Vincent Knott

Definitely not a lawyer.

Backstory
The son of a travelling hangman, Vincent has spent the last few years on the circuit learning the trade, which he very desperately does not want to do. Thanks to his skill at finding legal loopholes and precedents, his three prospective debuts to the job were all granted last minute reprieves. An anxious personality, he really doesn't want to let anyone down. Ever, for preference.

Books
Vincent is the main protagonist of Hangman's Knot. He has a cameo appearance toward the end of Witch Hunt when Eliza Swift asks him to act as Jack O'Malley's lawyer.

Appearance
Short and stocky with dark brown skin, curly dark hair in a ponytail, and green eyes.

Relationships

 * Eliza Swift: childhood best friend
 * Will Sharpe: boyfriend

Trivia

 * Has a stutter that gets worse under stress.
 * Knotty was entered into the 'Lawyer Blood Bath' competition on Tumblr. He beat Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure with 59.3% of the vote in the first round. He lost the next round to Elle Woods from Legally Blonde.
 * Knotty and Will appear to have gotten married during the four-year timeskip between Sea Change and Close to Home, as they're both wearing rings when seen in Eliza's shop.
 * Fans usually refer to him by his nickname 'Knotty', which Kate was surprised by, probably because that's what we see him called by Eliza so much.
