Vincent Asagrim Page Preparation
Vincent Asagrim, commonly known as Vincent, is the mayor of the town of Lapithos and a resident of Fortuna and Silvay.

Appearance
He has blue eyes and brown hair. He currently wears clothes for the cold since Lapithos is located near a mountain range and it is cold there. He also wears a cherry-red scarf.

Despite being an Aasimar, Vincent looks like a human and is sometimes confused with a human by other people.

Personality
Vincent's personality varied through the years he lived in Karolium and Fortuna. When he lived in Karolium, he showed respect for people and had relations with many of the Karolian soldiers in the battlefield, but after switching sides, he became more introverted as years passed. Nonetheless, he still respected people and wanted to make his own circle of friends, and had only one thing in mind: Curiosity about knowledge.

While this is unmentioned, Vincent prefers to enjoy the present rather than dwelling about the past and the future, but retains a mindset of possibilities when he makes a decision. This makes him intelligent, but not for long-term situations. When he writes books, he usually exaggerates fantasy in order to give thoughts of otherworldly creatures and lore and give interest to the reader, although most of the time this does not work.

Vincent is also very generous regarding humans, and considers himself a member of human society despite not being a human. In Lapithos' Holidays, he showed appreciation for humans and even organized a festival for humans, the Day of Benevolence.

In The life-changing injury, Vincent's introversion does not change but his curiosity does. After these events, he became less curious and focused more on his skill training, and decided he wanted to be stronger to avoid any further dangers.

In Lapithos' Holidays, Vincent's personality begins to take a big turn to his old personality because he wanted to reinforce his old friendships.

Childhood
Vincent was born in Miklagard. When he was still 2 years old him and Melancton were sent to Fortuna to learn philosophy with Flavius as both Melancton's and Vincent's guardian because Hávi couldn't take care of them, as Miklagard was under constant bandit attacks and both of them needed an education. While both of them were traveling towards Fortuna, several bandits coming from the south surprised attacked the coach and killed everybody except Vincent and Melancton, who were taken to a camp in the south.

Life in Greater Karolium
The camp was eventually attacked by Karolian forces and took both Vincent and Melancton to their base in Holy-Terra, where they grew up and were conscripted to the army when they were old enough, because of an upcoming battle to re-take Fortuna. One day, they saw Fern, one of the Karolian soldiers doing strange things and they followed him up, and to their surprise, he was talking with the enemy side. Because of the harsh treatment they received from the Karolian government, they decided to keep this event secret and had drinks at Fern's bar outside of Fortuna, as the war went to a close. When the battle started, most of the Karolian forces were killed and had to retreat to Holy-Terra. Vincent and Melancton decided to go to an abandoned city instead to hide. Meanwhile, Fern was negotiating with Fortuna to switch sides.

Life in Fortuna
At the age of 20 he had joined Silvay, the state Fortuna joined in. In that city he trained his swordsman skills even more, and learned other abilities such as mining and fishing. He was later converted to the religion of Fortunism, and eventually became the most loyal citizen to this religion, to the point of being named High Priest of Fortunism in his 21th birthday. As the high priest, he made new decrees and gave a new meaning to Fortunism. When he was wandering around the south to search for new resources, he discovered something astonishing; an ancient ritual place. The first thing that came through his mind is Fortuna, in retrospect to the Fortunan flag's symbol, and the other demi-god symbols. He realized it was time to expand the Fortunan religion to other places, so he named this new settlement 'Lapithos' at the age of 22.

Reunion
As he had joined Silvay, he met many people but assumed his clan already left the country to travel; he was wrong. He traveled to the ruined city he tried to walk to when he was 16 by foot and while walking in the wild taiga forests, he remembered when he and his brother got lost. When he thought he would arrive to the ruined city it wasn't ruined anymore, but instead the walls were repaired, new buildings were constructed and it was all fixed. He saw some people in the city until he realized Hávi was there, and was glad to reunite with his family after a long time.

