Vincent Vince Carter is a highly-trained yet rather hapless security operative and one of the few people whom Danielle Atron really trusts. Not much is known about Vince's life, and over the years, he has tried to keep it that way. What is known about his life is that it's not a happy one. In Shock Value , it's mentioned that Vince was kicked out of wood shop class for being too violent, and that as a kid, he was frequently bullied and beat up by other kids, which was likely the influence for his frightening behavior. For a number of years, he was a navy seal, a CIA agent and involved in numerous shady operations that are so illegal that Danielle controls him much of the time with blackmail, threatening to call the FBI and report him if he ever tries to harm her in any way. Vince is also likely the hit-man who murdered a number of chemical plant employees under Danielle's orders.Danielle herself is eventually too disturbed by Vince. Despite wanting the accident kid brought in for testing, she (at first) has no intention of killing the kid, nor does Vince, but by the third season, Vince is so unstable and reckless that Danielle fires him. She confides in Lars that she no longer trusts Vince and that she thinks he is a really sick man for enjoying the idea of murdering the kid if said kid is found. Despite this, as she starts to become somewhat sadistic and unstable as well, she and Lars bring Vince back on a few projects. Vince is obsessed with hunting down the accident kid and his big goal in life is to succeed. He seems to be almost in love with Danielle and acts like her servant on numerous occasions. Unknown to him, she doesn't see him as a friend and fires him from the plant very abruptly and coldly. This pushes Vince so over-the-edge that he begins dressing like a cat burglar, talking to himself in the mirror, putting up psycho artwork in his house and stalking Danielle at the horse stables. Vince is deliberately cruel and mean towards Dave, but Dave feels sorry for him and in Season 3 wishes Vince the all the best in his future, after which Vince breaks down in tears when no one is around. Danielle's last words to him are a simple good luck , to which Vince says, I won't need it... Alex Mack will. Vince is a tall, forty-something man with many skills in technology, security and safety measures. He has a blonde semi-mohawk/crew cut and usually dresses professionally, in suits and ties. It's implied frequently that Vince was in Vietnam in his younger days and his character is based on Travis from the acclaimed film Taxi Driver of the 1970's, quoting lines like you talkin' to me, huh? in the mirror, mimicking a scene from Taxi Driver . Vince is a really creepy, leering sort of guy, and does everything suspicious from hanging around the local junior high school to getting weirdly enthusiastic about cutting living things open , much to Dave and Danielle's horror. Danielle plans to have Vince and Dave killed off, while on the flip-side, Vince wants to murder Dave and Danielle and sell off GC-161 secrets to Danielle's competitors.Nicole Wilson briefly idolizes Vince on school career day and becomes his minion, but this quickly stops.Barbara Mack admits to George one evening that although she finds Vince very creepy, she feels very bad for him for the way he was so cruelly fired. Barbara for a brief time worked with Vince on an air-freshener ad campaign and he became a close acquaintance to her. George agrees that Vince is a really sad man, and adds that Vince had no friends and was all alone. Unknown to them, Vince is trapped in their air duct, listening to their every word, and he starts crying when he realizes that they're right.
