About Vincente Valentino ValdemarAppearance:
Standing just shy of six feet tall, Vincente's long dark hair brushes his shoulders, though he often has it bound back with the crown he won from pit fighting, a crown that only helps to increase his furious appearance. His skin and hair mark him as Native Varisian, and his dark eyes are always gazing about, looking for the next challenge. He moves like a cat on the prowl, his light armor and shield just seem to be a part of him. Background:
Twenty-one years ago a young scion of the Valdemar family was sent to a far off town to see if more fishing contracts could be acquired. Victor, nephew of Ethram, was sent as he had little important. Two years later, he found himself in Ilsurian, married, and soon to be a father. He found that without spending time there and building up good relationships, he was never going to be able to secure a trade route for fishing for his family, so he decided to integrate. In the nineteen years since the birth of his only child, a son by the name of Vincente, Victor become a member of the Ilsurian community and failed to visit home in Magnimar more than a dozen times. Had it not been for the family's ships he would not have likely been at all. He has succeeded in his dealings and after all this time, there is a small trickle of trade between Ilsurian and Magnimar which had not existed before this point. But...that is just how Vincente was brought into this world and why he was raised in such a small area, away from his family name. In Ilsurian, there is a small arena and from an early age, Vicente was completely captivated by it. He longed to fight and compete in it, so as soon as he was able to, young Vicente signed up for lessons. He learned how to fight up close and how to use a shield...but he never cared much for the weapons they showed him. He cared for hitting things with his fists. Ilsur's Arena did little for him by age sixteen, as he had quickly found he was simply too much for his competition. At sixteen, he asked his father to let him return home. To Magnimar. So with great trepidation, Victor allowed his son to return to his old family home, where the boy was accepted as a distant relative and given a place to stay and little else. Magnimar:
Upon arrived and being accepted, casually, by his family, who largely ignored him, Vincente immediately went to trying to find a way to continue his competition. He quickly found himself in Serpent's Run. Things were going well for the first couple of weeks...until he got conned into a fight and lost everything he had made and nearly lost his life. Afterwards, he was caught up by a group of Sczarni who were demanding payment for him failing to cover some of his side bets. He was blackmailed into pulling a few jobs with them and before long, his life as a criminal began. Thankfully, his uncle did not allow it to last very long. Kaleb Valdemar ended his troubles with the Sczarni rather quickly and after that, Vicente began doing jobs for his uncle. Surprisingly, a good many of them were spying on random people or other tasks very akin to those the Sczarni were putting him through. At least this felt better because it was business. And family. The times he got caught, he was always supposed to 'handle' it without drawing a weapon...so he got really, really good at hitting people without them dying from the blows, but getting knocked out. Recently, he heard tell that one of his cousins from Sandpoint had come into town and he has started looking for her, being available less and less for his uncle's tasks while he tries to find Vanessa. He has only met her a few times, but has heard that she is adventuring and the life of a merchant...or whatever he has been doing for his uncle...is not something he is keen on. Crunch:

Pole Fighting: At 2nd level, as an immediate action, a polearm master can shorten the grip on his spear or polearm with reach and use it against adjacent targets. This action results in a –4 penalty on attack rolls with that weapon until he spends another immediate action to return to the normal grip. The penalty is reduced by –1 for every four levels beyond 2nd. This ability replaces Bravery.

Finesse Training (Ex): At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed.

The bonuses gained from this ability stack with those gained from trap sense (from another class).
