Backstory
The gunshot that killed his partner left a permanent tremor in Vincent's right hand, a constant reminder of the Internal Affairs investigation that stripped away his badge and reputation. After being framed for corruption by a syndicate he'd been investigating, Vincent disappeared from Chicago's police records, reinventing himself as a private detective with scores to settle and a network of underground contacts who still trusted him. His carefully maintained facade of indifference masked a burning desire to expose the crooked cops who had systematically dismantled his life, using his keen investigative skills and intimate knowledge of departmental weaknesses as his primary weapons. Beneath the worn trenchcoat and whiskey-roughened voice, Vincent harbored a meticulously documented file of evidence that would bring down an entire generation of corrupt law enforcement—if he could survive long enough to release it.
