Role in GTA Online

The Diamond Casino & Resort (2019): Vincent is the casino's Head of Security. He helps hold off the Duggan family's attacks in Casino - House Keeping and Casino - Bad Beat. At the end of Casino - Cashing Out, Thornton Duggan takes over the casino and fires him, saying the family will handle security itself.

The Diamond Casino Heist: A few months later Vincent is a mall cop at Rockford Plaza. In Heist Prep: Security Intel, the player recovers a vehicle stolen from the mall, and in return he hands over a USB key full of casino security data as revenge on the Duggans. He also mentions that he is suing Thornton for wrongful dismissal.

The Chop Shop and The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid: By 2023 Vincent has joined the LSPD. In early 2024 he finds out that a new cartel is making cocaine at the Cluckin' Bell farm in Paleto Bay, and that his fellow officers are helping it. He meets the protagonist at Vespucci Police Station. To prove the corruption, he points out a dealer who has sold drugs outside the station for ten years without being touched. He then leaks two money-laundering fronts so the crew can fund the raid. He sets up a base in an old FIB lockup on Clinton Avenue and arranges for Miguel Madrazo's fence Jorge to buy the stolen product. During the deal he literally looks the other way and refuses a cut.

Bottom Dollar Bounties and later: Once the player owns a personal police vehicle, Vincent hands out Dispatch Work over the radio. New Dispatch Work jobs arrive with Agents of Sabotage and A Safehouse in the Hills.

Personality

Vincent is friendly, honest and fond of long, flowery sentences.
