Viktor Idinarohk/Relationships

## Family

### Lerchenlied

Lerchenlied was Vika's milk sister, their bond was a complicated mix of sibling, master-servant, and a crush on the part of Vika. After her death, Vika dedicated himself to defending the nation, as it was Lerchenlied's one final wish. Vika lamented that he did not get to kiss her even once.

### Zafar Idinarohk

Zafar is Vika's reliable older brother and his candidate of choice for the succession of the throne. As they were both children born from Mariana Idinarohk, they have built a trusting and caring relationship. Unlike his half siblings, Zafar respects Vika despite his twisted tendecies. Vika attributes all of his military achievements to Zafar in support of his candidacy.

### The King

Vika and his father share a good son-father bond. The king treats his youngest son kindly despite Vika's twisted acts. This is best seen at the beginning of Death, Be Not Proud when the king doesn't mind his son appearing infront of him wearing a school uniform instead of something more formal, or when talking about sending Vika to help the Strike Package the narration treated the dialogue as a father asking his son to run an errand.

### Mariana Idinarohk

Vika's mother who he could never meet due her death during his birth. As a kid Vika wanted to meet her so he opened her corpse's head and scanned her brain to create the Mariana AI model to hear her voice, the process failed but he didn't give up which would have catastrophic consequences for the world. Even in the present Vika hasn't fully given up his wish, even asking Shin if he could hear Mariana's voice from her remains.

### Svetlana Idinarohk

As fellow Amethystus Vika and his aunt share the same lack of morality which makes it easy to both interact without issues, when Vika asked to use his aunt's armory she called him naive but still agreed to help the son of her precious brother.

### Martina

Martina was a retainer of Mariana and due being breastfeeding Lerchenlied she was appointed as Vika's milk mother. Vika treats Martina respectfully, not minding if she hates him for creating a copy of her daughter to serve him because he understands she has the right to do it.

## Strike Package Members

### Lerche

Lerche is a Sirin based on the personality of Lerchenlied. Lerche is subservient to Vika and follows his commands dutifully. She is capable of defying him, however, such as when she refused to tell him the details of a conversation between herself and Shin. She eventually acquiesced to his question once it was posed as a request rather than an order. Outside of duty, they have a playful quarreling relationship.

Vika cherishes Lerche and does not think of her as a mere weapon; she is one of the only things he would allow himself to be sentimental towards. Vika intentionally created Lerche to be Lerchenlied's only vessel. Once Lerche fell on the battlefield, he would allow her the release of death, unlike the other Sirins who would be brought back into service. He was hurt when Lerche proposed that he finalize his marriage with a princess candidate. He dislikes the idea of choosing another woman, especially when she is the one asking him to.

Lerche personally feels troubled by Vika's strong feelings toward her. She deems herself but a casket, a coffin fashioned for the woman she was modeled after. Thus, Vika, the living, should not be attached to such a coffin; Otherwise, he could be dragged down along with it.

### Shinei Nouzen

Vika was interested in Shin's ability to hear the voice of the dead because the prince wanted to hear his mother's voice. As they interacted the formed a strange relation as Vika found Shin's attitude amusing while the Eighty-Six came to hate the prince for his twisted personality. Vika saw the love Shin felt towards Lena and tried to play match-maker and was quite critic of how Shin tried to distance himself from her. The two managed to improve their relationship and currently are in friendly terms.

### Vladilena Milizé

Vika always acts cordially when interacting with Lena, though he has no issue of not following her orders if he deems it necessary. Vika is also very aware of Lena's love towards Shin and being amused at it, even helping the two to have moments alone, like when he assigned Shin to be Lena's escort after a meeting.
