Viktor Vasko

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. His usual outfit is a black turtleneck sweater with black suspenders, blue-green pants, and brown shoes. Viktor was born on April 16th, 1886 in Pressburg, Austria-Hungary (modern day Bratislava, Slovakia), he formally worked on a farm with his brothers and cousins and later moved to the United States, due to this he never finished his education. Sometime during World War One he was sent to France and fought under the states. He later worked as a dockworker, in 1920 he got in a fight with strikebreakers during a strikers’s rally leading to the loss of his right eye due to a pry bar injury from police and being charged with multiple counts of assault, though Atlas helps Viktor get a lawyer and has his sentence reduced, after Viktor is let go from jail, he works for Atlas as a triggerman. After Atlas’s death in 1926, Mordecai and Viktor get into a fight about Viktor retiring, leading to Mordecai kneecapping Viktor, though Viktor stays with Lackadaisy due to him having “ no where else to go” he later works as a bartender. After the pig farmers attack Lackadaisy, Viktor gets shot in the chest by Emery with a double-barrel shotgun, though injured Viktor was still able to protect Ivy and kill Benjy with his bare hands, eventually he becomes weaker and has his bullet removed by Doctor Leo. After the incident, Viktor sits in bed and constantly coughs, he is seen drinking Laudanum. 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. His very stern nature is the reason Rocky - his self-proclaimed protégé - tends to refer to him as the "surly Slovak". One of the only people of the Lackadaisy crew who can somewhat control or even talk down to him without consequence is Ivy, whose stubbornness and assertiveness overwhelms even him.
