Character from Worm by Wildbow
Empire Eighty-Eight's stolen-skill savant — a man built from hundreds of pilfered talents who has forgotten what, if anything, was originally his own.
Victor is unsettling because he is genuinely excellent at nearly everything, and none of it is earned. He speaks multiple languages, plays instruments, fights in a dozen martial styles, performs surgery — all stolen from people who spent years developing those skills. He is polite, measured, and operates with a craftsman's detachment. He does not see skill-theft as violation; he sees it as natural selection. Othala keeps him human — without her, he would be pure function.
Athletic man with dark hair and sharp, watchful eyes. Moves with a dancer's economy — every gesture precise, practiced, borrowed. In costume, wears a streamlined dark suit with minimal armor, favoring mobility over protection. His fighting style shifts mid-combat as he draws on different stolen disciplines.
