===1987 Vincent: His Last Name===
Many fans have chosen to use "Wells" as Vincent's last name. This, however, is fanon.
 
In June 1988 at Space Trek, Ron Perlman stated in an interview conducted for Beauty and The Beast (Beauty and the Beast fanclub newsletter) that "Vincent doesn't have a last name that I'm aware of. It may come out that he does." from Beauty and The Beast (Beauty and the Beast fanclub newsletter) v.1 n.3 
In June 1988 at Space Trek during Perlman's Q&A session on stage, a fan asked him about the last name. She reported that "Vincent's last name? "Gugglioni", according to Mr. Perlman in a penchant for an Italian ancestry..." from Passages #3
