Vincenn's story begins in the heart of New Rushaya. His earliest memories unfold within the solemn confines of the Cirice of the Holy Jaws, a haven for orphans and forsaken children. Born in 1943 AA, he was abandoned shortly after birth. A whispered tale followed him throughout the years, claiming he was the illegitimate offspring of nobility, his lineage shrouded in mystery. To Vincenn's discerning mind, this tale was easily dismissible—a mere invention meant to give him, and others like him, a semblance of importance.

​

Within the austere precincts of the Cirice, Vincenn grew up in modest comfort, his daily sustenance assured. Yet, the institution’s rigid rules and the firm discipline of badger Abbess Carini Veleslava smothered his spirit. His restless soul craved the world beyond, and as he matured, he began to relish the unfettered liberty the city offered.

​

From an early age, Vincenn idolized the parading soldiers, perceiving them as valiant champions who brought honor from distant lands. But the circumstances of his birth made military service an elusive dream—an honor reserved solely for those of esteemed lineage. Frustration fueled his growing violence, leading him into the city's gangs as a teenager. He even briefly rose to leadership, revealing his latent talents. However, smuggling proved too mundane for his aspirations.

​

After stepping away from the underworld, Vincenn grappled with a sense of aimlessness—until war erupted. The League's invasion of Karanor assembled one of the largest military forces in its history, and every realm clamored for soldiers, regardless of heritage. Armed with standard gear and marching orders, Vincenn embarked on a journey to the frontier, where he found his proudest moment.

During the grueling trek northward, he forged bonds that grew into steadfast camaraderie. Upon reaching Karanor after an exhausting two-month march, the foremost fortresses had already fallen. However, Vincenn bore witness to Lieren Astrasa’s ascension to the esteemed rank of Saber-General. With newfound authority, she curated her own legion, shedding excess baggage in favor of competence. Though not an immediate member of her elite ranks, Vincenn seized an opportunity to prove himself during a minor skirmish. His triumph in battle swiftly earned him a place in the Twelfth Legion.

​

Within a year, he rose to the rank of Beta-Lieutenant under the mentorship of a superior officer, who later lost his life during the pivotal Battle of Orcrim's Valley. In the wake of that decisive engagement, Vincenn assumed the mantle of Alpha-Lieutenant, leading his own squad.

​

With each victory, his pride swelled, and his loyalty to Lieren deepened. He unwaveringly rejected offers of further promotion, resolute in his desire to honor those he deemed more deserving and trustworthy.

​

Vincenn became an esteemed veteran within the Legion, his influence reaching the upper echelons of command, while his enduring friendships flourished in the high quarters of power. Later in life, he acquired a charming seaside cottage in Marser, a city in Jastro. He invited two of his previous lovers, Tarka and Saren, and together, they raised four hybrid children in an unconventional family arrangement. Vincenn fathered two more children with the felines, cherishing their domestic haven—until duty called him back to the Legion.

​

However, his life soon became embroiled in a scandal that threatened to unravel everything he had worked so hard to build. Vincenn fell in love with Sorina Grimclaw, a warwolf and member of his own squadron. When she became pregnant with Vincenn’s child in 1970, the Department of Purebloods, outraged by his violation of the laws governing warwolf breeding, sought to have him removed from the Legion—and executed.

​

In desperation, Vincenn accepted a shadowy contract that took him to Eirden. In exchange for his services, his benefactor promised to arrange for the charges to be dropped and the entire scandal swept away. But Vincenn soon realized he and the other mammals assembled for the task were pawns in a much larger game—one that threatened the survival of the Fürstin and the future of both Eirden and the Principality of Vulperi.

​

Through an uneasy alliance, Vincenn unmasked the true culprit, preventing fox lord Asher Beleghest from seizing control of Eirden. In recognition of his efforts, and with the political maneuvering of his allies, Vincenn managed to have the charges against him dismissed, allowing him to marry Sorina.
