Vincent Leung

**Vincent Leung** is a Hong Konger and Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian's former employee. He spends much of Act Two acting as an antagonist working for Octavia Manorland.

## Appearance

According to Seigi, Vincent looks like a K-pop star.

He lost a lot of weight in his early twenties, to the point where Seigi did not recognize his wedding photo as being an image of him.

## Personality

Vincent is a very grumpy, disaffected, sarcastic man. He is very cynical about the world in general and Richard and Seigi's future in particular. However, many of his complaints and warning to Seigi appear to be in service of preventing Seigi from getting hurt. Similarly, he holds his wife, Marian, at a distance despite caring about her quite deeply, until the end of Volume 10.

He wishes he could be a hero of justice like Seigi is, but he is convinced that it would be ineffective and he would be a failure at it.

Vincent loves Japanese anime and video games. He is a very skilled gamer and has a vested interest in anime figures.

He's noted to be quite proud of his homeland.

## History

Vincent worked under Richard when Richard had a shop in Hong Kong before he departed for Japan. He had an extensive background in jewelry and gemstone knowledge before being hired on.

Vincent also sold out information on Richard's movements to Jeffrey in exchange for the money he needed for a kidney donation to his wife, Marian, and the assorted medical costs.

## Relationships

### Seigi Nakata

Seigi and Vincent are friends, despite being on opposite sides of much of Act Two, and their personalities both bringing out the snarky sides of each other. They spend a lot of time sniping at each other.

Vincent is also insistent on warning Seigi about his relationship with Richard, believing their relationship is as doomed as his own with Richard's was.

### Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian

Vincent and Richard's relationship is fairly tense. Vincent does not like being compared to Richard and feels that it is impossible not to be compared to him while near him.

Nonetheless, when Richard finally parted from Hong Kong to work in Japan, Vincent made Richard promise to hold onto people he thought could be genuine friends, leading to Richard's relationship with Seigi.

### Marian Leung

Marian originally worked for Vincent's father as a maid. Once her health issues caught up to her and it became clear she needed a kidney transplant, Vincent married her in order to donate his to her without raising suspicion of organ trafficking.

After this, Vincent decided he did not deserve Marian's (very genuine) affection and left to work abroad, leaving Marian largely on her own. Marian says that whenever she would reach out to speak to him or ask him to come home, he would simply send her more money instead. She eventually hacks into Vincent's email and reaches out to Seigi Nakata to ask for his help reconciling their relationship.

Eventually, they do come to term and being a proper relationship and happy, mutually affectionate relationship and have a son together. Vincent also asks Richard to make her a mother's ring in a sudden show of affection.

### Octavia Manorland

Formally, Vincent is hired as Octavia's bodyguard and general errand boy in Act Two. Vincent and Octavia act something like siblings, with Vincent acting as the older brother. They both enjoy playing video games together. They have an extremely affectionate relationship for two people who are both quite terrible at expressing affection.
