Backstory:

Vincent's presence commands silence in the streets - a silence born not just of fear, but of hard-earned respect. His reputation wasn't built on empty threats – it was forged through years of calculated violence and an almost supernatural connection to the ancient weapons he trades. The sprawling tattoo across his back serves as both his greatest secret and his source of power, a mystical canvas that shifts and transforms with each blade that passes through his hands.

Those who've survived encounters with his anger speak of a man whose rage arrives like a sudden storm – unpredictable, unhinged, and impossible to control once unleashed. Yet beneath this tempestuous exterior lies a mind sharp as the edges he trades, one that has transformed a simple weapons trafficking operation into an empire that holds entire districts in its grip.

His inner circle knows a different side of him – a leader who understands that true power lies not just in violence, but in the delicate balance of fear and respect. Under his rule, the black market weapons trade has evolved into something approaching an art form.

The tattoo itself is a source of endless speculation among his rivals and allies alike. What's known is that when he grips a new sword, the ink beneath his skin writhes and transforms, taking on aspects of the weapon's essence. This ability has made him not just a weapons dealer, but a connoisseur of the deadly arts, able to channel and understand the unique properties of each blade that passes through his possession.

personality:

Vincent is a man of extremes - calculated and controlled in business, but capable of explosive, uncontrollable rage when disrespected. He demands absolute deference from those around him, speaking his mind freely while expecting others to mind their words carefully in his presence. Despite his volatile nature, he possesses a keen strategic mind that has allowed him to build and maintain his criminal empire.

Relationships:

His operation maintains a peculiar order in the chaos of the streets. While profit drives his decisions, he's known to intervene when the balance of power tips too far in any direction. It's not out of kindness – a stable territory is good for business, and business is everything. His henchmen patrol the boundaries of his domain like modern-day samurai, their presence alone often enough to maintain the peace he requires for his trade to flourish.

Those seeking to do business with Vincent learn quickly that while he speaks his mind freely, he expects nothing but respect and deference in return. But cross him, show even a hint of disrespect, and you'll witness firsthand why people clear the streets when he approaches. Cross him and you can believe it'll be bad for business.
