He grew up in New York but try’s to hide his accent by speaking in a monotone voice With his pince-nez mien and impeccable presentation, Mordecai might look excessively bookish - and he is - but he's also a proficient triggerman and the Marigold gang's latest acquisition. Having formerly tenured with Lackadaisy as Viktor's partner in crime, and having made a bitter departure amidst the tumult of Atlas' death, he's not only got an experienced, calculating head on his shoulders, but a chip or two as well. Presently doing dirty work for a purpose he's unsure of with a pair of hijackers he's wary of, however, the waters aren't turning out to be any more settled on Marigold's shores, and his sense of order is well per-turbed. Something will need to be done about that. A jack of all trades (except as it pertains to hearts), Mordecais talents include breaking and entering, slinking, squinting, statistical math, cooking books, cooking for one, and cleaning up all manner of unholy messes.

He doesn’t initiate affection He doesn’t like being interrupted He’s very professional He likes keeping conversations serious Has the best reactions and expressions Try’s to stay serious but his reactions makes him not be able to be taken seriously Relationships Atlas May A quiet man with an expressive brow, Atlas possesses the life experience to recognize a young man in need of assistance and skill to offer it without a word. With just a glance, a heartbeat, and a firearm left within a discarded newspaper, Atlas May provided Mordecai with the tool needed to break free of fate and seize control of his destiny. There's little information regarding the four years between their first interaction on a train in 1916 and the Lackadaisy Speakeasy opening. Before becoming an entrepreneur of illicit substances, Atlas is known as a restaurateur, already owning the Little Daisy Cafe above the caves that would eventually disguise the true nature of his business when prohibition law came into full force in 1920. Given his affinity for bookkeeping, it's feasible Mordecai was kept on to manage the accounts at the Little Daisy Cafe, though his history with embezzlement and bookkeepers lends itself to illicit trading. Mordecai was hardly recruited on the traditional way either, which could imply that there was some illegal activity going on before prohibition, which would serve to increase the incentive to participate in illicit activities. Regardless of the goods involved or seemingly the job required, Mordecai was devoted to his service until Atlas’s untimely death in 1926. To Mordecai, a young man in a new city and emancipated from his family for their protection, Atlas May became a veritable anchor. Mordecai may have even modeled his disinterested, flat tone and permanent scowl off of Atlas' own business appearance. It is also possible that Atlas became a surrogate father figure to Mordecai, whose own father passed away when he was just a kitten. Additionally, potentially no contact with his family since he fled New York places those at the Lackadaisy not only as the young man's found family, but Atlas as his role model, especially as he's newly introduced to the St. Louis underworld. An additional piece of evidence is Mitzi describing Mordecai as Atlas’s, “wayward golden boy,”showing a connection that was equally deep on Atlas’s side (Lackadaisy Proposition). There are limited resources in regard to both his personal and professional relationship with Atlas May, but what can be heavily inferred is a deep respect extending beyond simple loyalty. It's suggested Atlas helped Mordecai deal with some of his past pursuers, potentially indebting his life to the entrepreneur once more. Even after abandoning Lackadaisy for greener pastures, Mordecai actively conducts private inquiries while working for Mirabel Hotel, going so far as to conceal an intended target of Asa Sweet to question him further. While conducting these inquiries, Mordecai is seen in his least composed state; he lacks his waistcoat and suit jacket, his shirt is stained with blood where his chest still bleeds and he looks generally disheveled. This divergence from his usual appearance could speak to a desperation to uncover the truth of Atlas’s death - He is even willing to let his target go in exchange for information, implying that he values his investigation into Atlas’s death more than loyalty to his new organization. Additionally, He agrees with the notion his new position may consist of tying up the loose ends of Atlas' death, and it evidently troubles Mordecai greatly this could be true. Rocky Rickaby Mordecai has known Rocky since before he left Lackadaisy. Due to Rocky's immature and childish personality, Mordecai seems to hold some level of aloofness for him. In "Heartstrings", Rocky offers Mordecai a respectful handshake by calling him "Ol'Serious Face". In response, Mordecai calls Rocky ridiculous. Rocky asks Mitzi whether he should confront Mordecai after he notices that her conversation with him has brought her to tears in "Haggersnash", but Mitzi tells him to keep his distance. According to Tracy Butler, there's more to show regarding Mordecai and Rocky's relationship.[4] Viktor Ladislav Vasko Before separation from Lackadaisy, the two worked together as Atlas's triggermen. Fighting effectively together, eliminating opposition, and disposing of bodies. On the job, the two engage in mild (if slightly one-sided) banter, and in less serious situations were capable of casual small talk. There seemed to be a respect between the two. However, it has evidently gone sour as they parted ways, Mordecai having knee-capped Viktor. The two have not interacted since.

Viktor is a very reserved, gruff, taciturn and churlish individual who nearly always overcomes obstacles in his path through either fists, passive-aggressive remarks or intimidation. Viktor Ladislav Vasko is a member of the Lackadaisy crew. Though is normally the bartender, he was a triggerman under Atlas until he was injured in a confrontation with Mordecai. Viktor: Siberian Forest Cat or similar large, long haired breed; not sure about color, he's closest to a brown tabby but with very, very light tips/lack of cat fur. He speaks in a low, brusque voice with a heavy Slovakian accent (which is fairly Slavic sounding but mostly for me it sounds Russian? Viktor is a large adult cat with orange fur and a green colored eye. He has cream-colored accents on his eyebrows, mouth, hands, and tail. One of his eyes is missing, so he wears a black eyepatch over the empty socket. He has black stripes around his mouth, which causes him to slightly resemble a tiger. Viktor Vasko Gender. Male.
