Vince Milliner

Vince Milliner is a Hero on the trail of a young Beast, Richard Fries.

Bio

Vince is first introduced as a speech-language pathologist who has been asked to evaluate four-year-old Richard. He finds Richard unnerving for reasons he finds hard to articulate, and his sleep becomes disturbed by dreams of his late mother and the sound of thunder. Vince argues vehemently that Richard needs ongoing monitoring, and it enraged when his colleagues agree that Richard doesn't qualify for their services. After hours, Vince argues with his colleague Grace, and bludgeons her to death with a stone paperweight.^[1]

Several years later, Vince was still monitoring Richard's behavior, but remained conflicted about killing a child. He still perceives the presence of Beasts as the sound of distant thunder. When Mr. Coffey follows Eve and Richard into Richard's home, Vince follows him, and tries to protect the children from the strange adult. He unknowing places an Anathema on Mr. Coffey, which helps Richard frighten him off. Afterward, Vince introduces himself and awkwardly leaves.^[2]

Trivia

Beast developer Matt McFarland, like Vince, is a speech-language pathologist.
