Vincent Applethorpe

Vincent Applethorpe (5) (also “Vince” (5)) Southern man with green eyes, a measured stride, and a reputation in Riverside.

Vincent first came to Riverside as boy, but disappeared a few years before Season 1 begins. When he returned, he was older and more sober. Riversiders were glad to see him, having assumed he'd died, and some of the more knowledgeable ones had questions when they saw his fighting style. Whether they asked them and whether he answered them is not revealed.

He becomes Tess’s protector (and roommate) and Kaab’s instructor in swordsmanship after besting Kaab when she agrees to fight all comers on Tess’s behalf to see who will take the role.

Vincent has a sister who believes that he runs a shop in the City, and he writes to her regularly to maintain this facade. He has apparently had some experience with and a certain lack of success in love. He is extremely observant.

He takes his profession quite seriously, to the point of taking action when a fellow swordsman breaks the rules swordsmen are supposed to follow.
