Was this ever mentioned in the series?


I was only 3 years old when this tv series started airing and remember watching reruns with my babysitter years later. I've always wondered this. How did Vincent end up being the beast?

reply

He was born like it. One character did tell a story about his mother that is generally believed to be a fabrication designed to enrage Vincent.

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

The show did insinuate an answer, but it was never proven to be true - I love to read fanfics on the subject of how Vincent came to be -there are so many interesting ideas out there

Direct quote from the pilot "I was born, and I survived."
