Vincent de Boule considered himself of pure aristocratic stock<ref>"I, Vincent de Boule, of pure aristocratic extraction, will owe you money. You should be happy." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and claimed to be a lord, vacationing in [[Kunan]]<ref>"Permit me to introduce myself. I am Lord Vincent de Boule, at present vacationing in these parts." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. He also claimed to be on his way to visit [[Joshua Levenheit]] of the [[Knights of the Dragon's Den]]<ref>"I am presently on my way to meet Joshua of the Knights of the Dragon's Den." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.


After escaping paying for a bill in [[Antei]], he journeyed to the [[Dragon's Den]] where he attempted to persuade the gatekeeper to allow him entry, claiming to be a close friend of Joshua's<ref>"Vincent here is a dear friend of Joshua's. If Joshua finds out you turned Vincent away, he'll be furious." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Refused, he showed [[Hero (Suikoden)]], [[Flik]] and [[Humphrey Mintz]] a secret entrance into the cave, where he claimed to play as a child<ref>"Ah, nostalgia. I would come to the Dragon Knight's Domain to play when I was a child. So I know the area well. You can enter the domain from behind this rock. I played in this spot often as a child." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. He did not accompany Tir and the others, however, citing his nobility<ref>"That is a foolish question. A man of my birth would never sneak in like a common burglar." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Vincent de Boule was a member of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] aristocracy. He was very much a natural noble, enjoying poetic conversations, hosting elegant tea parties and always making sure to be at the cutting edge of aristocratic fashion. During the [[Gate Rune War]], he was rescued from imprisonment in [[Moravia]] and he would immediately join the [[Toran Liberation Army]], embracing [[Hero (Suikoden)|its leader]] as a soul mate.


He was later captured by general [[Kasim Hazil]] and imprisoned in [[Moravia]]<ref>"God, what an awful creature that Kasim is, suddenly locking me up in this place." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> along with [[Viktor]] and [[Warren]]. He was freed during the [[Toran Liberation Army]]'s rescue attempt on the castle, and proclaiming eternal gratitude, vowed to aid Tir by joining the Liberation Army<ref>"I, Vansan, in the name of friendship, renounce my aristocratic standing and swear to fight by your side." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Following the fall of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], Vincent returned home where he claimed his inheritance<ref>"Returns home and claims his inheritence." - Vincent de Boule's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Although a noble, he lost his title after the Gate Rune War, when the new [[Toran Republic]] abolished the Scarlet Moon nobility. Vincent was still entitled to receive his inheritance, however. After that, he would use his funds to study abroad. He would be in [[City-State of Jowston|Jowston]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]], where he would join the [[New State Army]] after hearing how [[Hero (Suikoden II)|its leader]] had helped his friend, [[Simone Verdricci]].


==Noble status==
Following the war, he intended to continue his studies in the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]]. Along the way, he would stop to enjoy himself with his aristocratic friends.
Vincent's noble status, especially in the first [[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]], is something of a mixed issue. Vincent himself declares himself to be an aristocrat<ref>"I, Vincent de Boule, of pure aristocratic extraction, will owe you money. You should be happy." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, whereas the inn owner declared him a fraud<ref>"Liar! You're no aristocrat!" - Owner ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. He also tried to talk his way into the Dragon's Den for reasons unknown<ref>"What a thing to say. I'm telling you who I am for your sake. Vincent here is a dear friend of Joshua's. If Joshua finds out you turned Vincent away, he'll be furious. You're new here, aren't you? There's still time to do the right thing." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. He was refused entry but whether he was lying<ref>"Tell any more lies and you'll be sorry!" - Gatekeeper ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> or victim of an unfortunate coincidence is also a mystery<ref>"Oh, I see. The last time I was here was a little over five years ago." - Vincent de Boule ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.


Flik declared him a fraud in Antei<ref>"But that swindler did say he was going to the Domain of the Dragon Knights." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> but also called him aristocratic scum at the Dragon's Den<ref>"Heh! Listen up, aristocratic scum! If this is an entrance, why didn't you use it yourself?" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Whatever the case, whether he was a true fraud or a noble fallen on hard times, it appears his inheritance ensured his status by [[Suikoden II]].
==Personality and traits==
As a nobleman of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], he was very much a soul mate of other aristocratic-inclined individuals such as [[Simone Verdricci]], [[Milich Oppenheimer]] and [[Esmeralda]] and often took tea and chatted with them. However, it was not only people similar in manners to him who Vincent could consider a soul mate.
 
As well as declaring [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] a dear friend for rescuing him during the [[Gate Rune War]], he would later consider [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] his bosom friend, for aiding Simone during the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Although it may seem like Vincent dispensed this title freely, he did not, in fact, devote himself lightly. He merely had several close friends whom he held a sincere respect for.

Biography

What I'm trying to tell you is that you have the honor of being owed money by me for a little while.

—  Vincent de Boule

Vincent de Boule was a member of the Scarlet Moon Empire aristocracy. He was very much a natural noble, enjoying poetic conversations, hosting elegant tea parties and always making sure to be at the cutting edge of aristocratic fashion. During the Gate Rune War, he was rescued from imprisonment in Moravia and he would immediately join the Toran Liberation Army, embracing its leader as a soul mate.

Although a noble, he lost his title after the Gate Rune War, when the new Toran Republic abolished the Scarlet Moon nobility. Vincent was still entitled to receive his inheritance, however. After that, he would use his funds to study abroad. He would be in Jowston during the Dunan Unification War, where he would join the New State Army after hearing how its leader had helped his friend, Simone Verdricci.

Following the war, he intended to continue his studies in the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. Along the way, he would stop to enjoy himself with his aristocratic friends.

Personality and traits

As a nobleman of the Scarlet Moon Empire, he was very much a soul mate of other aristocratic-inclined individuals such as Simone Verdricci, Milich Oppenheimer and Esmeralda and often took tea and chatted with them. However, it was not only people similar in manners to him who Vincent could consider a soul mate.

As well as declaring McDohl a dear friend for rescuing him during the Gate Rune War, he would later consider the leader of the New State Army his bosom friend, for aiding Simone during the Dunan Unification War. Although it may seem like Vincent dispensed this title freely, he did not, in fact, devote himself lightly. He merely had several close friends whom he held a sincere respect for.
