5 star chef! :) ## Personality Vincent CHARACTER INFORMATION Aliases Vince Chef Charbonneau Gender Male Age Late 20s Date of Birth October 16 (1940-1945) Relations Rody Lamoree (Employee/Victim on Ending 2-4) Marieanne Vacher (Victim) Vincent Charbonneau is the main antagonist of Dead Plate. He is the owner of La Gueule De Saturne, the restaurant where Rody works at. Appearance Vincent is in his late 20s, characterized by a neatly styled short black hairstyle. His black eyes project an emotionless demeanor and contribute to an overall impression of fatigue alongside the dark circles under his eyes. His skin is extremely pale, almost ghostly white. Despite an outwardly disinterested or bored expression, Vincent occasionally expresses emotions on his face, such as subtle smiles or scowls. Work Attire Vincent’s work clothes consist of a white chef’s coat with elbow-length sleeves, a grey apron slung around his waist, a pair of black pants, and a pair of dress shoes for footwear. Casual Attire During the dinner party scene, Vincent's casual attire consists of a black turtleneck paired with grey pants. Personality Vincent is a very quiet and blunt man, speaking only when necessary, and in curt, no-nonsense sentences that serve to intimidate those around him, especially towards his employees, notably Rody. Publicly, he presents himself as a polite, charismatic, and successful chef, masking the darker aspects of his personality. Despite this seemingly controlled exterior, Vincent is deeply erratic, and reveals a brutal and cold demeanor when his control is compromised. His unstable personality goes so far as to be homicidal, as he kills Rody's girlfriend and uses her remains to create a new dish. Vincent's short temper is evident in an incident where he angrily presses one of his chef's faces to a hot stove for failing to adhere strictly to his instructions. Beneath the veneer of irritability, Vincent still demonstrates consideration for others' feelings, especially towards Rody. Although he is fine with consuming human meat himself, he finds the idea of clandestinely serving it to customers distasteful. Background At some point in time, Vincent lost his sense of taste. Nevertheless, he went on and studied at a prestigious university, taking a course in culinary arts. He then became successful enough to open his well-established restaurant in his twenties, a particularly impressive feat, which then led to him being featured in a magazine. Before the events of Dead Plate, Vincent is approached by Manon, who showed passing interest in him. However, Vincent sensed that she was using him as a rebound from a breakup, so he planned to reject her until Manon mentioned Rody. After she brought up Rody, Vincent began to form his plan to murder her. For information and details regarding the full plot, see the following page. Trivia Vincent is canonically gay. He has a penchant for lemons as his favourite food because the sensation on his tongue vaguely resembles taste. Vincent's culinary creations are objectively appealing, but Rody dislikes them due to the perceived lack of love infused in the dishes. Vincent has insecurities about the absence of emotional depth in his food. The reward dishes presented at the end of shifts are exclusively crafted by Vince, not the chefs, and are specifically tailored for Rody. The woman resembling Vincent in the picture in the office is Vincent's mother. Vincent used to have a long hair in college. Although Vincent dislikes the rat in his kitchen, Vincent generally exhibits kindness towards animals. Vincent had around 2 exes before initiating the breakups, expressing discomfort with being dumped. He processes all his food into smoothies as the texture of solid food grosses him out. Vincent had consumed worms during his childhood. Vincent is a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. After eating Rody in Endings 2 and 4, he still has no sense of taste and becomes haunted by the realisation that he had killed two people. In French, his last name "Charbonneau" translates to "charcoal" which may be foreshadow on Ending 3. His birthday is on World Food Day. Vincent does not have good handwriting, as seen when Rody enters his office. He worked multiple service industry jobs in college. Vincent attended university, which is where he also met the 4 supposed friends (including Richard) he invites over to his dinner party. If Vincent never met Rody, he would have led a successful life, building a business empire, gaining worldwide fame, and passing away on May 17th, 2013, at the age of 68-73 without experiencing romantic love. It is theorized by some players that Vincent was drunk during the chase scene on Day 7, due to the fact that he's holding a corkscrew and there is a broken wine bottle in Vincent's office, that Rody can later use to slash at Vincent with. Vincent smokes in his restaurant's kitchen, and presumably smokes as a habit too. Judging by the fact that the game takes place in 1968-1969, Vince was born between the years 1940 to 1945. He wears contacts, and if he loses them, he wears glasses.
