Vincent Van Ghoul is a renowned magician, actor and warlock, with extensive knowledge of the supernatural. Despite being very angry with the pair, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo for unleashing the ghosts, he agrees to help them in their ghost-questing, and gives the group a crystal ball through which he can contact them.
The last member of the Van Ghoul family, Vincent was an archaeologist in his younger days along with his friend Mortifer Quinch, who specialized in stage magic. The two sought out the vault of King Solomon, which contained Chest of Demons, and succeed in locating the artifact. While Mortifer wished to become famous for discovering the chest, Vincent felt it to be too dangerous. However, he had inadvertently broken a lock sealing the chest, resulting in all thirteen ghosts trapped within making their escape. Eventually, Vincent and Mortifer recaptured all of the ghosts, the last being Asmodeus. However, Vincent realized that the forces of evil would seek out the chest in order to free their masters. The two decided to split up, with Vincent declining Mortifer's offer to let him take the chest.To Vincent's horror, Mortifer's attempt to distract the menacing evils resulted in his apparent death
Later he covered it up and is doing acting to hide his magic powers until a certain wolf that also has human form that the goddess, Amaterasu recruited him for the Council of Light, which he accepted and became a member, usually does acting in many of his movies which Scooby and Shaggy are a fan of, but he does use magic on the level of Doctor Strange.
And he is reprised by Maurice LaMarche as a tribute for the legendary Vincent Price in the English dub and he will be voiced by Rikiya Koyama in the Japanese dub.
