His father was a made-man, and worked for the Family before Vincent was born. Vincent was essentially indoctrinated into a life of crime by his own father, although he was taught to only do what's necessary to survive.

## Liberty City

Vince moved from Vice City to Liberty City at the age of 20. He took an oath in front of The Family two years later and became a made man. He would do anything they asked him to, from sabotaging opposing businesses, collecting loans, to the occasional house-painting.

## Los Santos

In 2021, The Family asked Vince to move to Los Santos and begin seeding the roots of their operations in the city. The goal was to monopolize any businesses, legitimate or criminal, for the family.

### April 2021

#### Arrival

Vince arrives in Los Santos. He immediately runs into Anthony Boccino and Otaku Oscar due to a car accident. After being a victim of an accident caused by a short-lived race between the three indviduals, Vince attempted to make an insurance claim on the two fellow criminals. This did not work however, and they moved on.

#### The Race

Vincent particpated in the city race held by Mayor John Appleseed and Freddy West, being an experienced driver, Vince won the race and won the Autarch Super Car in result. After winning the car, it immediately broke down due to Mr. West using it in the race beforehand, in which Vince met Crazy Tony along with Landon Campbell for the first time. The Mayor's bodyguard, Joey Vick came to assist Vince to help the car move again, as well as properly putting it under his ownership.

#### Confrontation

Later that same day, Vince was held up at a Xero Gas Station next to Grove Street by both Tony, Oscar, as well as Benny, Freddy West, and Landon Campbell. The police arrived shortly after, causing everyone to disperse. Vincent was the only one to get away, causing suspicion that he was a snitch amongst Tony and Oscar. A few hours later, Freddy, Oscar, Tony, and Benny were on the lookout for Vince's car, in order to ask him about how he got away. They saw him on the LS Freeway, and stopped him, where they questioned him, beat him, and stole his brand new super car.

Vince later participated in multiple city events attempting to find his place, and to begin the operations he was sent to Los Santos to begin with.

### May 2021

Vince found a home at Benny's Original Motor Works where he worked as mechanic security. He became good friends with Abraham Slinger, Austin Miyat, and Azrail Gordon. He spent most of his time patrolling the outside of the mechanic shop in order to protect him and his fellow mechanics from Vagos, and various super villains prevalent at this time. Vince convinced Austin and Azrail to come with him to learn how to run weed in and out of the city, where they were confronted by Ace Hart. Ace confronted Vince, while Vince was in disguise, questioning him about what he was doing, while incessantly monologuing to himself out loud.

Afterwards, Vince decided to give his car to Joey Vick in exchange for his Elegy Retro Custom. The Autarch, being an expensive car, made Vince a repeated victim of Grand Theft Auto. Immediately after getting Vick's Elegy, Ace Hart stole his car again and kept it out of Vince's hands for hours.

Vincent eventually began having bigger dreams, feeling resentful towards the city for heavily taxing himself and his fellow car enthusiasts. He suggested to Austin Miyat and Kiryu Kazuma that they learn about zer0, and take from the very people that took from them. They searched for hours in order to find a way to rob the Vangelico Jewlery store, or a Fleeca bank. Following the breadcrumb trail, they ran into Benji Clemente, who joined their search for answers. Vince was aware that Anthony Boccino was aware of this information, and offered to trade his Elegy Retro Custom (which he had only owned for a day) in exchange.

Immediately after selling his car, he had learned that Tyrone Jones was giving out the information for free, meaning he had almost trade his car for nothing, but it had actually guaranteed him any future information on zer0. Tony then decided to take Vince to a Fleeca bank job, due to him feeling as if he Vince was ripped off for the information.

### June 2021

Vince was beginning to become more and more involved in Tony's crew. After the tyranny of The Don being long over with, Tony, still grieving the loss of his wife and child decided to take up the vacant slot in the Family's ranks. Vince was more than willing to take up a job involving The Family, as that is why he came to Los Santos in the first place. They began to run Fleeca and Vangelico jobs together, with a high rate of success.

Vince was fired from Benny's Original Motor Works due to him being caught with 25 Kilo's of Heroin on him, that he had forgotten about. Joey Vick decided to give Vince a second chance, and let him work at the Diamond Casino and Resort as Casino Manager. This was a complete and utter mistake, but nonetheless Vince took the job. As casino manager, Vince didn't really do much of anything but bring more heat to the casino due to his involvements with Tony.

The Family was officially formed, and had laid their claim to La Fuente Blanca as their home. Vince was given the rank of Capo, alongside Tyrone Jones, Jerome Washington, and Harry Roberts.

After a botched hostage situation at the beach near Great Ocean Highway, Vince was caught with an illegally obtained police-issue shotgun, after being shot by David Tremblay. He was interrogated by Bobby Prescott at MRPD, with his legal counsel present. Joey Vick, gives up and demotes Vince to a bartender at the casino, which Vince refuses and decides to quit, as he doesn't appreciate the strings attached of working for the district attorney while simultaneously being a criminal.

### July 2021

After deciding to no longer work at the Casino, Vince knew he needed to have cashflow coming into his account. He decided to take up a managerial role in The Family, in order to streamline operations. He began recruiting, and keeping track of individuals who are capable of earning lots of capital in a short amount of time.

### The Grandfather

After Anthony Boccino was put on house arrest, and wanting to take the heat off of Don Tony, he developed a persona, nicknamed, **The Grandfather.** A disguise similar to the disguises used on jobs, Vince adopts a voice, different mannerisms, hairstyle and outfit in order to completely distance himself from his true identity. The Grandfather is a red herring, depicted as the patriarch and head of the entire Mafia's operations. His story is that he has come from Sicily to check on the operations in Los Santos. The Grandfather has taken over hiring associates for the Family, in order to prevent Vince's involvement with the Family from becoming public knowledge.

The Grandfather is another geriatric character, a persona of Vince, similar to Granny Smathers or Teddy Brosevelt. However, being the head of a criminal organization makes him slightly more serious, and ruthless. He is not actually insane, or old, he's fully aware of what is going on and what he should do next.
