Vince of Thorolund

Vince of Thorolund is a minor character in Dark Souls.

Plot
Vince and Nico are the bodyguards of Rhea of Thorolund. He will appear with his companions in the Firelink Shrine after the player rings the first bell in the Undead Parish. Unlike his silent companion, Vince will have a brief conversation with the player. In it, he tells the player that his party are going on a quest, but reveals little more.

If the player does not exhaust all of his and Rhea's dialogue, they will leave Firelink shrine when the player defeats Pinwheel of the Catacombs.

The player next encounters Vince and Nico in the pit that Patches kicks him/her into as hollowed enemies. The player must defeat them in order to rescue Rhea.

Strategy
Vince and Nico are pretty much straight melee fighters. They have above average health, hit fairly hard, and the fact that there are two of them may cause problems for the player. The player must also fight them in near-pitch darkness; the Skull Lantern, Sunlight Maggot helmet, or the Cast Light sorcery will greatly aid players in this aspect.

Trivia
It is likely that either Petrus of Thorolund or Patches led Vince and Nico to their deaths. Patches, an infamous trickster is found near their hollowed forms and mentions his distaste for clerics, while Petrus' plans for Rhea are sinister indeed.
