was later repaired with prosthetics in Liberty City. However, Vincent still lacks total control and feeling of what remains of his left finger.
*The word "RUSSIAN" carved into his back with a broken glass bottle.
The scar still remains, as well as permanent nerve damage. Pain still lingers, even after more than a year since the attack.
*Multiple stab wounds on back, caused by a ballpoint pen.
Permanent nerve damage, and slight trauma to the spinal cord. The scars still remain, as well as lingering pain, which has induced a hunch in Vincent's gait.
==Murders committed by Vincent Torelli ==
* Chatterbox, October 2021
In late October 2021, Vincent Torelli was tasked by the Underground Syndicate to kill a local prankster known as "Chatterbox", at the Del Perro Pier, for vandalizing cars. He stabbed him repeatedly, caved his head in, gutted him and spread his body parts in three different places in upstate San Andreas.
* Unnamed teenager, November 2021
In November 2021, Vincent Torelli, who was then a part of the Eastside Vagos gang in Los Santos, murdered a prospective teenage member of the gang by pushing him over a ledge in downtown Los Santos.
* Unnamed civilian, November 2021
In late November 2021, Vincent Torelli was on a store-robbing mission with the Eastside Vagos. A civilian witness randomly drove up to the event, and Vincent antagonized him before eventually gunning him down in cold blood.
* Two prison guards, January 2022
In early January 2022, Vincent was responsible for beating two prison guards to death in the Bolingbroke Penitentiary. He went unpunished for the crime.
* Max (prison guard), February 2022
In February 2022, Vincent Torelli and several members of the Underground Syndicate, including Melody, firing-squad executed a prison guard named Max, in the hills near Lago Zancudo. Grace Adams was a witness. This is also the only murder where Vincent Torelli has a confirmed involvement, according to the FBI's forensic analysis tying the bullets in Max to a gun illegally owned by Vincent, though charges were never brought against him, yet.
* Two Valentine brothers, March 2022
In late March 2022, Vincent Torelli and the Underground Syndicate, as well as members of the Lost MC, ambushed and held up two brothers in the Valentine family. After interrogation from the two organizations, Vincent beat them to the ground and beheaded both of them with a hunting knife, later delivering their heads outside an apartment building in Del Perro.
* Raymond Cirillo, June 2022
In early June 2022, Vincent Torelli, Brandon Conradina and Rocco DiFiore, working for the Martorano crime family, lured associate Raymond Cirillo to Rocco's apartment. Rocco struck him over the head with a crowbar, before all three joined in to mutilate him viciously. At the burial site near Paleto Bay, Vincent cut off the penis of Raymond, stuffing it in his mouth due to his homosexual behavior. The trio buried Raymond in a shallow grave.
* Blackeye "Nasar", October 2022
During The Maccaviti's rescue mission for Vincent Torelli at the San Fierro hospital, he killed a Blackeye - one of Kalinov's supernatural agents - in his hospital room.
