Vincent

The Vincent (ヴィンセント) is a seventh generation pre-production model Knightmare Frame. Based on the Lancelot and Lancelot Club, it is introduced a year after the Black Knights' attempted invasion of Tokyo. After its initial success, the Vincent Commander Model, is fielded by the Britannian Armed Forces.

Design and Development
Although the Vincent is derived from the Lancelot, its design still differs greatly from its predecessor. The Vincent has two Factspheres are mounted in its shoulders and two hip-mounted Slash Harkens. Its Maser Vibration Swords (MVS) are shaped like spears and can be attached at the hilts to form a double-bladed lance. It also features a new armament called the Needle Blazer. This device, developed from the Lancelot's "Blaze Luminous" maser shield, emits a short-range blast of focused energy that can penetrate armor with devastating effect. The Vincent prototype and later Commander Model are also equipped with a second set of Landspinners in its shoulders in addition to the standard issue. RPI stand for Royal Panzer Infantry.

Vincent Glinda
The RPI-212/G Vincent Glinda is a variant of the Vincent from Oz the Reflection, utilized in the Great Glinda Knights by Marrybell's personal force. 88 units of the Vincent Glinda are produced. These machines also use the combat data of Oldrin and the other Glinda Knights. The armaments are the same as the prototype, but the MVS Lances of the Vincent Glinda also seem to turn yellow when activated, though this may just be a cosmetic difference and not affect their strength.

Operational History
The Vincent pre-production model was first fielded in. It was loaned to the Office of Secret Intelligence and was piloted by assassin Rolo Lamperouge. The Vincent was given to the Britannian Military to use during the execution of the Black Knights. The intended pilot was to be Lord Kimmel. However, Rolo came, killed him and took his place during the execution. Rolo would use the Vincent to block an attack that was intended for Zero from Guilford. He took the unit with him when he defected to the Black Knights. During this time, the Vincent was equipped with The Black Knight's Air Glide System in preparation for the Assault on the Geass Order. This unit served as Rolo's personal Knightmare until it was heavily damaged in a battle against the Siegfried, piloted by V.V., when Lelouch vi Britannia (as Zero) tried to destroy the Geass Order.
