Viktor Kerensky

Viktor Kerensky (b. 31 July 1973) is a Carthage magician sworn to House Roche. Although he is a magician of the Guild, he prefers to travel around the world to gather magic items.

History
Viktor Kerensky was born to an unknown woman on 31 July 1973. He was abandoned shortly after his birth at a nearby church and was taken to an orphanage afterwards. He spent the first 8 years of his life at the orphanage before he was adopted by Nikolai Kerensky. Nikolai was a magician of the Guild of Magicians sworn to House Roche. Although both Viktor and Nikolai faced severe discrimination due to Viktor's status as a Carthage magician, Viktor was educated at a Guild school and received a standard magical education. He received the rank of journeyman magician at the age of 13 and the rank of master magician at the age of 19.

Personal Life
Viktor's biological parents are unknown. He was abandoned shortly after his birth and spent much of his childhood.

Viktor's only true parent was Nikolai Kerensky, a magician of the Guild sworn to House Roche. Although Nikolai faced severe criticism for adopting a potentially dangerous Carthage magician, Nikolai treated Viktor as a normal magical child and gave Viktor a standard magical education.

Focus
Viktor uses a gold necklace as his focus. The focus appears to be a specialized focus, though how the focus works or what it enhances is unknown.

The necklace uses a gold chain to support the central ornamentation. There are two gold plates engraved with magic arrays with a large ruby at the center. Five teardrop-shaped pieces of gold hang from the plates and ruby.

Grimoire
Viktor's grimoire is unusual in its size and capabilities. The grimoire is referred to as Viktor's treasury, and it holds all of the magic items that Viktor has collected throughout his travels. The grimoire seems to be capable of reproducing lower-class magic items, enabling a near infinite number of magic items for Viktor's use, but this ability does not seem to apply to artifacts as artifacts are products of the Echo rather than a human method.

The grimoire appears to have an infinite capacity and holds a large number of magic items and artifacts. Viktor is able to choose items from the grimoire, either summoning them directly into his hand, pull them out from directly behind him, or prepare them in midair to use as projectiles. A magic item used as a projectile is often destroyed in the process, so Viktor tends to prefer using lower-class magic items in this manner. It is possible to block many of the magic item projectiles, the inability to know the attributes of the magic items in question make this action a near-suicidal prospect.
