Hey, I have a question, what does Viktor think about Yorick? I'm genuinely curious!

((There are two or perhaps three versions of an answer to this question, depending on which lore is being used.

In the old lore, with the IoW, Viktor knew Yorick, or at least heard of him. In this timeline, he is more familiar with the magic from other parts of the world, recognizing them as very real. Alas, even so, rumors still dominate and horror stories about the denizens of the Shadow Isles are almost the only ones that reach Viktor’s ear. However, Viktor recognizes that there’s more to the story than just gossip. He has encountered many of them on the Fields of Justice, and he sensed that Yorick is not like the other ones. He understood that his motives are not extensive, so to say, as they are for other Shadow Isles champions. They’re much more focused on himself. And even though Yorick stirs a sense of dread in the Machine Herald, Viktor managed to see a part of himself in the Gravedigger. He recognized the loneliness and the inner drive which keeps the person going in spite of all the obstacles. Yorick helps indirectly Viktor to think about himself and his own motives and goals. If he could, Viktor would like to even start  conversation with Yorick, because he seems intriguing, besides being scary. Yes, scary. Viktor is no stranger to undead people *cough* Urgot *cough*, but unlike the Headsman’s Pride, Yorick became undead by who knows what vile magic.

In the new lore, Viktor perhaps only heard stories of an evil magical place where the dead rule. And that’s what all of the denizens of the Shadow Isles are to him then: just fictional characters. Here, Viktor thinks that Yorick is just a cursed soul who cannot escape his destiny; not vile like the other undead. The Machine Herald here would hope to not be like the Gravedigger. He wants to be able to control his own destiny, and the story of Yorick serves him as a reminder of what he wishes to avoid.))
