Beauty and the Beast Trivia:

Vincent received his animal DNA while serving in the military and taking part in a super secret project to convert typical soldiers into super fighting machines. The other members of his unit were killed mysteriously when the project was ended but Vincent managed to escape. Vincent was a Doctor before he entered the military.

J.T. Forbes has been a friend of Vincent's since childhood. He is now a college Professor and is hiding Vincent from the hit men who are still trying to terminate him.

Vincent's first name was originally supposed to be "Koslow" before being changed to Vincent, the same first name as the same character in the 1987-1990 series also titled, "Beauty and the Beast". On that series, Vincent was never given a last name. This series is a remake of that one, not a spinoff.
