Appearance

Vincent is a tall man wearing a grey shirt but wears a ragged brown coat in the film's climax. He has long unkept hair and the right side of his face is disfigured, he has to use a mask made of wax to hide it. The right eyehole of his mask has an "X" shaped slash, hinting his missing eye.

Personality

As a kid, Vincent was always kind to his parents and was always cooperative, however later on in life following his parents death, his twin brother Bo began to abuse him verbally and physically which led to him falling under his brothers evil ways. As seen in the film Vincent has become a mentally ill murder who listens to his twin brother and remains loyal despite after his abuse. However, despite his cruelty, Vincent is not a sadist, he probably doesn't care about the murder process itself, unlike Bo, but he may actually like turning people's bodies into wax figures, but most likely he does it because of Bo and because of the desire to continue his mother's work.

Past

Vincent and his twin brother Bo were born in the town of Ambrose to Trudy and Victor Sinclair in 1970. They were born with a form of craniopagus, with the side of Vincent's face fused to the back of Bo's skull. They were separated, permanently disfiguring Vincent. Because of this, Trudy would make wax masks for his son, presumably using Bo's face for the mold. Vincent is shown to have been very calm and collected as a child. Whilst his brother throws a tantrum, Vincent simply continues eating his cereal. It is heavily implied that Vincent either cannot speak or chooses not to. Sometime after his parents death, but before the events of House of Wax, Bo, Vincent, and their third brother Lester began to lure people into the now-abandoned town of Ambrose, killing them and coating their corpses in wax for Vincent to sculpt into lifelike sculptures for their wax museum. It is possible that this was happening before Trudy's death, as Bo mentions to Vincent that they must finish what their mother started. It is unknown if this was truthful, or a facet of Bo's manipulation toward his brother.

2005

Six friends — Carly Jones, her twin brother, Nick, her boyfriend, Wade, her best friend, Paige, Paige's boyfriend, Blake, and Nick's friend, Dalton — are on their way to a football game in Louisiana. They decide to camp for the night and pull off to the nearby wooded area. As they are getting situated, a stranger in a pickup truck visits their campsite, shines his lights and refuses to leave or address them until Nick smashes one of his headlights. The next morning, Wade discovers that his car's fan belt is broken. Carly and Paige wander into the woods, where Carly tumbles down a hill and falls into a roadkill pit. After rescuing her, the group meets Lester, who offers to drive Carly and Wade to the nearby town of Ambrose to get a new fan belt, while the rest of them go to the football game. Upon arriving in Ambrose, they find the town virtually deserted. Unable to find an attendant at the gas station, they wander into the church, disrupting a funeral. There, they meet Bo, who offers to sell them a fan belt after the funeral. While waiting for the services to end, Carly and Wade visit the 'House of Wax', a wax museum which itself is made of wax and is the central feature of the town. The gas station does not have the right size fan belt, so they follow Bo to his house. Carly waits outside as Wade heads in to use the bathroom. However, he is incapacitated by Vincent, who wears a wax mask to cover his disfigurement. Carly notices Bo's broken headlight, recognizing the vehicle as the same one that tormented them last night, and flees the area to look for help. Bo sees this and runs after her. Vincent shaves Wade and straps him to a specialized chair, engulfing him in boiling wax, but the wax does not kill him. Meanwhile Nick, Dalton, Paige and Blake realize they will not arrive at the game in time and return. Nick and Dalton arrive in Ambrose to find Carly and Wade. Nick finds Bo and confronts him, while Dalton finds the museum and heads inside.

2005

There Dalton finds Wade, unable to move but still alive, and tries to peel the wax away from his body (which only pulls off his skin). Vincent appears, and slashes the side of Wade's face off with a machete, killing him. He chases after Dalton and later decapitates him. Afterward, Vincent searches for Paige and Blake, who are back at the campsite preparing to have sex. Blake hears a noise - Vincent turning off his radio - and gets out of the car to check. Vincent attacks, and impales him through the neck with a machete. Paige runs off to the town's abandoned sugar mill to hide, but Vincent follows. He kills her with a pipe through the forehead. He loads Paige and Blake's bodies into the back of his truck and heads back to the house. Nick and Carly return to the house to find Wade and Dalton's respective bodies. When Bo and Vincent return, they chase Carly and Nick to the House of Wax. Nick accidentally sets the house on fire, causing it to melt. Bo attacks Carly, who bludgeons him to death with a baseball bat. As a enraged Vincent tries to fight them off he is overpowered and falls through the floor, landing on top of Bo's body with his face to his brother's head. Carly and Nick barely escape as Vincent and Bo's bodies are buried under the molten wax.
