Appearance

Vincent is in his early 20s and is characterized by a short, neat hairstyle. His black eyes project an emotionless attitude and contribute to an overall impression of fatigue along with the dark circles under his eyes. His skin is extremely pale, almost ghostly white. Despite his outward expression of disinterest or boredom, Vincent occasionally expresses emotion on his face, such as subtle smiles or frowns. Work clothes Vincent's work clothes consist of a white chef's jacket with elbow-length sleeves, a grey apron hanging around his waist, a pair of black pants, and a pair of dress shoes as footwear. Casual attire During the dinner scene, Vincent's casual attire consists of a black turtleneck paired with grey pants.

personality

Vincent is a very quiet and gruff man, speaking only when necessary and using cutting, no-nonsense one-liners that serve to intimidate those around him, especially towards his employees, particularly Rody. In public, he presents himself as a polite, charismatic, and successful chef, masking the darker aspects of his personality. Despite this seemingly controlled exterior, Vincent is deeply erratic, revealing a brutal and cold demeanor when his control is compromised. His unstable personality goes so far as to be homicidal, as he kills Rody's girlfriend and uses her remains to create a new dish. Vincent's short temper is evident in an incident where he angrily presses one of his chefs' face into a hot stove for not strictly adhering to his instructions. Beneath an appearance of irritability, Vincent still shows consideration for the feelings of others, especially towards Rody. Although he does not mind consuming human flesh, he dislikes the idea of ​​clandestinely serving it to customers.

background

At some point, Vincent lost his sense of taste. However, he soldiered on and studied at a prestigious university, where he took a culinary arts course. He was then successful enough to open his well-established restaurant when he was twenty, a particularly impressive feat, which later led to him being featured in a magazine. Prior to the events of Dead Plate, Vincent is approached by Manon, who showed a passing interest in him. However, Vincent felt that she was using him as a rebound from a breakup, so he planned to reject her until Manon mentioned Rody. After she mentioned Rody, Vincent began forming his plan to murder her.

Vincent is canonically gay. He has a fondness for lemons as his favorite food because the sensation on his tongue vaguely resembles the taste. Vincent's culinary creations are objectively appealing, but Rody dislikes them because of the apparent lack of love infused into the dishes. Vincent has insecurities about the lack of emotional depth in his food. The reward dishes presented at the end of shifts are made exclusively by Vince, not the chefs, and are designed specifically for Rody. The woman who looks like Vincent in the office photo is Vincent's mother. Vincent used to have long hair in college. Although Vincent doesn't like the rat in his kitchen, Vincent generally shows kindness towards animals. Vincent had about 2 ex-partners before starting to break up, expressing discomfort at being dumped. He processes all his food into smoothies because the texture of solid food disgusts him. Vincent had consumed worms during his childhood. Vincent is a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. After eating Rody in endings 2 and 4, he still has no sense of taste and is tormented by the thought that he had killed two people. In French, his surname "Charbonneau" translates to "coal", which may be a foreshadowing of the ending 3. Her birthday is World Food Day. Vincent's handwriting is poor, as seen when Rody enters his office. He worked various jobs in the service industry while in college. Vincent attended college, where he also met the four supposed friends (including Richard) whom he invites to his dinner party. If Vincent had never met Rody, he would have led a successful life, built a business empire, gained worldwide fame, and would have passed away on May 17, 2013, at the age of 68-73, without ever experiencing romantic love.

Some players theorize that Vincent was drunk during the chase scene on Day 7, due to him holding a corkscrew and there being a broken wine bottle in Vincent's office, which Rody can then use to attack Vincent. Vincent smokes in the kitchen of his restaurant, and presumably also smokes out of habit. Judging by the fact that the game takes place in 1968-1969, Vince was born between 1940 and 1945.
