Talents:

• Magic & Dueling -
• Legilimency -
• Animagus -
• Cunning & Manipulation -
• Scholarly Pursuits -

Weaknesses:

• Dark Arts - Though Unmarked and holding no allegiance whatsoever to Lord Voldemort, Viktor is not opposed to the use of the Dark Arts, employing a number of Curses, Hexes and Jinxs to his repertoire of spells, including the infamous Killing Curse. This use of Dark Magic has affected Viktor slightly, giving him a pallid, somewhat sickly complexion and causing his hair to lose some of its lustrous color. On a psychological factor, Viktor will suffer from chronic nightmares and bouts of insomnia, which can have an adverse affect on him if not checked.
• Pragmatism - Perhaps Viktor's worst trait is his tendency to see the "big-picture", looking at long-term goals and effects as opposed to seeing things in the more short term. As a result, he has no problem sacrificing a dozen Wizards or Muggles if it means saving a hundred. This can make him indifferent or seemingly uncaring towards the feelings of others as he'll risk the anger or hatred of others if it means producing long-term beneficial results.
• Secrecy - Viktor is a highly secretive individual, never seeming to fully give away his plans or tactics to anyone. Though his loyalty is without question, one can rather easily tell that there's more to him than he gives off. He never discusses his past, always keeps others at arm's length and retains an air of mystery, seeming to prefer things that way. Because of this, Viktor has a hard time trusting other people, wary of their true intentions. As such, it can be difficult to call him dependable or truthful unless one fully comprehends his loyalty to the Ashes.

Favourite Spells:

• Sectumsempra - A rather dangerous curse, when the incantation is uttered its effect is the equivalent of an invisible sword; it is used to slash the victim from a distance, causing rather deep wounds. The slash follows the user's wand movements. Due to the depths of the cut, the victims run the risk of dying from blood loss if treatment is not applied in time, if the wounds are not instantly fatal.

It isn't set in stone! It was originally Albert(a) who owned the manor.

I don't have any issues with a werewolf owning the manor and lending it out. I think maybe the quirks of the building (like women getting the good rooms and men getting the ones in the antiquated servant's quarters) can be written off to "eh, magic" then :3

<Snipped quote by McHaggis>

Ah, don't want to step on Jig's toes or anything. Though I'm sure I can think up a reason or two as to the favoritism.

but McHaggis mentioned non canon spells being allowed in the Spells list :)

@Jig is completely right.

@Pirouette – Erin is ACCEPTED! Irish witch? Yes!

Do you know who the painting is of? I absolutely know her face from somewhere.

I think it would be interesting if his role was simply 'Saboteur' rather than both that and Duellist, just going from how he plans to take people down. Just a minor change, if you're willing, but I'm ultimately not fussed about that!

In terms of Runes and Arithmancy, I always considered their uses being in curse-breaking or warding, but they could certainly be used on the smaller scale to create the magical equivalent of tripwires/booby-traps. Maybe have traps drawn in Runes well in advance be more powerful/longer-lasting than Charm-based ones?

Either way, ACCEPTED – an interesting role, and looking forward to reading him in any combat.
