Vito Vencetti

"'Fuck you Shroder boy' - Vito to Alphonse" Vito Vencetti is a main character on the Axis side of RSC: Part 6 "The fortunate sons"

He is a 31 year old Italian born German soldier in WW2. Vito was born in Messina Sicily and lived there all of his life until he joined the war. He grew up in a wealthy family that owned an Umbrella company. His mother died when he was a young age, and his father, Fortunato Vencetti, was a very authoritative man and was more like a drill sergeant than a father. The only family Vito enjoyed to be around was his older brother, Sonny Vencetti, who has been there for him his whole life. Because he was so close to Sonny, when Sonny joined the military at the start of the war, Vito did soon after. As if fate lined up, His authoritarian upbringing made him a near perfect soldier and he ranked up very quickly until 1943. In 1943 the Italians switched sides of the war, although he loved Italy just as much as anyone else, Vito used his German connections to guarantee him an Officer rank in the German army. Vito was assigned to Buchenwald concentration camp, under the command of Hans Shroder, Vito however was placed under the command of Han's younger brother Alphonse Shroder, a 24 year old Kommadant. Vito disliked Alphonse as he did not earn his rank like Vito did, and instead got it solely due to his relations to Han's. Vito resides in Buchenwald at the beginning of Part 8 with the rest of Ghost Division. He heavily dislikes Buchenwald, mainly due to the smell, the only positive thing in Buchenwald for him was Layne. Layne was Vito's only friend and enjoyed to converse with him over a game of Füsh, he was the only person Vito truly liked in Germany.

Personality
Vito is not a very good person as his negative traits overcome his positive ones. He had a very authoritarian upbringing and because of this was a very good soldier and officer. He is generally assertive and blunt on his points of views and does not have much time for "Non-sense". He follows orders by the book, at least until he got to Buchenwald, where the smell and incompetent leadership made him a bit rebellious when it came to Alphonse. This can be seen as arrogant of him, since he is regularly seen disrespecting Alphonse which could get him tried for treason, yet he reports the same type of behavior. He does not fear many things and is in a serious mood most of the time. The only time he is scared, is when he is around Hans Shroder, Friedrich Mauz, or Ingo Cross (Friedrich being the one he fears most). Those three men scare him more than anything, he does not cosider these men to be humans but rather to be pure evil, he fears them much more than anything can scare any other members of Ghost Division. He dislikes the other Ghost Division members, none more than Alphonse, however Private Otto Canaris comes to a close seconded due to his rank. Vito also has something much darker that he holds deep in himself, this thing causes him to have Schizophrenic events that cause damage to his mental health. He often see's Dr. Mauz in mirror's and gets twitchy when he thinks about him. So far his worst Schizo event was during the Dino's Bar & Grill OVA, where he had his first experience where he knew that he was just seeing things, it was also one of the biggest.

Ability
When Vito joined the Italian military he developed the stand '''「Mr. Sandman」'''(A reference to the song by The Chordettes). Mr. Sandman manifests as a transparent blue belt around his waist that holsters multiple throwing knives he can throw. Mr. Sandman's special ability is that it allows Vito to freely control the knife after it leaves his hand. He can speed up the knife, slow it down, and turn it any direction.

Appearances
Vito has appeared in every episode of the Axis side, and the Non-canon Sitcom OVA.
