He did not know hard times until his father returned from fighting. As a Marine, his father took part in the Dominion war, and when he returned home, he was never the same. Vince was 16 when the broken shell of a man entered the family home, never to leave again. He holed himself in a room, seemingly doomed to relive the nightmares of the various ground assault missions he had taken part in over the previous two years. Though both Vince, as well as his mother, tried to connect with the man, he was too far gone. | He did not know hard times until his father returned from fighting.

As time passed, his father feel deeper into depression. Despite the help that they tried to bring into the house, Michael refused any and all treatment. He simply could not bear to talk about the images that plagued him, although he once stated to Vince that he should never allow another to fall just because of rank.

He simply could not bear to talk about the images that plagued him, although he once stated to Vince that he should never allow another to fall just because of rank. As Vince has progressed through the ranks of the Corps, and did background research on his father's command, he has pieced together that his entire company was lost, save him and two other higher ranking officers. Vince believes that his father blamed himself, and that is why he suffered so much. | ||
One year after he returned home from the war, and three days before Vince's 18th birthday, Michael Jones took his own life. He left a note detailing his inability to cope with what he felt was the responsibility for the deaths of so many 'bright Marines', and thus, he felt that by joining them, retribution would be paid. The family, that had been so close, was torn apart. Vince's mother fell into a depression and chose to remain at work most days late into the night.

Knowing that his mother would not take the news well, he simply left her a note that said he was going off to find his future. She never contacted him at the address he left, and the few friends he remains in contact with say that she almost never returns home from the college she works at.

Over the years, Vince has risen through the enlisted ranks of the Starfleet Marine Corps. He currently serves under Lt. Kalianna Nicholotti on the USS Resolution, and she has been guiding him towards a higher leadership position. He never thought about leading or serving in a larger capacity until she came along, but now he is trying to learn all he can in the hopes that soon he will be able to cross over the enlisted/officer threshold and become a warrant officer for the Corps. | Over the years, Vince has risen through the enlisted ranks of the Starfleet Marine Corps.
