Novelization
In the novelization for Jaws 2 and Jaws: The Revenge (both of which were written by Hank Searls) Vengeance was the offspring of the first and second shark. Having spent his time in the womb fighting off his siblings' attempts to canabalize him, Vengeance emerged from his mother while she was being electrocuted.
Years later, Vengeance would return to Amity, first killing Sean Brody and subsequently proceeded to follow Ellen Brody to The Bahamas. While in Bahamian waters, Vengeance came under the control of a voodoo witch doctor named Papa Jacques who bore a hateful grudge against Ellen's other son Michael.
