#43 Special character bio - Viktor

Hello again. Time for a quick break in between writing this thing so I can, um, write this other thing. Thanks to everyone who has read this far – wow, you must really have a lot of spare time on your hands. Evidently I do too.

Every story nee some kind of struggle, something which the protagonists can overcome and learn from in the process. Well, most stories follow that pattern, even Spot (though his learning is more in the form of playing). The firs time around, Jay faced up against staff who didn’t quite trust him yet, strange patrons, a poltergeist, and Shannon. This time it’s Boudecia’s perilous quests, Shannon (again), the BiblioTech take-over, and…



VIKTOR
Viktor (35) is a liaison-cum-library manager from the BiblioTech Corporation, which provides new technology and services to libraries. While a corporation cannot be inherently evil in and of itself, the actions of the people who represent it certainly can be. Viktor cares about money and status more than anything else. To him, providing the public with the best quality of information services is just a means of keeping that power and wealth. The people he works with are competitors not colleagues, and he sees it as his right to keep them in their place (or out of his) when they try to do something he sees as threatening to the things he loves, such as not being as efficient as physically possible.

Viktor plays his cards very close to his hand. He smiles with his mouth but never with his eyes, unless he is getting his way. He regularly finds controlling people easy, and thus is completely thrown by Boudecia, who has thwarted his plans. She is the only thing is preventing him from taking over the library. Well, as you’ll find out, almost the only thing.



Enjoy!
