Vicker

Appearance
He was short, a bit fat and balding, his few remaining hairs completely grey. His face was round and kind looking, with a big nose and thick, luscious moustaches. His eyes were tiny, and almost always squinting behind a pair of elegant glasses.

Personality
He looked like a kindly old grandfather, but he was actually a dangerous and ruthless person, a moneylender who had ruined many people without a shred of mercy or compassion. He had gained his nickname, the Vulture, because of his habit of stalking his debtor, like a vulture would follow a dying animal.

History
Loaned Karl (Klara's grandfather) some funds to finance his failed expedition to the Heart of Darkness. Intends to collect them from Klara but in reality is after the Magical Book Karl possessed which contained the info about the Golden Temple in the Dark Heart. He worked with Zeno to turn Oakfell against Klara in order to get her to settle her debts by selling him the book alongside other assets.

Minions
Sergei - Vicker's Minotaur bodyguard.
