| Viktor is a young man from [[North Window]]. One of the few survivors of [[Neclord]]'s assault on the village, Viktor was not present when Neclord massacred the town's citizens but discovered his family had been turned into zombies when he returned<ref>"He destroyed the village where I was born. When I returned to my village, I saw members of my own family, who were turned into zombies by him, eating each other." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. | | Viktor grew up in the town of [[North Window]] in the [[City-State of Jowston]]. He avoided the destruction of the town by [[Neclord]] as he had been out of town buying supplies at the time. Ever since then, Viktor wandered the lands as a mercenary, hoping to gain his revenge against Neclord someday. He gained the nickname Vagabond Viktor around this time. |
|
| |
|
| Viktor travelled the world looking for Neclord<ref>"You killed my family and friends, and I traveled far looking for you." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, becoming a mercenary and eventually joining the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. Viktor encountered [[Hero (Suikoden)]] in [[Gregminster]] and agreed to help Tir flee the city.
| | He was a member of the initial [[Toran Liberation Army]] led by [[Odessa Silverberg]] during the [[Gate Rune War]]. His self-taught sword technique made him a vital member of the fledgling force. After the death of Odessa, he would follow the leadership of [[Hero (Suikoden)|the boy]] he brought into the Liberation Army. He would later convince [[Flik]] to align himself with the new Liberation Army. |
|
| |
|
| Once the group arrived in [[Lenankamp]], Viktor introduced Tir to [[Odessa Silverberg]]. After Odessa was mortally wounded in the attack on the Toran Liberation Army's hideout, Viktor continued to serve in the Toran Liberation Army under Tir.
| | Later during the Gate Rune War, he would discover that Neclord was in [[Lorimar]]. Obtaining the [[Star Dragon Sword]] in the [[Cave of the Past]], Viktor would be finally able to exact his revenge. Following this he took a leave of absence to return to North Window but rejoined the army after being rescued from [[Moravia]] where he had been imprisoned on his return. |
|
| |
|
| When the Toran Liberation Army advanced into [[Lorimar]], Viktor unexpectedly came face to face with Neclord. Viktor and Tir McDohl travelled to [[Qlon Temple]], where they entered the [[Cave of the Past]] to find a weapon capable of harming Neclord. Viktor awakened the [[Star Dragon Sword]], who agreed to help them.
| | At the end of the war, he would stay behind in the crumbling castle along with Flik in order to ensure their leader's escape. In the immediate aftermath of the war, his whereabouts were unknown. |
|
| |
|
| Wielding the Star Dragon Sword, Viktor defeated Neclord. Afterwards, Viktor left the Toran Liberation Army in order to return to North Window and share the news of Neclord's defeat at his family's grave<ref>"Please. I must go deliver the news at my family's grave." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| | ===Suikoden II=== |
|
| |
|
| While returning to the Toran Liberation Army, Viktor visited the noble [[Warren]], but [[Kasim Hazil]] caught and imprisoned them in [[Moravia]]. The Toran Liberation Army launched a rescue effort and saved Viktor and Warren.
| | In reality, Viktor had left for [[South Window Principality]] with [[Flik]] immediately after the [[Gate Rune War]] but had gotten lost in the [[Karakas Desert]]. After a year and a half, they met with [[Anabelle]], the mayor of [[Muse City]] and started a mercenary group in her employment. Another year and a half after that and Viktor would discover [[Hero (Suikoden II)|a young man]] from the [[Highland Kingdom]] who had narrowly escaped a plot by [[Luca Blight]]. |
|
| |
|
| Following the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Viktor stayed behind in order to protect Tir from the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] soldiers who wanted to gain revenge for Emperor [[Barbarosa Rugner|Barbarosa's]] apparent death.
