Vince is a main character and determinately an antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. He is one of the six protagonists of "400 Days", where he has his own personal story.
Overview[]
Vince is a sensible person with good intentions. However, he can be quite cold and brutal, murdering a man begging for his life, which eventually gets him arrested. He later can state that he was doing it to help his brother. Vince's attitude is generally up to the player's decision. While in the prison bus, Vince can either act friendly or rude to Danny and Justin, but generally acts calm and composed usually acting as the voice of reason. When a fellow prisoner, Marcus, starts choking Jerry, Vince can either go Danny's way and try to help stop the situation or take on Justin's more pragmatic but also cold mindset of letting the guards handle it. To escape the prison bus, Vince is forced to make the tough choice of shooting either Danny or Justin to escape, but in the end does so with little hesitation, showing he's willing to do what's necessary to survive.
Whoever Vince saved will determine whether he goes with Tavia. If Vince saved Danny, he remembers what he learned from him, being to always sticking together no matter what, which leads him to ultimately decide to not go with Tavia. On the other hand, if Vince saves Justin, he reveals that Justin had abandoned him to find a community, which motivates Vince to do the same and go with Tavia. Later, Vince is shown to be a trusted member of Carver's group and is completely loyal to him. When he catches Tavia smoking, he decides to tell on her to Carver not wanting to face punishment for covering for her.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Macon, Georgia[]
Nothing is known about Vince's life prior to the outbreak, except that he was convicted of shooting a man named Carlos in Macon in order to protect his brother. He flees the scene, and can either choose to hide the weapon or keep it. Regardless of the choice made Vince is caught and convicted, and taken aboard a bus to serve his sentence in prison.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Season One[]
"400 Days"[]
"Vince's Story"[]
Vince's story starts 2 days into the outbreak, a point where most of the world's population remains ignorant of the outbreak, and the story follows his arrest and his adjustment to the outbreak along with his fellow inmates. He is being transported to a prison in a prison bus, chained to two other prisoners; a rapist named Danny and a white collar criminal named Justin. Danny and Justin pass the time by pulling the connected foot chains to agitate each other and bicker over it. Vince chooses to either let them keep fighting or make them stop. As they settle down and start talking, the question of how Vince ended up in prison is brought up. Vince chooses whether to tell them or not. The three continue to chat until a verbal dispute between two prisoners, Jerry and Marcus, across from them breaks into a physical altercation. The trio watch in shock as Marcus garrotes his handcuffs around Jerry's neck to strangle him to death. The two police guards stay behind their gate and Danny wants to help; Justin disagrees. Vince chooses who to side with. If Vince chooses to side with Danny, then the latter will try to get over to prisoners; sadly, the chain will be too short to reach forward. One of the guards, Bennett, takes action and opens the gate to point his gun at Marcus. After asking him to stop several times, Bennett shoots and blows off his head. Vince is shocked, and even Bennett is stunned at his own actions. Danny gets mad at him for not calling someone to help and they begin to get into an argument, which is cut short as Jerry reanimates as a walker and bites Bennett on the neck; killing him. The walker heads toward Vince, Justin and Danny and they ask the other guard, Clyde, behind the gate for help. Instead, he panics and flees the bus. The three work together to reach down so Vince can grab Bennett's gun and shoot Jerry. They search for the keys to free themselves, but realize it's more than likely to be left up front. Danny attracts the attention of another zombie, but it is unable to attack them as the front gate between the back seats and the driver's seat separates them. Vince can try to shoot off the chain attaching them together, but to no avail. A dilemma is reached when Vince has to decide whether to shoot Justin's or Danny's ankle locks so they can get out of the connecting chains. Depending on the choice, Vince will shoot twice at the ankle locks of either Justin or Danny and leave the person to die while he gets off the bus with the other person.
In-Game Decision[]
Vince is given the choice to shoot off the connecting chain to free himself and his friends. When that doesn't work, Vince has to shoot either Justin's or Danny's ankle lock to free them, though it comes at a cost of one person's life.
Shoot Danny's foot: Vince shoots Danny in the ankle twice and severs his foot in the process. Vince and Justin escape while Danny is left for the dead, he is then most likely eaten alive by zombies outside the bus.
Shoot Justin's foot: Vince shoots Justin in the ankle twice and severs his foot in the process. Vince and Danny escape while Justin is left for the dead, he is then most likely eaten alive by zombies outside the bus.
"Epilogue"[]
400 days after the outbreak, near Gil's Pitstop, Vince joins with Bonnie, Russell, Wyatt, Shel, and Becca to set up a campsite. They are approached by Tavia with an offer to join a survivors' community.
Vince's choice in either going with Tavia or to stay in the group's campsite depends on the choices he made on Day 2 of his story. If Vince chooses to shoot Danny's foot, then he will accept Tavia's offer. If Vince chooses to shoot Justin's foot, then he will reject Tavia's offer.
In-Game Decision[]
Vince accepts Tavia's offer (Unknown): If Vince joins Tavia's community, he reappears in "In Harm's Way" of Season 2.
Vince stays at the camp (Unknown): If Vince declines Tavia's offer and stays at the camp, he will not appear, leaving his status unknown.
Season Two[]
"In Harm's Way"[]
Vince appears in this episode only if he accepted Tavia's offer. He is a now a member of Carver's Group and is seen arguing with Tavia about smoking.
