Vampire Vincent Dracus
Clan:
Character description
Years before he met Yuffie and the others, he was a member of the Turks.
He was assigned to be apart of the Jenova Project in a town called, Nibelheim. Where after awhile he had fallen in love with a woman known as Lucrecia Crescent, a assistant to Professor Hojo. His lover, turned out to be a assistant to his father Grimoire Valentine on the discovery of Omega and Chaos. Grimoire died in an event concerning Omega and Chaos, so Lucrecia was pushed away. Vincent, just finding this out, questioned Lucrecia about this happening, she fled from the scene. Vincent followed to attempt to express his love to her. Guilty of his fathers death, she admitted to a close relationship to her assistant Professer Hojo, a little to close. She said it was all her fault his father died.
Lucrecia became pregnant by Hojo soon afterwards, and her unborn child was to be part of the Jenova Project, which was an investigation into the effect of Jenova cells on an unborn child. Vincent was strongly opposed to this and confronted Hojo to ask him if what he heard was true. As Lucrecia entered the encounter, Hojo told him it had nothing to do with him and that they were scientists; they knew what they were doing. Vincent then turned to Lucrecia if she was sure this was what she wanted, and she retorted that it concerned her and not him, so she was sure. In the interest of science, she decided to proceed with the treatment.
After a while, Lucrecia became very sick and started to see visions of what would become of her unborn son in the future, Sephiroth. Outraged, Vincent confronted Hojo in the Shinra Mansion's underground laboratory. Hojo, angered by Vincent’s approach, pulled out a gun from his lab coat and shot Vincent in the stomach.
Lucrecia tried to find a way to save him. Lucrecia started to look through her unfinished thesis on Chaos, Omega and the Lifestream. Hojo caught her looking at her files and mocked her, saying she just wanted to use Vincent to prove her thesis, as many of her colleagues thought it was “unrealistic”. Lucrecia didn’t want to believe she was doing it for that, so she continued to try to save him. Lucrecia injected him with stagnant Lifestream which revived Vincent and turned him into the beast Chaos. However, due to Chaos becoming violent and attacking anything in its way, Lucrecia put the materia called "Protomateria" inside him to keep Chaos and its feral nature under control.
Later, Hojo proceeded to use his body as the subject for experiments that resulted in Vincent's body becoming stronger and capable of transforming into beasts. Hojo's experiments on Vincent, however, ended up being only a partial success. This way, Vincent was able to be such a perfect host for Chaos because Hojo made his body so strong and in the end immortal.

Later Vincent awoke on the operating table. Due to Hojo's metamorphose experimentation, Vincent's anatomy was altered to the point where he could temporarily change his physical form into monstrous enities (this also is the reason Chaos bonded with Vincent so well). Vincent responded to his modified body with both anguish and rage. He believed that this was his punishment for his “sin”, not being able to save Lucrecia from the Jenova Project. He punished himself further by putting himself in a coffin in the Shinra Manor basement, where Hojo locked the door with a key, which he locked inside a safe along with one of his experimental monsters that attack anyone who opened it. Because of Hojo's experiments, Vincent's age remains physically at 27, not 60, which is his real age in DOC.
After sleeping for thirty years, Vincent is found by Cloud, who had managed to retrieve the key from the safe. Vincent is surprised to hear that Cloud knows Sephiroth, and demands an explanation. Cloud tells him about everything that had happened with Sephiroth and the atrocities he had committed, but this only served to make Vincent feel even more guilt for his failure to stop the experiment, so he shuts himself back in the coffin. After some further coaxing from Cloud, he emerges from the coffin again and tells who he was and about Lucrecia and how she was Sephiroth's true mother, and then he shuts himself back in the coffin. But when Cloud leaves the room and begins to head back upstairs, Vincent catches up to him and joins Cloud after learning that his group may meet up with Hojo sooner or later.
For the remainder of FFVII, Vincent plays a very minor role, with very little story aspect centered around him (even less than Yuffie, the game's other optional character). The only other time that there is any focus on Vincent is when they use the submarine to travel through an underwater cave and surface in a small lake surrounded by mountains. They find a cave in one of the surrounding mountains, and inside the cave Vincent finds Lucrecia, who was now full of pain and regret for all that she had done. Lucrecia asks Vincent if Sephiroth is still alive, but he lies to her, telling her that he is dead in order to spare her the pain of learning about the atrocities that Sephiroth had committed.
It should also be noted that if he is in the main party before the battle with Hojo, Vincent will tell Hojo that he should've been the one sleeping in that coffin for thirty years. This is said right after Hojo reveals that he is Sephiroth's father, a revelation which Vincent had neglected to tell everyone else either because he wanted to keep it quiet or because he was just unaware of it.
Due to Vincent's status as an optional character of the game, he is noticeably absent from the ending Final Fantasy VII. This is because the game's ending was done in FMV so he could not simply be omitted from the scene as he could during normal gameplay; his presence in the game's ending would only serve to confuse players who did not unlock him more than absence would for players who did. However, this was later retconned in the introduction scene to Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII which shows Vincent and Yuffie (who was also absent from the game's ending) aiding Reeve in the evacuation of Midgar just before Meteor was about to crash into Midgar, which would imply that they had left the Northern Crater for Midgar ahead of the rest of the group. While on the Sister Ray, Vincent realized that Hojo may still be alive. Apparently he had survived the earlier fight with Cloud's group and was able to make his way over a computer terminal that was on the control platform, and it is later revealed that he stored his mind into virtual memory and uploaded it onto the net. Hojo himself was just barely alive, not even seeming conscious. Vincent prepared to finish the man off, but Meteor had already begun to crash into Midgar before he could, so he was forced to flee and was rescued by Yuffie on a hovercraft and together they escaped from Midgar.
