## Physical description

Viktor is a Eurasian wolf standing 1.8 metres (5'11") tall and weighing just shy of 75 kilograms (165 pounds). His fur is coarse but soft. Its colour is predominantly a faded, greying brown (#76695D) with three vertical stripes of darker fur (#27221D) down his back. The central vertical stripe starts an inch above the base of his tail and goes to the base of his neck in roughly a long diamond shape four inches wide at its widest point. The other two vertical stripes are more or less mirrored from each other, offset an inch from the side edge of the central stripe, and starting three inches above the base of the tail and ending three inches below the tops of the shoulders. Viktor's hair is darker than that of his body (#27221D) and is spiked slightly. He has a tad of a beard. His muzzle has a 1.5-cm overbite. Viktor walks plantigrade.

Viktor wears silvered, oval glasses. The legs of his glasses initially start low, then angle upward to the proper position.

### Attire

Much of Viktor's attire is unknown simply because the creator hasn't thought that far ahead.

#### General attire

Viktor tends to wear a V-neck or polo shirt with jeans and boots.

#### Cold- and wet-weather

In cold or wet weather, Viktor will put a popped-collared olive trench-coat on over his other clothes. The trench-coat has one bullet hole in the left lapel, and two in the right.

## Biography

### Early life

Viktor was born on May 23, 1954 in Warsaw, Poland. He spent the first nineteen years of his life in Radzymin, a distant suburb to the north-east. Throughout school, Viktor was a genius when it came to mechanical knowledge. He also had the tendency to say the right thing at the right time, landing him a job as a local radio news-anchor.

On a particularly snowy night in January 1974, Viktor came home from the news station one to find several police cruisers outside his parents' house, and the entire property encircled in crime scene tape - his parents had been murdered with cyanide. A note near the corpse which read "You're next, Viktor" in neat cursive handwriting caused him to flee the country to Russia, settling down in an apartment across the street from the police department in downtown Petrozavodsk, Karelia, Russia.

### Russian life

Viktor became a mechanic at a lawn-mower shop up the street, working a typical 9-to-5. He met Katarzyna after one of those days, and married at age 29, settling down in a small house in uptown Petrozavodsk. In August 1986, his wife birthed a daughter named Natalya, and ten months later, a son named Mikhail. Natalya caught a fatal case of influenza in December 1987.

In January 1988, Viktor received a letter from an unknown address written in Polish, asking how the family was. Viktor initially disregarded the letter, but then remembered the night in January 1974, and began slipping his son non-fatal doses of cyanide. In November 1990 after a long night at work, he came to see Katarzyna killed by cyanide. Mikhail was made sick from cyanide, but ultimately survived. Rather than stay with Mikhail and risk his survival, Viktor withdrew all his money and left the next day for Finland, telling no-one where he'd gone.

### Finnish life

Viktor crossed the Finnish/Russian border under the assumed name "**Cyril Salonen**", and settled into a small one-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Kuopio. In 1995, he landed a job as a janitor at Radio Kuopio, and in 1998 he became the news-reader after a series of strange promotions. On his news desk is a framed duplicate of a photo of himself with a child Mikhail, the same photo Mikhail keeps in a drawer on his computer desk.

Viktor keeps in contact with a friend he refers to as "Grigori", who keeps tabs on Mikhail's health and well-being. Grigori is an assumed name; to help protect each others' identities, the two only talk via encrypted satellite telephone.

## Personal weapons

Viktor has only been shown as owning one firearm, excluding his Makarov-PM which Mikhail possesses.

## Trivia

* Viktor's colour scheme is almost literally a palette swap from Mikhail's. His fur colours are the same hues as Mikhail's, though desaturated.
