Background:
Vincent Valentine was a member of the Turks, Shinra's special forces unit. As part of his work, he often came in contact with Shinra scientist Hojo and his assistant, Lucrecia. Vincent and Lucrecia soon became close, and fell in love. However, Lucrecia was still dedicated to her work. She volunteered for a project to create a clone of the prehistoric creature known as Jenova. The clone was created inside her own body, but she fell ill while carrying the child. Enraged, Vincent confronted and threatened Hojo. The scientist had him restrained, performed all manner of twisted experiments on the man, and had him sealed in his lab, never to be unlocked.

Many, many years later, Cloud Strife's team of adventurers came across Vincent in the old Shinra lab. They told him of the crisis facing the planet, and of their enemy, Sephiroth. Vincent recognized the name: it was to be the name of Lucrecia's child. Realizing Hojo's role in this, Vincent agreed to join their team and work against Shinra.

Personality/Motivation:
Vincent is a loner. He holds himself responsible for what happened to Lucrecia and for the creation of Sephiroth, and wants to atone. He is driven to act against Shinra, particularly against Hojo and his creations.

Tactics/Powers:
The experiments have altered Vincent in many ways. He was gifted with a couple of unusual abilities, neither of which he enjoys. Firstly, he has the ability to fly slowly; secondly, when angered he can transform into a demonic "Galian beast." This form however robs him of most of his skill and intelligence, and can only blindly attack.

Vincent is also a trained shot with a pistol, and carries one named "Quicksilver" with him.

Appearance:
Vincent is a very tall man, with ragged, long black hair and deep red eyes. He has a darkly handsome face. His body was apparently twisted and deformed by the experiments; he always wears heavy black clothes and a red cloak to hide himself. He wears a fingerless glove on his right hand; his left arm is so disfigured that he hides it under a metal sleeve.

Notes:
Due to the bizarre nature of Hojo's experiments, Vincent Valentine was granted the ability to transform into a monstrous alternate form, although he is usually loath to do so. Upon transforming, his is immediately healed of damage. In this form he goes out of control, savagely attacking the enemy with no regard for his safety or his allies. He either slashes wildly with his claws, of fires a volley of flaming spheres at his foes.

The Galian Beast is a muscular, hunchbacked creature with a thick purple hide. It has powerful claws, a pair of long horns, a long snout full of sharp teeth and small, beady eyes. Note that the "charge" on his multiform is recovered by spending as much time in human form as in beast form.
