Unexpected? Yeah, but so are all our ideas. Meet Vint – a mobian jackal, a total menace and definitely not the nicest guy around. But if something benefits him, he’s in. A tech geek who loves tinkering with parts just as much as digging up information.

In the draft story, Niko, Shadow, and Rouge literally barged into his place, even though it looked like some abandoned warehouse or storage base. In the end, mutual benefit aligned, they hit it off, and the main trio was formed – Niko, Shadow, and Vint.

Also, Vint is August's character =:з
