| Vincent's uncle, Gaspar Cargan, was a particularly hardened royalist but was tempered by his brother's inclination for patience. This relationship didn't end well and the uncle along with a young Faria Carver poisoned the parents (Vincent remembers overhearing them in the castle gardens while climbing a tower) and became steward of the young Duke, Vincent's elder brother. | Vincent's uncle, Gaspar Cargan, was a particularly hardened royalist but was tempered by his brother's inclination for patience.

| - | His uncle and Faria seemed convinced by an old Cargan prophecy that said that one day the Leader would return to Acryn as the final and greatest Salic King. Faria attempted to force the prophecy with a ritual to bring an avatar of the leader into human form. Vincent was selected as younger and more malleable (not to mention expendable should the ritual go awry), but his brother threatened suicide to protect him and Faria's hand was forced. | + | His uncle and Faria seemed convinced by an old Cargan prophecy that said that one day the Leader would return to Acryn as the final and greatest Salic King.

| He remembers the ritual and Faria's voice shouting prayers to the leader, at the last minute however shadowy figures appeared from nowhere and a fight broke out.

The last he saw of his brother was him running off to make another trail to follow, ensuring his brother and sister's safety. The orphanage was run by an old friend of the family who in an effort to conceal the twins from the various people who came looking for them paid a local witch to conceal their memories.

He can only assume, given the location of the orphanage was lost, that the upheaval prevented this happening. |