Mayorship of Lapithos
When he founded the town, he knew he wasn't very experienced in leadership, but he knew it was his mission to spread Fortunism. He built a dock and helped with the walls, and overall planned the town's infrastructure. The only ancient thing that's left in Lapithos is the Fortunist Ritual Place, the most visited place in the town. But as the town grew, Lapithos was also drifting from Fortuna's culture due to its lack of communication. After 3 years of work as a High Priest, Vincent decided to resign as his mission was done and he managed to make big advancements for the religion. One day, as he was getting resources one of his citizens, Mr Fern asked him if he could get to build in an island north-west of Lapithos, inside the Lapithos Lake. Vincent accepted and the Bronzekreuz Castle began it's construction. 2 years later, Mr Fern decided to leave the city due to disagreements with the citizens, and Vincent decided to keep his castle as a relic of Lapithos, alongside the statue of Fortuna and the Fortunist Ritual Place.

Mining in the depths
Note: This is the lore interpretation of the 1.18 update in Stoneworks.

It was January on a cold winter day, when Vincent took a walk through Fortuna, thinking of what to do in this new year. He suddenly felt a big earthquake, nonetheless the buildings were intact. He ran towards safety until the earthquake stopped. Everyone was confused, no one was hurt in the earthquake, until a miner in the city came out of the mine to announce the earth was expanding. Vincent was worried about his city so he ran towards Lapithos and found out the mine was much deeper than before. He took his pickaxe and his miner helmet, and started mining downwards. It was that moment when he found Melancton and both agreed to explore the mine to different directions. Melancton found a large cave, around three times larger than Lapithos, while Vincent found items he never had heard of, and every single ore beneath the ground wasn't mined yet, which brought curiosity to every Rathnir citizen. The hunt for the relics began, and Silvish miners mined as much as they could, finding dozens if not hundreds of gold veins hidden in huge caves. In the end, Vincent did not get as much gold as Melancton did, but was still glad this meant progress for the city, and all of Rathnir in general. When he returned to the surface, a Lapithos citizen told him that Eldham was also affected by this phenomenon.

The Lapithosi Mystery - History unravelled
While Vincent was sitting in his chair and reading a book about the Fortunan culture, his head wandered around a question that’s been unanswered for ages in the city of Lapithos, and it was the ritual place’s origins. Some people had theorized that this place was created by goddess Fortuna, some say that a Fortunan created it, so Vincent decided that it was time to end what he started a long time ago. He met with the best historians in Lapithos and began a journey that seemed to take ages to end. They researched over the materials and with their technology they estimated the place was at least a thousand years old. After several months, one of the historians glanced at a crack in one of the statues, specifically Fortuna’s. After some research on it, they realized it wasn’t just a crack, but a symbol from ancient times. This crack was more than enough information to conclude that the Fortunan religion is older than what it looks like. These symbols were written in a language that was never seen in any books, which meant this language was either barely spoken by anyone, or it was older than any of the languages discovered to this date. Vincent was astonished by this, but he knew it wasn’t the end just yet, and he had to continue his research.

Vincent kept researching, further and further into this unknown language and the mystery behind it. One morning, while he was tired from all the work, one of his historian assistants knocked to his room door. When he answered and was told what happened, he was excited to hear the news: they deciphered the unknown language. As the walked towards the meeting room, he could only feel excitement that his efforts were worth it, and he could not have done it if not by his team's help. He sat down in the meeting room to hear the further details he needed. The five runes translated to "Fortuna", which meant a little disappointment for him, but what he heard next was truly surprising: they retrieved even more details from this. The person who did this was not a Rasennan, but an immigrant who came to the city. The reason they built the ritual place is unknown, but what was for certain is that the writings were done while the Rasennoi city states still existed, because of the similarities with other languages seen in other Rasennoi city states, such as the city state which owned the area Lapithos is in. In a nutshell, these runes were written by a villager from a hamlet outside the Rasennoi city states, which adopted a similar culture to these city states, but they were not recognized in any history books.

