Vincent Perez spent the last twenty years of his life investigating the mysteries found in the dig site and surrounding ruins.
Menu
The Trail of Vincent Perez is a mystery in Golden Abyss. This mystery focuses on Marisa Chase's grandfather, Vincent Perez, who disppeared while searching for the solution to the mystery of the Spanish grave site. Perez was a noted expert in the ancient civilisations of Panama, and a member of the International Antiquities Office (IOA).
When the Odessa Mining Company discovered the Spanish grave site, the IOA took over and sent Perez in to lead an excavation. The excavation continued for years, until Roberto Guerro's revolution broke out and the site was subsumed into his territory. Diagnosed with terminal cancer nine years later, Perez became obsessed with solving the mystery, and became partners with Jason Dante to negotiate with Guerro for access to the site. Three months later, he disappeared, leaving his granddaughter desperate to discover his fate.
Completing the mystery will unlock a bronze trophy of almost the same name "Trail of Vincent Perez".
