I have no fear of death. It just means dreaming in silence. A dream that lasts for eternity.
~ Vincent Volaju to Spike on their fight in the monorail.
Know much about purgatory? It's the place between heaven and hell, where those who were left behind, unable to get into heaven continue to suffer, a place of struggle and pain. In other words, the world that we're in now.
~ Vincent Volaju.

Vincent Volaju is the main antagonist of the Cowboy Bebop movie Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door. A former soldier on Titan, Vincent is the sole survivor of a bunch of experiments on a nanovirus and was made immune, at the cost of any and all memory of himself. Left with a disjointed sense of reality, Vincent believes he is either in a dream or is already dead and now in Purgatory, Vincent seeks to wipe out all life on Mars and be the last piece standing to find the door and escape during Halloween night.

He was voiced by Tsutomu Isobe in Japanese and Daran Norris in English, the latter of whom also voices Nakago in Fushigi Yūgi and Knock Out in Transformers: Prime and Jorgen Von Strangle in Fairly Odd Parents.

Appearance[]

Vincent is a pale-skinned man with wild black hair and a beard. He is also seen wearing an black attire consisting of a trench coat, a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes.

Biography[]

Serving as a soldier during the Titan war, Vincent Volaju was recruited by the government to partake in an experiment that would make him immune to a bioweapon being developed by the military. Unbeknownst to Vincent, this process would subject him to horrific experiments and erase his memory up until that point, causing him to forget the love of his life, Elektra. Driven into a misanthropic rage, Vincent faked his death and sought revenge against the government that wronged him. Several years after the Titan War, Vincent hired an amateur hacker named Lee Sampson to hack into the government computer network and locate the nanomachines.

Vincent first appears detonating a tanker truck and unleashing the virus. Faye Valentine catches a glimpse of him while looking for Sampson (who was supposed to be driving the truck). Later that day, on the news, an award of three hundred million Woolongs is put on Vincent for the attack. Vincent meets with another accomplice, a bomb maker, at a warehouse. Here, he orders the bombs containing the nanomachines to be placed inside the parade balloons for the upcoming Halloween festival. After Sampson broadcasts a cryptic ransom message across Mars for him, Vincent betrays and murders him with the nanomachines, accidentally poisoning Faye in the process. Vincent gives her some of his blood so he could keep her for himself.

When Spike spots Vincent outside an apartment building, he chases him towards a train station. After a brief fight, Spike knocks him down, but Vincent grabs Spike's chest and twists it, then shoots him out of the train before detonating a grenade that destroys the train. Returning to the apartment, Vincent reveals to Faye his motivations and true plan to eliminate all life on Mars, so that only he and Faye (who is now immune to the nanomachines) would be the only life forms left on the planet.

While he is heading towards the parade to release the nanomachines upon Mars, Faye hijacks the weather control system for Mars to start raining, allowing the vaccine Spike and Elektra managed to procure to counteract the nanomachines, foiling Vincent's plan. Spike finds him at the top of the tower and the two engage in a long and brutal fistfight until Elektra arrives and shoots him, and as Vincent dies, he remembers her and admit that she was the one he used to love.
