So basically, Vincent either had seriously loved Flimflam's mother or had a fling, but being a Warlock it's a {{May December Romance}} and leaves before realizing she's pregnant, something happens to her while Flimflam's pretty young and he has to fend for himself. Vincent (magic or recognizing a strong resemblance to the kid's mom) finds him and suspects they're related. Why not acknowledge him? Vincent is a very powerful warlock with a LOT of enemies, and Flimflam doesn't seem to have inherited any Warlocky-ness (notably he doesn't get influenced by Nekara's charm gaze), so if he acknowledges that he has a kid, he's putting the crosshairs on Flimflam, but he isn't about to just abandon him, so he hires the boy as a way of keeping him close enough to protect him without raising suspicion, and essentially lets him get away with more things out of a misplaced sense of guilt for not being able to be a proper dad.

[[WMG: Flimflam is Vincent's unacknowledged son]]
Okay. Hear me out, Flimflam seems to have no family to speak of, common for his archetype, but it's noticeable that he was already Vincent's errand boy well before he meets the rest of the gang, and gets away with a lot of things none of the other gang can - including calling him "Vinnie", messing with the crystal ball, and borrowing his carpet. Then there's the episode with Nekara, when the gang crashes the wedding with Daphne pretending to be Vincent's wife and the rest kids - Shaggy, and the Doos aren't convincing, but when Flimflam strolls in, Vincent looks right at him while asking: "Son?" - and despite being mind-controlled into thinking he's in love with Nekara, he's shown to be more or less in his facilities otherwise.

* This idea is very neat, unfortunately the show definitely doesn't support the idea; Van Ghoul is shown to be very powerful a lot of the time, and has friends within the general wizarding community (as shown in the Mirror Ghost, Seductress and TV host episodes). If he were the weakest of the 13 Ghosts he couldn't do half of the things he does (barring massive power creep which we don't really see), and the wizarding community would know to stay away from him. (Also, I believe the first episode has it that it was the Townsfolk who hid the Chest in the castle, not Vincent, but I could be wrong there.)

[[WMG: The 13 Ghosts Is a Moniker]]
While there are, or were, 13 terrible ghosts, "The 13 Ghosts" refers to a gang founded by these 13 that the worst ghosts could join. There's already signs of this in the Show; when Rankor is trying to join a different gang of ghosts, but is still one of the 13 Ghosts. It would also explain how some of the Ghosts, like the Ship Ghosts, could be the 13 Ghosts but be directly against the canon of the chest. Bogel and Weerd also want to join the 13 Ghosts. This would also explain how there could be a Season 2 if the show became a runaway success.

Both characters are voiced by Vincent Price, plus Vincent occasionally wears an outfit vaguely similar to Ratigan's. My theory is that one of the good forces of Disney (either [[WesternAnimation/Pinocchio the Blue Fairy]] or [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty the Three Good Fairies]]) decided to give Ratti a second chance, but on the condition that he do good rather than evil. Ratigan agrees to this, and thus becomes Vincent. However, although he is good now, he still has a mischievous streak.

This theory also suggests that the episodes are out of chronological order.
The Sea Captain is the ''last'' episode of the series, and the reason why Van Ghoul
doesn't tip them off to it and there's no "this is the twelfth ghost we're looking for" is because
Vincent ''knows'' that he won't need them after number twelve is gotten and so is counting on them to be experienced enough to nab it but not to escape the shipwreck. Hence neatly getting rid of his accomplices and leaving him as the most powerful of the thirteen left.