| | The [[Dunan Unification War]] would soon break out and Viktor's forces would be routed by the [[Highland Army]]. Viktor helped greatly in the foundation of the [[New State Army]] and supported its leader through his hardships. He was a prominent commander throughout the war and a driving force behind the army. |
|
| |
|
| After the war, Viktor was declared missing in action<ref>"Missing in action in the final battle." - Viktor's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| | During the conflict Viktor would discover that [[Neclord]] was still alive. With the aid of the techniques of [[Kahn Marley]] and [[Sierra Mikain]], he was able to strike down the [[vampire]] once and for all, sealing his revenge for good. After destroying Neclord in [[Tinto City]], Viktor would continue to serve in the New State Army for the remainder of the war. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality and Traits==
| | Following the Dunan Unification War, Viktor no longer had his journey of revenge. Instead, he began a journey of no purpose with his friend Flik. That said, as a person who lives by the sword, their eventual destination would likely be another battle in which they are needed. |
| A strong and muscular man, Viktor was said to resemble a bear<ref>"I've seen this bear-like man too." - Hix ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| |
| | |
| Viktor has an easy-going and friendly personality. As Odessa Silverberg noted, Viktor was likely to drag anyone who he liked into the Toran Liberation Army<ref>"I guess you've all been fooled by Viktor as well. Whenever he takes a liking to someone, he just drags them in. - Odessa Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Viktor also had a great sense of a loyalty. Even following Odessa's death, Viktor was quick to defend her<ref>"That what? I don't like your tone of voice. What's wrong with what Odessa was doing?" - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and felt guilty for not being able to protect her, even begging [[Flik]] for forgiveness<ref>"Forgive me, Flik. Forgive me..." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Viktor strove to defend Tir McDohl as well, even risking his life in [[Gregminster Palace]] to keep Tir safe<ref>"Tir, I'll stall them. You go on ahead." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| |
| | |
| Due to his travels and experiences, Viktor could sometimes get hunches about the future<ref>"After leaving my village behind, I traveled all over the place. I met all kinds of people, and experienced many things. That's why I sometimes have hunches. Gremio, stay here." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. He had a feeling that [[Gremio]] should not accompany Tir to [[Kunan]] and was proved correct when Gremio was killed in [[Soniere Prison]]. Viktor tried desperately to convince Gremio not to sacrifice himself<ref>"What are you talking about? We'll get by somehow. So hurry up and come..."- Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and was deeply affected by Gremio's death, taking Gremio's axe. Prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Viktor returned Gremio's axe to Tir, urging Tir to go on for all the soldiers who believed in a better future<ref>"I kept it hidden away until now. I thought it would only sadden you more. But I may lose my life tomorrow, so I thought I'd give it to you tonight. Tir, it will be a big battle tomorrow. May lives will be lost. But you must go on. For all the soldiers who believe in a better future. For Gremio. Right?" - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| |
| | |
| Viktor also had rogue tendencies. Viktor ran out on his bill after eating at [[Marie|Marie's]] Inn<ref>"No big deal. I was just wondering how to pay for my meal, and..." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, stole Gremio's money in order to leave Gregminster<ref>"Why should I use my own money to help you get away?" - Viktor<br>"What do you mean? Hey, my wallet! When did you...?" - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, lit [[Grady]]'s mansion on fire in an attempt to distract his guards<ref>"Viktor! What have you done? You didn't...?" - Gremio<br>"Heh, heh. I didn't do anything. It must be the dry weather." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and was more comfortable with stealing [[Kirinji]] than the more scrupulous Gremio<ref>"Are we pretending to be thieves now? How pathetic!" - Gremio<br>"Who's pretending? We are thieves." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Gremio tried to discourage Tir from taking after Viktor<ref>"My goodness! Young Master, don't you dare take after someone like this!" - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and understood why someone could call Viktor a deliquent<ref>"D-Delinquents! Don't you dare insult Young Master. I can understand such language for Viktor." - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| |
|
| |
| However, Viktor had a strong sense of morality. When [[Ain Gide]] refused to give way to the Toran Liberation Army, Viktor was hesitant to fight him<ref>"The Imperial Army is virtually finished! Please let us through. I owe you one, and would hate to harm you." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. After Ain Gide was killed in battle, Viktor commented that although Ain Gide had been wrong, his actions had been priceless<ref>"Yes, he was wrong. But just as some things can be right and useless at the same time, can't something be wrong... and priceless?" - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Viktor was also instrumental in saving a suicidal [[Sonya Shulen]] from casting herself into the fires of Shasarazade<ref>"Can't let a pretty lady like you die. Besides, you seem to have your reasons. Tir, we'll take this woman general with us." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
