[h1]Vincent Carini[/h1]
[h3]"Money is Power."[/h3]


[b]Name:[/b] Vincent Alberto Carini 
[b]Age:[/b] 21
[b]Race:[/b] Caucasian - Sicilian
[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]University and Degree:[/b] Finance and Business, London South Bank University.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Vincent is a well-tanned man of a slim stature. His face is thinner than that of the photo but only just. He stands at 5 feet and 9 inches. Vincent keeps his black hair short and combed and his face shaved. His brown eyes have a shrewd look to them, someone intent on surviving and thriving. He usually dresses presentably, even when relaxing. You'll rarely see him in something like a graphic T-shirt or jeans. While in shape, Vincent is no athlete. Despite the dangers that threaten him, he has other people to protect him so he sees no need to maintain his body the way a warrior would.

[b]Personality:[/b] Vincent is by no means, a weak person. On the contrary, his family and lifestyle required him to be strong mentally. He's willing to make the tough calls and decisions that others would crumble under the stress of it all. Vincent isn't afraid of anything. Except his family that is, and that's exactly how his...'employers' managed to get him. Vincent is a manipulative and merciless person by nature, which would make him a fantastic businessman. His chief philosophy above all else is survival of the fittest, if anyone or anything proves a liability to him, he will make sure to snuff it out. He's a person that, despite his misfortunes in his life, is used to being in control. So you can imagine his rage when someone comes along and tells him what to do and he listens with no will of his own.

He's ambitious. He wants that power and make no mistake, he will do whatever he can to get it.

[b]Biography:[/b] 

Vincent Alberto Carini was born on June 1st, 1996 in New York City to a dying family. A family of mobsters that is. He was the first born and heir to the Carini power base. He was raised in preparation for such a position, the family's last hope of regaining power in New England. But this grooming, like a King's tutor grooms his son for the throne, made Vincent resent his family and the whole business. Nevertheless, he did what his family asked and as he grew, he began to take on their philosophies. He was never particularly fond of his family and he became enemies with his siblings and cousins as they got older because of the position Vincent would inherit by birth. It was as if Vincent's entire family was a den of vipers and he was the unlucky rat.

Vincent was always good at math and excelled at it in school, along with extracurricular activities such as debate and classes like Speech. He was simply gifted with a silver tongue and he knew how to use it. Despite being a skinny, nerdy kid who was good at math, he didn't have a moral inhibitor. It was taught to Vincent very young that this world would chew him up and swallow him if he didn't know how to defend himself. So the first time a bully stepped up to him, Vincent took his fork and slammed it into the bully's thigh and swiftly grabbed his food tray and swung it into the side of his would be tormentor's skull. Vincent was skinny, but he wasn't a pushover. When confronted about this by his teachers, Vincent convincingly wove a tale of harassment and abuse and desperate defense of his life. The bully was expelled and Vincent was simply suspended for a day. That's how it was and how it had always been. No one messed with Vincent Carini in school and when they did, no one would forget it.

But as Vincent neared the end of high school, he became paranoid. His father was old and sickly, and the Carini family had a reputation for offing each other for positions of power. His fears became reality when he was jumped on his graduation night and beaten senseless with a warning on a note card tucked into his pocket. Vincent knew he was no one's favorite, not even his mother's, sad as that is. He knew that it was too dangerous for him to stay. So he sent in an application to a school in London, where the Carini family's influence didn't reach. He was accepted into the London South Bank University. Fall of 2014, Vincent left New York and headed for London without even saying goodbye. He knew that even if his father died, Vincent would still be alive and no one could take head of the family so long as he survived. So out of country was the safest bet.

Vincent had arranged his own bank account a year prior to leaving with everything he need. His father's accountants handled the financial affairs but they were a pack of fools and it was easy to divert what he needed from the family fund undetected. He disappeared into London, going to school, making friends (surprisingly, some he didn't use for his own gains) and generally living the life of a college student. It was good and although Vincent maintained a healthy paranoia, he was content. Until 'they' found him.

He doesn't know who they are or where they're from, but they know of his family and his fears. They threatened to tell the family that Vincent was in London AND that he had been stealing money from them. While Vincent didn't consider it stealing since he was the firstborn of his dying father, head of the Carini family, he doubted his snake of a mother would see it like that. If they wouldn't kill him in his sleep, he would be stripped of all he owned and thrown in prison on their orders. They may be a dying family, but they still have powerful friends. So, it was almost impossible to refuse on those terms and he became their...'employee.'
