I didn't feel that Vigilance fit in this campaign for several reasons. It's cool. You just hold off that character for later. Hell, I actually was surprised Ysmerelda didn't get into the campaign I and Charles were in. You just have to keep in mind that GMs have something they're looking for, and it may not make any sense to the players. And that's perfectly cool. People have their own tastes.
Vigilance was what the last GM was looking for (Until she decided to close down the campaign because of business before the first fight), but he's not what this GM is looking for. So, adapt, and move on with a new plan and character.