The life-changing injury - Vincent's Absence
At the time of these events, Vincent was 26 years old. Despite the events that preceded, which gave him relief, Lapithosi miners had found a mysterious cave unexplored. This gave Vincent a feeling of curiosity, which pushed him into traversing the treacherous cave, just a few miles away from Lapithos. No citizen could explain his reasons, but many speculate that he was deemed curious for mystery. Meanwhile, as Vincent was exploring the cave, the echo, which resounded the cave as a reflection of one's words, gave him a sense of danger. Nonetheless, the mayor did not stop inspecting the cavern. As soon as there was no way back, the echo was louder and louder, until he realised his curiosity controlled his emotions, so he began running. Immediately as he tripped, the lantern he brought lost it's only light left. He was lost, but he still had the confidence to continue. He entered a large, bright section of the cave. He encountered a monster in the other side of the room, rounding 3 meters high. But he knew something like this would happen, so he brought his mythical sword "Fortuna's Wrath" in his backpack. The battle did not last 10 seconds before Vincent was thrown by the monster, and heavily injured him, but as soon as the monster was about to deal the last blow, Vincent got up and climbed through it's back, and plunged his sword into the beast's neck. Shortly after he defeated the beast, he fell unconscious.

The Lapithos Adventurers Team grew worried of their mayor, because they tried to stop their mayor from doing such a dangerous thing, so they planned to follow the mayor as soon as Vincent entered the cave. The adventurer who was following Vincent got lost, but eventually found him in the bright section of the cavern which was later labeled as the place where the mayor succumbed to his mystery. Vincent was brought back to Lapithos, where he was unconscious for around a few hours until he woke up, but was still unable to walk. He told the Lapithos Adventurers Team and the Lapithos Government to keep the events that happened a secret. A month later, he was finally able to walk. This gave him re-thoughts about being the mayor of Lapithos, which he deemed as a 'huge responsibility'. A few days later, he heard about his brother Melancton getting leadership of the city of Miklagard. He was content with these news, so he decided to assist to the event.

The new mayor of Miklagard - Lapithos' Holidays
As the party was close to it's beginning, Vincent arrived early to help with the last preparations. In the meanwhile, he congratulated Melancton for mayorship of Miklagard, and asked about Helheim's fate. Melancton, in response, told Vincent that he made a deal with another member of Silvay. Vincent, alongside the Asagrim Clan and other guests, arrived to the meeting place. Hávi Asagrim announced that the party was to begin, and everyone drank, except Vincent and Flavius. As the party was continuing, Vincent thought about his past, and decided that it was time to start from zero again, to stop committing the mistakes he had done in his past. As the party continued, Vincent could not do anything but listen to his brother's speech and wait for the party to end.

After the party in Miklagard, a new holiday in Lapithos was approaching. Many citizens of the town waited for the reputable ceremony of Benevolence. Some days before it started, Melancton approached Vincent to ask him about the holiday. Vincent responded with the following: "The ceremony of Aisat the Benevolent, or the Day of Benevolence by most is a holiday whose purpose is to celebrate an ancient Lapithosi Legend about Aisat the Benevolent, a hero who defeated the powerful Evil Rakshasa, a high, evil power menacing humanity's dominion in Rathnir. The hero was already known as benevolent, because of his kindness towards the poor and weak. When he defeated the Evil Rakshasa, his soul faded in the view of a curse given by the villain. This holiday in question is also a symbol to believe in humanity's dependency from Her almighty protection.". For this specific party they invited Stephanie Justinianus, a Fortunan noble living in Lapithos who helped Lapithos' progress with her architectual experience and became a close friend of Vincent and Melancton. The holiday began, and every house in Lapithos was surrounded with green and white lights. The people danced and enjoyed the night. When the party was about to end, Vincent decided to make a speech for the people of Lapithos, which stated the following: "I have seen many things happen in this city, especially it's foundation. We've grown to become a shining village within the depths of Cymru. Thanks to the progress we've all made, and thanks to our good deeds to our goddess Fortuna, we've grown more than ever. This party was to celebrate our standing dependency and show how us followers can fight off the evil alone. That's why I want to thank every citizen from here for assisting to this party, and I sure do hope our town is an everlasting progress.". After those words were spoken, the party was over and so was a memorable day of hope. While he was leaving the party, he thought of visiting his old friends more often.
