Biography
Viktor comes from the Undercity of Zaun. Born with a malformed leg and needing a cane to walk, his mobility issues inhibited him from playing with other children. Despite his loneliness, he was incredibly intelligent. He fostered an engineering talent, even creating a working model steamboat that he completes and tests.
Personality
As a child, Viktor was quieter than other children but creative in ways to create new technology. He choose to help Singed with Rio's health out of kindness, and when he sees what the scientist does to her to keep her alive, he angrily leaves and does not believe in his cruel methods.
As an adult Viktor is ambitious, innovative, and intelligent. Viktor was able to become the Head Professor's assistant at The University of Piltover due to his hard work, and is incredibly smart. He helps Jayce improve his theory of harnessing magic in under a few hours. Viktor is dedicated to helping the people of the Undercity, but when his body grows worse and he believes that he might be forgotten in the passage of time, he uses Shimmer to enhance his body's strength to test his connection with the Hexcore to try and enhance his lifespan.
Appearance
Viktor is a man of average height with pale skin, moles, brown hair, and striking amber eyes. He can be seen in the University of Piltover's uniform of a long-sleeved burgundy shirt with golden buttons, a white waistcoat with dark grey lining, and diamond-shaped white buttons. He also sports a white tie tied in an Atlantic knot (unlike Jayce's red tie-from this, we can presume that ties are indicative of status at the University, as Jayce is a student and Viktor is the Dean's assistant), as well as dark grey trousers and shoes. While he is shown to use a wooden cane, he is without it occasionally, suggesting he does not completely rely on it yet. . . . Viktor decided he needed fresh air ~~it was actually Jayce that said he needed it and wouldn’t stop pestering him~~ so he decided to take a walk alone, outside the city outskirts. He preferred it that way. He had a bit of hope he might find some inspiration for the Hex-tech, or maybe some other invention. Breathing in the air, it’s much more clean then down in his home city, Zaun. He felt a bit of nostalgia. But it quickly left, he’s been in Piltover for years. And he likes it here. for this walk he’s taken his cane, the sharp thud from it hitting the ground like a ~~fourth~~ third leg. Yes despite being told to take a break, he’s already thinking more still. Does this guy ever take a break?
