“Quality, not quantity” are words the high-class thief named Vault lives by. A master thief and “second-story” specialist, Vault will often forego bulkier or larger items in favor of more refined, and valuable, scores.
Vault prowls the upp-class sections of Vance City, looking to make as much as possible with as little effort as necessary. He eschews confrontation, though is a skilled fighter and acrobat. He prefers to live a comfortable, if not excessive, lifestyle, staying below the radar of the authorities.
Unfortunately, Vance City’s protectors, Steel Wolf and The Magistrate, have both gotten the better of him on occasion, a fact that grates on him like no other.
Vault himself is an Olympic-level athlete and acrobat, as well as an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant when need be. He is a master lockpick, and excels at breaking and entering, especially when it’s a challenge. He prefers targets often thought of as out-of-reach by normal criminals, earning him his high-rise reputation.
Vault also makes use of a set of armored gloves and boots that contain a wide variety of electronic devices that aid in his endeavors. The gauntlets possess lockpicks, buffers, and other disruptive technologies, while his boots boost his own leaping ability to superhuman levels. He also carries a high-tech collapsible battle staff.
