Vinson Abinell is a civilian member of the Fleet, brother to Ray Abinell and brother-in-law of Sesha Abinell.

Abinell takes part in Sesha Abinell's hostage taking folly in Cloud Nine's lounge, hoping to get the pregnant copy of Sharon Valerii in exchange for hostages. His actions during the situation indicate that he is Sesha's right hand man.

On the onset of a second rescue attempt, Vinson is slain by Billy Keikeya as Vinson went to execute Anastasia Dualla on Abinell's order. He manages to mortally wound Keikeya prior to his death (Sacrifice).

Notes
