Viktor

"""You and the people you’re travellin’ with, those teenagers and that pretty lady? You’re all so…so pungent. We just can’t resist a meal like this!"

- Viktor to Welsh

Introduction
Viktor was a vampire who served as a minor antagonist in Part Two of ASFS alongside Nilo.

Pre-ASFS
Not much is known about Viktor before the novel, other than at some point, he started working with Nilo and Ursula at the abandoned school.

ASFS
Viktor and Nilo kidnap Sentinels Welsh, Marsh, and the Salem Four from the plane headed to Boston. They then hang them by their feet.

Eventually, Marsh is killed by Ursula and Viktor corners Ash and Reg. Welsh, Mary, and Florence then come to help them, but Viktor orders Ursula to "kill 'em all". A fight then breaks out, leading to Florence and Reg being chased away by Nilo. Ash manages to get the upper hand against Viktor and defeats him, but when the school sets on fire, Viktor disappears in the flames, leaving his fate unknown.

Vampirism
Viktor is a vampire and can draw power by drinking the blood of other people. He has quicker reflexes than that of a normal person. It is unknown if vampirism is passed on by the traditional bite on the neck or by another method, as this has not been shown or mentioned anywhere.

Nilo
Viktor and Nilo appear to have a student-teacher relationship. Nilo is obviously younger than Viktor, but due to their slowed ageing, it is unknown just how much younger. It is possible that Nilo may have secretly hated Viktor, as in his dying breaths, he was going to thank Reginald Denham for killing him.

Ursula
Viktor appeared to care for Ursula and had trained her to obey his commands. When Ursula is killed, Viktor is enraged and becomes more feral.

List of people killed

Trivia

 * Judging by his accent, Viktor is from a southern state in America
 * Originally, Viktor was going to look more youthful, but with the inclusion of the Slaughter of the Demons, it was thought to make more sense that he would be older.
 * Before becoming a vampire, Viktor was once a witch, but over time, his abilities faded away.
 * Viktor's first appearance was initially going to be much earlier, with him advising the Salem Four to get on a different plane to New York instead, where Viktor would kidnap them from.
 * With Viktor's fate up in the air, it is possible that he may return at some point.
