Pierce is a fiercely principled man. He has even gone so far as to compose a set of rules for personal conduct which he dubs "Pierce's Rules of Life". The rules are not finite, as more are continually added to the list but Pierce makes it a habit to never break his rules. In his own words, "Much like the Laws of science cannot be broken in nature, I cannot break the rules which govern my being." While he is a very principled individual, he is also a man of contradictions. Pierce is governed by a distinct sense of personal honour and integrity which is something that often clashes with his job as an Intelligence Officer. His job often takes him in unknown terrain, and requires him to use dishonourable means to achieve his goals. | Pierce is a fiercely principled man.

Vincent also has a few peculiarities to his character. He is self-diagnosed as having mild OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). His quarters and every one of his work environments are incredibly well organized. He has a specific place for everything and the placement of objects on his desk is aligned to an invisible "mental grid". His diet is also very strictly regimented. He has eaten Waffels with assorted fruits and maple syrup for breakfast every morning since his first year at the Academy, breaking his habit only when forced to do so. On each day of the week, Pierce had a different meal in order to maintain a balanced diet but the meals are ordered in a sequence which repeats every week. Pierce has even programmed the meals into the replicator as "Monday lunch" and "Wednesday dinner" for each day of the week. | |||
Another peculiar habit that Pierce has is that when he is alone he commonly talks to himself. As he is a completely sane individual, he doesn't have conversations with himself but he will sometimes audibly remind himself of things or brainstorm allowed even if no one is present. | |||

Most officers, especially in the Security and Intelligence field, spend a lot of time on the holodeck and in the gym. Pierce, while he does enough to stay in shape, is usually busier with other things. He | |||
