I didn't mean to suggest Vinny was going to be the shadowy mastermind behind everything wrong at B&R. I was thinking of villain more in the primary antagonist sense: the person who consistently opposes our hero's goals.I think we're overstating the "villain" angle here. Vinny doesn't have to be crime boss level bad, he could just have gotten in with a bad crowd. In the flashback he says he knows "some guys" if the DIKs are "looking to score", which seems a pretty big allusion to drugs. Maybe he got in deep with these "guys" and was expelled because of it, then he went and joined up with them afterwards and became Quinn's dealer. Perhaps Quinn and Vinny already had some kind of business relationship before he got expelled and they kept it going afterwards.
Vinny would be "the big bad" in terms of being Quinn's dealer, but I can't seem being some kind of over-arching comic book-esque "villain" doing all sorts of things behind the scenes to bring down the DIKs or anything like that.
It's easy to think of ways Vinny might oppose the MC once. It's harder to think of ways he would do so repeatedly.
