Although the modern lore of Vinko began in 2021, his story dates back to April 4th, 2009 at 7:23pm when an old grave digger heard a bear coming towards him. That bear was ready to kill. However, so was he. The bear was about to pounce on the grave digger when he stabbed the bear in the chest with his shovel. But after the grave digger killed the bear, something interesting happened. All the blood in his body spilt out, along with his organs. The only thing that remained is his bones, and his soul turned evil. Then, the bear began to grow massively in size. His spirit had been possessed by a demon and, through this demon, regained life. The giant bear then killed the grave digger by mauling him to death. The bear then ate the grave digger and left the cemetery afterwards. The demons of the underworld then began to chant "Ifritae saevos nunc ordinem custodiunt". A Latin detective was able to then translate this into "Vicious Ifrits Now Keep Order". This translation has officially been deemed the scientific name for the bear. But, for short, the public has simply refered to the bear as the acronym of the English translation, known as "Vinko". Nobody knows where Vinko resides today, as he can be here one minute, and gone the next. However, one thing we know is true is if the sky begins to turn red, the sound of rats swirl about your ears and you hear Vinko's voice, you best be ready for what's coming next because you won't be long for this world!
