Character description

Viktor is the archivist of Seven Mile Bottom, the custodian of records and keeper of order. His chamber is lined with scrolls and ledgers, each page bearing the stern mark of his hand.

He sits firmly in seriousness pushed too far (5). Rules, records, and order weigh heavily on him, and laughter finds little space in his company. This gravity preserves knowledge and discipline, but it leaves him rigid, unyielding, and difficult to approach.

His contentment runs too deep (1). Viktor accepts the world as it is, seldom questioning or reaching beyond what has been written. This steadiness anchors the archive but can stagnate growth, leaving him slow to embrace change.

Yet he carries strengths as well. He leans independent (4), able to hold to his judgment even under pressure. He respects rule-following (4), upholding fairness and consistency in village life. These traits make him a pillar of order, though they also set him apart.

On other scales, Viktor balances. He is neither rash nor hesitant (3 in bravery). Neither overly patient nor reckless (3 in pacing). Confident enough without arrogance (3 in confidence). Practical and steady (3). Neither too blunt nor over-kind (3). Not secretive, not overly open (3).

Viktor is the ledger of Seven Mile Bottom, his seriousness preserving what others would forget. He ensures nothing is lost, though in doing so, he risks losing warmth himself.
