Viktor Thunderfoot

Viktor Thunderfoot is a dwarven nobleman and ambassador on behalf of King Keldar Windbeard of Eriabourne.
== History and Personality ==
Viktor is a member of the extensive Thunderfoot family, a wealthy mining family from the city of Ironhearth Hall. As a fourthborn child, Viktor was assigned to serve Moradin as a priest. However, after Viktor's older brothers were killed by a mine collapse, Viktor's family demanded that he return to supervise Ambercliff Mine. Viktor proved to be an efficient supervisor, and for fifty years the remaining natural gold deposits were extracted. The taxes that the Thunderfoots paid during this period brought wealth to Windbeard's coffers, and Viktor was granted a generous position at court as the king's Ambassador.
In manner, Viktor is ambitious and cynical, but also amiable and popular. Viktor has many friends at court and maintains good relations with the dwarven lords throughout Eriabourne. He is also well known at Coldharbour and gets on well with King Geralt Whitecloak.
== Skills and Powers ==
Viktor Thunderfoot is a competent combatant, due to his military training during his clergy days. However, his true strength lies in his cunning and personal charisma, which is unusual among dwarves and makes him a natural diplomat. He can also cast basic divine spells.
== In the Campaign ==
Viktor became known to the party when he traveled to Widow's Watch in order to appeal to the Bloodsworn. In the village of Ilvaska, experienced thieves had sacked an adventuring store and apparently desecrated the Temple of Moradin. Viktor asked Azuk, Keldin, Salazar and Tam to meet with Objorn and to track down the thieves. After the Bloodsworn brought the stolen goods back, and slew the dragon Marrokystrian, Viktor thanked them for their assistance. They advised him that the Illithid Oobastis may have infiltrated the court of King Keldar, and Viktor offered them a royal audience to discuss this matter.
The Bloodsworn arrived at Ironhearth Hall in the Ruby Reaches, where they appealed before Keldar and Viktor vouched for them. Viktor was one of the first to join their tentative alliance alongside Dorin Lowboot and Volinda Duffheim. During the confrontation with the dominated royal family in the throne room, Viktor cast protective spells on the Bloodsworn and healed the wounded. He was heavily injured by Ulfgaar Dourbeard, the mind-controlled captain of guard, but has since recovered from his injuries.
