He presents himself well and is usually dressed professionally.
Dr. Vincent Schroeder is also a serial killer, murdering unsuspecting randoms for reasons he justifies poorly to himself. For some years now he has also taken an interest in cannibalism, processing and consuming the corpses of his victims to dispose of them, but also likely for some degree of personal satisfaction.

Summary
Vincent was the first of two children. His father was a cardiothoracic surgeon, and his mother a schoolteacher who left her job after he was born. He showed signs of academic competence from a rather young age, learning to read long before he started school to his parents delight. He particularly liked learning about history, but his father also encouraged him to learn about basic scientific concepts while he was quite young.
He was 4 when his brother was born. He immediately disliked the new baby, the scarce attention from his father and the constant presence of his mother now split between him and a sibling.
His brother was a sickly infant, but everyone hoped his health would continue improving by the time he was a mostly normal toddler. Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly when he was 5, and then he fell asleep. Vincent’s brother was diagnosed with Kleine Levin Syndrome after another episode, which would continue to disrupt the family for the rest of Vincent’s childhood.
His parents had little time for praise when Vincent skipped fourth grade, or when he was runner-up of a district math competition. His brother's health was top priority, and a constant battle. He learned to keep his contempt to himself, it was less cute for a 10-year-old to act disparagingly to his chronically ill younger brother.
Vincent was generally unpopular in his school career, due to his intelligence and standoffishness, though he was rarely a target of bullying or harassment, likely because he was both not fun to mock and also consistently one of the tallest in his grade. He went straight to college after high school, in an intensive pre-med to med school course. He was 24 when he graduated, and managed to get a neurosurgery residency straight out of school. At 30, he was finally qualified to be a full-fledged neurosurgeon.
He was 20 when he first took a life; the only time it was a friend, and the only time it was not intentional. 21 when his parents died in a house fire, his childhood home levelled, his brother the only survivor. He was 23 when his murder became habitual, and 28 when he first ate another person.
He was 34 when he injured his arm irreparably, and has spent the past year readjusting his life.

• Especially likes the works of Anton Chekhov.
• Despite having a high-paying job and somewhat expensive taste in food and clothing, he saves a large portion of his earnings.
• The fine motor skills in his right arm have been rather poor since the accident, and he sometimes expriences bad tremors that he did not previously have.
• His victims are most often males in their 20s, under 6ft, with eyes Vincent finds striking, though he has been known to stray from this profile on occasion. He has killed women.
Links
Jude
Target of Affection
Vincent was immediately drawn to Jude. He fit neatly into Vincent's aesthetic preferences, and the more Vincent learnt about him, the more interested he became. He did initially want to kill Jude, but he's sure what he got is much better.
Slowly he began to reveal parts of the monster he truly is, drawing Jude into his lifestyle and relishing in having someone to share it with. He also enjoys doting on Jude to an extent, but he makes an effort not to be overbearing; he simply likes to do nice things for the man he cares about.
Eva
Future Sister-in-law?
Vincent is wary of Eva, and especially of what she knows and represents. He is perfectly pleasant to her, though it's mostly for Jude's sake.
He begrudgingly accepts that mutually assurred destruction is the best place to keep their aquaintance, as any harm to Eva would have devastating effects on Jude.
Michael
Estranged Brother
Vincent hasn't spoken to his brother in many years and is very contemptuous of him. After the deaths of his parents, Vincent organised a care home to take care of his then 17-year-old brother, as there was no one who could look after him and Vincent wasn't going to give up his ambitions. Fortunately, the insurance payouts for the family home and their parent's lives, as well as a modest inheritance, were more than enough to assure a comfortable, separate lifestyle for both of them.
