Viktor de Winter
NAME: Viktor de Winter

OUTWARD PERSONA: Charming; with a devil may care attitude toward minor things. Serious about politics; and staying ahead of the other kingdoms. Thrives from the challenge of being the best; and smug at the thought of how Summer Land must see him. He is smart; and rather stop something before it can stab him in the back. Viktor would rather kill a messenger; then have the messenger take back more information then his reply.
DEEPER DETAILS: He liked to think two moves ahead; and know what he will do before it is time to do it. He hates surprises; being crossed; and things not going his way. Things will bother him more then he lets on; often using his light charm; or carefree demeanor to cover for whatever is effing him.

When he is pushed into losing his temper; Viktor losses his reasoning skills that were listed above.

HISTORY: Viktor was born to a decent family; his father a fisherman; and his mother a house wife. They were not rich but they were good. Growing bored and wanting to see the world; he left home with a group of the older boys to see the kingdoms before they came back to settle down. Trying to cross the dangerous middle grounds; they were robbed; beaten and left with nothing. Viktor and one other managed to get into Summer Land and find aid.
The boy went home; but refusing to admit defeat Viktor went on and joined a group of men who sold for hire. Working with them he learned to fight and plan jobs. He was smart and quick on his feet; and adapted well into every situation. Eventually he made his own band of men; took his own jobs; and named his own price. When one of these said jobs caused him promise to protect a shipment of smuggled good with his life; he kept that promise. One of the men he killed that day; was a high ranking nobleman's son. He caused Summer Land to send a small army for him; and for him to be tried and banished to the snow.
From his years of being a fisherman with his father; he knew how to get out of a storm; and build shelter from the snow at night and kept walking in the light until he found the northern stronghold. Other men lived there; making it a home for all who could make it this far. Some having been there all their lives. When the first men had settled there; they had traveled back south to get wives and bring them north. Women who were criminals too; or could be paid to come this far--the poor. Over a thousand lived in the castle; and there was room to spare.
Over the first years there; Viktor built a name for himself. He was able to hold his own in a fight; hunt well; defend his friends. He went with scouts to the borders to trade for supplies; and information. He brought a hawk at point of these meetings and trained it to hunt the skyies and give warning when the dragons came too close to a hunting party. When no man would defy him; and he had enough of their loyalty; he claimed himself king. TO mock the kingdom who sent him here; he took the name de Winter and called the land Winter Land.
The table was made from dark oak; leaving it thick heavy and the donate center piece in the room. Sitting at it's head; Viktor lifted one hand up to his nose and rubbed it to ease the use to kill the man. Either of them. "Where is she?" His voice was calm; but everyone knew it to be a lie. 'In the courtyard letting that thing get some air.' Her little pet ball of fire. Viktor lowered his hand and looked at the man standing; one of his men. The little fisherman from a small beach camp; king of his own bloody kingdom. "Is she aware?" Again; the lie of calm came.
The man standing looked down at his feet; where another man was crumpled and beaten badly. 'She saw nothing.' Good. He rather not let anything upset his wife at this point. She held his child; one that would be more legally the heir of Summer Land then that amusement that was there now. "She keeps sending these men for her daughter's heart." And he could ignore it for so long; for the sake of her daughter. "And one of of my heir." Not being able to kill his enemy was something new. He propped his boot on the table and pulled a long but thin dagger from his boot. "Let us send her back this man's heart. Find a bird. Send her that heart too." His lips twitched up at the thought; "See what she does when thinks she has won."
