Victor

Victor is a black powder merchant encountered by Percy in Vasselheim.

He is described as a lithe, crooked-looked man who is quite elderly but very spry for his size. His arms and legs are quite spider-like and lanky. He has frazzled grey hair and wears spectacles, at least for his work. Supplied with a variety of refuse from mining operations (gravel, sulfur, quartz, etc), he has apparently utilized them in the creation of black power (presumably sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter). Erratic and obsessive compulsive, he is considered to be a "crazy old coot" by some denizens of the town.
