Biography

Early Life

Vincent was born the second child of Mr. Atanasoff. He was named Enreldus, in keeping with his father's theme of giving his children names adjacent to gemstones (his being emerald). His quiet and introverted personality, in stark contrast to that of his older brother, meant that he was often being pushed around and had a hard time getting his way at home. Being the only child to be born human, further isolated him from his siblings. A favoured figure growing up, was his grandfather, whose research into the uses of Sky Stone would inspire Vincent to pursue an academic career and sparked his obsession with the substance.

University and Beyond

By all accounts, Vincent excelled at university. His live in Dragomir was spent furthering his research under the guidance of Prof Krissa, who acknowledged him as her brightest student. After he graduated he continued his studies with his grandfather's help. While working of his first prototype battery, he created the Lightning in a Bottle, which went unstable and caused a big explosion. He survived and moved north to Rekasev, though after the explosion he was presumed dead by the faculty at the University of Dragomir. A short time prior to the events of the campaign, he would be visited by one Mikaela (Thalia under an assumed name). She would befriend the inventor and eventually come to reside in his manor. From there she used his research to help the I.C.M and even got him to tutor Ignacy.
