Viktor

Lord Viktor is the head of House Mikeli and a Guildmaster in Vani who previously served as the Centurion’s consort and has resurfaced as a contender in the current succession contest; he is viewed as a respectable, conventional candidate with strong guild connections rather than an obvious political firebrand. Observers (including Carol and members of the Temple) consider him acceptable—Carol noted he “would be fine” as Consort though she preferred Leopold for Julia—and there is no evidence tying him to the dagger theft or to the Broken/Slith plots the Middlesea Free Rangers are investigating. Compared with the more surprising or disruptive candidates (like Richard or Piotr), Viktor is steady and unremarkable in method: influential within merchant/guild circles, lacking known scandal, and not currently suspected of being Bent or Broken.
