View source for Lt. Cmdr. Vincent Disanto

Tactical officer on board the starship Banshee. Early in his Starfleet career, Vince braved the disastrous Battle of Wolf 359. ("Collective") A few years later, while serving aboard the USS Rameses, Vince was devastated when the woman he claimed was the love of his life left him for another man. The pain was made worse by the fact that the position of their quarters on the ship made it all too possible to hear all of their lovemaking sessions. It was this massive heartbreak that led him to decide it was better not to pursue a relationship until he was certain it would work out. ("Basic Survival Instinct" [BAN]) When the Rameses crashed in late 2374, Vince was one of the survivors who played an important role in fending off Dominion forces long enough for help to arrive. ("Tolkien III" [REJ]). In 2375, immediately following the crash of the Rameses, Vince was stationed as tactical officer of the Banshee. He found that adapting to his new ship difficult, mainly because Lieutenant Commander Ben Rachow believed his disinterest in women meant something else and constantly called him gay. Soon after, members of the rest of the crew began believing the same. ("Resistance is Futile, Part I [BAN]). Vince was among the many bridge officers who were killed when a Voran torpedo struck the main bridge and destroyed it. When it became apparent that the afterlife didn't want them there, he and the others were returned to life. Vince then served on the away team that infiltrated Voran central command. ("The Dark Fleet" [BAN]). Later that year, while delivering supplies to a Section 31 starbase with Dr. Elizabeth Lang, their shuttle was struck by a rogue meteor and destroyed. In order to survive on the barren planet of Veejo IX. This sparked a brief love affair between the two. ("Basic Survival Instinct" [BAN]) In early 2376, Vince felt the urge to be return to the Borg Collective. His urge was answered when he hijacked the runabout Brahmaputra and intercepted a cubeship. When Vince attempted to lead the Borg on an assault to assimilate the Banshee, he was knocked back into individuality. As part of his recovery, Vince decided to start talking about his assimilation experiences. ("Collective" [BAN]). Vince, along with 5 other Banshee crewmembers took a vacation to the planet Mordor. There he met a Trill woman named Illana and became romantically involved with her. Vince was unaware that Illana was a member of the Deimos cult. When attempting to save Cmdr. Ben Rachow, Vince and Peter Stefanski were captured by the cult where they were to be converted into mindless slaves. Had it not been for the Banshee's prompt intervention, no one would have survived. ("Where Angels Fear to Tread" [BAN]). Vince found that despite his sexual encounter with Dr. Elizabeth Lang, he was still taken as being a homosexual, even by her. This caused him much agitation, especially when he was hit on by the Banshee's male officers. ("Nine Months Too Long" [BAN]). Vince was later almost severely wounded after being repeatedly clawed in the face by Commander Burn's pet cat, Fluffy. As if making a dying wish, Vince asked Captain Vorezze to kill the cat for him. ("Q-Tips" [BAN]) Vince was propositioned by Ben Rachow (mirror) and lured into his quarters, where his counterpart knocked him unconscious and replaced him. ("Two of a Kind" [BAN]).
