Background / History

Early life and civil war

Victor awakened memories of a past life at age twelve. From that point, he could see a tower-like phantom in his left palm that nobody else could perceive; he regarded it as his “golden finger,” though it initially gave no response despite years of experimentation. 1

His adult mentality made him unusually disciplined in study and martial training. Before becoming a territorial lord, he was widely praised in Bole County as an exemplary noble heir. 3

At seventeen, Victor served as a light cavalryman in the Eastern Third Legion during the Vera civil war. He led the Sixth Squad of the Light Cavalry Brigade, survived the collapse of Grand Duke Jola’s forces, and was temporarily assigned command of the Third Company while gathering stragglers and battlefield intelligence. 1 4

Inheritance and northern migration

After returning home, Victor helped organize Golden Sunflower Territory’s military expansion, including the recruitment of serfs with reduced taxes and the possibility of freedom after service. 10 13

Alex Iron Birch proposed exchanging the Golden Sunflower Territory’s eastern exclave for a larger northern holding. Victor accepted the arrangement, then inherited his father’s baronial title and led a large-scale migration north. 15 16 17

Upon reaching the new territory, he defeated a Barbarian cavalry force of 413 men while suffering only light casualties. The victory established the military foundation for Wood Fort Town, Sea Song Town, and the future Two Rivers Territory. 20 22 24

Rise as a Northern Frontier noble

Victor expanded his territory through military reform, settlement construction, trade, iron mining, steel production, education, and agricultural development. He also converted captured Barbarians into laborers, scouts, cavalrymen, and territorial auxiliaries. 25 45 97 120

During the Barbarian Tribal Alliance war, Victor repeatedly led high-risk operations, including flanking attacks and decapitation missions against tribal leaders. His achievements earned him promotion to Viscount. 70 81 89

Appearance

At seventeen, Victor was recorded as 181 cm tall and 80 kg. He has black hair and is described as possessing a handsome face concealing an exceptionally powerful physique. 1 14 312

• A tower-like phantom appears in his left palm, visible only to him. 1
• Possesses extraordinary physical strength; he can defeat coordinated groups of trained soldiers in moments. 376
• His grip is powerful enough to dislocate Viscount Sonanda’s hand with little apparent injury to himself. 312

Personality

Victor is pragmatic, self-disciplined, and strongly focused on long-term development. He treats military strength, population, infrastructure, food security, and trade as interconnected parts of territorial survival. 9 40 163

He values soldiers who serve him and consistently links military service to concrete rewards, compensation, land, or freedom. After suffering heavy casualties, he personally visited bereaved families to deliver severance pay and reassessed his army’s shortcomings rather than dismissing the losses. 21 90 93

Victor can also be ruthless when he judges a mission strategically necessary. During a covert operation in the western Duchy, he ordered attacks on fleeing civilians and the burning of houses to create confusion and divert enemy forces. 187
