Personality
Vincent is a leader who acts with his subordinates, never missing a chance to help the investigators who are on the field as he prefers to stay in Amsterdam and sending his subordinates to work on cases. Vincent is kind and caring to those he had worked with even with his difficulties articulating his words when talking in person, which leads him to prefer to contact people through his phone. Vincent very much cares about his friends in Mercurius and his colleagues.

When talking to people he barely knows, Vincent puts up a face of apathy and disinterest as he prefers to not talk because of his anxiety. Vincent does this as he often said that he is not a good speaker and negotiator, often he puts the duty of talking and negotiating to the other members of Mercurius.

Talent
Starry Night (星月夜) is the Talent of Vincent van Gogh which manifests as a Tablet which allows him to record the details of the lives of everyone he has ever interacted with. When Vincent is under stress, Starry Night corrupts into a Talent which randomly shuffles the five senses.

Background

The three of them became close friends because of their Talents; along with that Netscher and Rembrandt constantly helped Vincent whenever he would face mental illnesses.

After their graduation, the three of them decided to start Mercurius after a talk with Katsushika Hokusai when the three first met him. He decided to start the company after encouragement from Hokusai with Vincent himself as the leader, Netscher as his secretary and Rembrandt as their detective. Vincent himself uses his Talent in order to help those on the field by giving them information.

During his work in Mercurius he would still keep in contact with his siblings, Theo van Gogh and Wil van Gogh. Somwtimes would sometimes spend his holidays at Theo’s place.
