Nocte
Mr. Vincent Antares (a.k.a. Vodka)
Written by: Null Kit
I'm no stranger to data-gathering on difficult subjects, prying into things that others would rather have left alone, but this one has proven to be especially frustrating: Not only is information scarce as it is, but newer information is actively curated and taken out of the system as its made, lending credence to my theory that this particular man has someone very influential looking over their shoulder. The various agents and countermeasures I've had integrated into this data-cache should protect what little I've manage to scour from the matrix from a similar fate, but I can't even be sure of that. Save a copy, if you have the opportunity. 'Nocte' is the provisional alias to one Vincent Antares, an Elf of the rare variety birthed before the awakening who, after an indeterminate period of magically-influenced slumber, has returned to the sixth world, seemingly for the sole reason of furthering the unknown objectives of his current primary employer, one Jean-Claude Daemonis. His services are available as a hitman and infiltrator, and while I can personally profess to him bringing a great deal of talent and dedication to the job, I cannot guarantee he'll jump at every offer you give him. He's weirdly selective about what he does and I have yet to find a trend that sticks beyond two different runs. What I can say, though, is he's someone who will help you move a body. Not out of friendship, unlike that old cliche; he just understands how inconvenient it is to have a corpse laying around.Physical Description
General Physical Condition
What few medical records I've managed to save from data-buffers before their subsequent curation shows Vincent to be of an Elven metatype, roughly equivalent in physique and age to that of a human male in his late twenties. Physique is as expected from someone in a physically taxing lifestyle, with commentary pointing towards abnormalities in ligament and dental structure. Numerous scars are present of all kinds, from lacerations to burns to hypertrophic healing.
Once saw the guy without his shirt; he was stitching himself up in Frangelico's lobby. Guy's more scar tissue than skin.
He's got his own suture kit, too. If it gets to it, he'll make sure your insides stay in until you can get better help. Just don't expect analgesics.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
So much of this is unknown to me at this time, I can only speculate to an overwhelming majority of this man's lifetime. All I know for certain is that Vincent is likely an elf from before the Awakening, and he's spent a good chunk of his time in some manner of deep coma in the confines of a stone sarcophagus, somehow immune to the ravages of the decades that would pass in his slumber, and the target of an extraction from a mutual benefactor.
The sarcophagus is currently in the posession of said benefactor, research-notes pending.Upon removal from the sarcophagus Vincent, still dressed in clothing of an undetermined pre-awakening period, immediately awoke from his stupor and began behaving in a manner resembling HMMVV-positive individuals, loudly stating a desperation for 'human vitae'. Owing to Vincent's then-lacking experience of the sixth world, he was eventually pacified from small-arms fire but managed to fatally wound and exsanguinate two subcontractors in the process. Subsequent interrogation showed an apparent lack of knowledge of the time that had passed in his slumber, let-alone what happened in that interim, (leading to an understandably high level of panic and culture-shock). Still restrained and kept under watch by no less than three seperate gunmen, Vincent was handed over to Barkeep to be transferred to the contractee. Eighteen days later, the very same person was sat at the same barkeep's establishment, discussing what alias he would like to operate under. Details of subsequent contracts Vincent has been subsequently involved as a subcontractor of The Cabinet are avilable but all other details remain a carefully curated secret.

Mental Trauma
Given what I do know about him, this is something I don't want to know about; I'd suggest you not dig further, chummer.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Unknown again; I can't get a read on this knife-eared reprobate.
Have you considered that I might just be bored? Also, I appreciate the write-up; this amused me.
Development of this data-cache is being put on hold until someone tells me who gave him login credentials without my knowledge or consent. This is a datacache for shadowrunners, not a fucking clubhouse.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
The full scope of Vincent's talents is as of yet unknown in its total scope. What I can be certain of is an unsettlingly high level of competence in fields related to assassination and contract-killing, showing aptitude in matters of marksmanship, close-quarters-combat, physical infiltration and disguise. Analysis of captured footage from experts in such matters shows an appropriately 'old school' approach, eschewing extraneous equipment and technology in favor of simple throwback firearms and personal abilities.
Don't make the mistake of thinking his throw-back style's ineffective. A knife in the back is still a knife in the back.
Relationships
History
I have little evidence to support this beyond my own experiences, I must admit, but there is no doubt whatsoever that these two have some degree of shared history together, one that demands a great degree of subserviance from Vincent towards Jean-Claude.
