Bio: (Broken down in Echo Logs)

Echo Log #1 begins
Maliwan president sighs and states, “Pandora is very ugly and many use those rip-offs of our tools to paint their canvas.”
Assitant looks and asks, “Why do we not make use of that man, wasn’t her named Vinni?”
Maliwan president blinks and smiles, “Bring me the painter then.”

Echo Log 2 begins
Vinni smiles as he paints, “Yes, yes, what a lov-!”
Door opens to the assistant, “Excu-!”
Stops as Vinni growls, “Madam do you not see a genius is at work!?”
Assitant coughs and acknowledges his statement before stating, “We at Maliwan have found your next project.”
Vinni stops and tosses his artwork aside as he states, “Intriguing. Take me to the president as this one has lost my interest.”
Echo Log #2 ends

Echo Log #3 Begins
Maliwan president hears the door and says, “Ah Vinni you came.”
Vinni smirks and chuckles, “Why wouldn’t I? Now tell me about this Pandora.”
Assitant looks as a slideshow begins to scroll by, “the people of this planet have been using our competitor weapons to mock us. There is also a legend of a powerful weapon locked away in a place called the Vault.”
Vinni smiles and laughs, “People?! No, no, no. . . no I see my paint and I see my canvas! This is it! My masterpiece!!! Ahahhahaha!!!”
The assistant blinks a bit afraid as the President smiles.

Echo Log #4 Begins
Jack looks and asks, “Angel I need a Vault hunter.”
Angel speaks, “Sir, it seems. . . well how should I put this, Maliwan sent their own Vault Hunter and well. . .”
Jack blinks and asks, “What Angel? You mean the those peace-loving naming morons actually did something against their names?”
Angel states, “Rolling audio tape.”
Hyperion Engineer screaming and ends after being burnt alive.
Hyperion combat engineer tries backing away asking, “W-What a-are you!?”
Vinni laughs and shots a corrosive pistol at a War Loader killing it before it could attack.
Vinni replies, “I believe paint does not speak, but is use to paint my canvas.”
Engineer murdered with a shock sniper rifle as Vinni laughs
Audio file ends and Jack states, “So, there’s an insane artist running around killing people and calling people paint?”
Angel replies, “I guess so.”
Jack sighs and says, “Jut lore the guy on to a train, I don’t even know what to do with this guy besides murdering him.”
Echo Log #4 Ends.

Action Skill: Cyread is an ability that allows a Painter to enter a new mode that turns everything black and white, but using maliwan or elemental guns weaponry allows the Painter to paint his targets with increased elemental damage, plus a kill will add an additional element that is not usually applied. In addition to this, elements will be casted on an enemy for a longer period of time, then the average time period. This allows the user to cast DOT for a greater period even beyond Cyread.

Left Skill Tree: This skill tree works on extending his base health and even boosting the team’s elemental damage and chance. This tree is also specified to work with fire and shock damage bonuses. This in turn also allows the player to have resistance to fire and shock damage. Cyread also gains the ability to have higher chances of causing fire and shock damage along the lines of gaining an additional resistance to fire and shock while Cyread.

Center Skill Tree: Main focus on shields and increasing base stat of shields with the additional touch of resistance to shock and corrosion. This tree also allows the player to have access to dealing both elements as addition to any Maliwan element being used such as shooting slag bullets with a chance to deal an extra corrosive or shock damage at around at 5%, but with an additional five points can deal 10% chance of causing either damage.

Right skill Tree: This skill tree focuses on increasing the base stats of any elemental weapon as well as reducing elemental damage dealt to him by opponents. This skill tree focuses on resisting fire and corrosion while giving the player health regeneration in the trade of losing a piece of his shield, until he has entire health regenerated. This tree also can apply even more to the lengthen DOT.

Appearance: Vinni appears to wear what appears to be a jacket barring the hex pattern of the Maliwan Company with a black shirt beneath. He often sports a Zoot hat and torn dress up pants that are light brown. He sports sneakers with the hex pattern as the coloration also matches the orange, blue, and white pattern of Maliwan.

Class Mod: It appears to be a pendent that bares two colors that resembles different elements. An example is the left tree as the pendant bares a fire symbol pinned to his coat, but has lightning symbol that bounces around. All class mods are made by Maliwan.
