Professor Alabaster Blackhorn

A renowned archaeologist and historian, widely regarded as an expert in ancient civilizations, Blackhorn aims to bring to light the lost knowledge hidden in the deep.

during one of Blackhorn's early expeditions, where his team of archaeologists found themselves trapped within the treacherous confines of a temple that had unexpectedly crumbled. With rubble and debris blocking their escape, the situation seemed dire.
Alerted to the predicament, Viktor swiftly arrived at the scene, assessing the situation with a practiced eye. Recognizing the delicate nature of the temple's architecture and the potential for further collapse, he meticulously planned a rescue operation that would minimize damage to the ancient structure while ensuring the team's safe extraction. His meticulous approach and profound respect for the historical value of the site impressed Blackhorn and his team.

Impressed by Viktor's skill, integrity, and commitment to their common goal, Professor Blackhorn insisted that Viktor remain with the archaeological team for the duration of their stay. From that moment on, Viktor became an integral part of the team, working closely with Blackhorn and the other archaeologists. He offered his expertise in assessing the structural stability of ancient ruins, ensuring the safety of the team during excavations, and providing valuable insights on potential obstacles and hidden dangers.

As the years passed, Viktor's friendship with Professor Blackhorn continued to deepen, transcending the boundaries of their work. They became confidants, sharing personal stories, offering support during times of hardship, and celebrating their triumphs together.

In the case of the Xalendra expedition, Viktor was handpicked by Blackhorn due to his exceptional skills and experience in navigating treacherous terrain and using explosives to overcome obstacles as proven when he was first hired by Alabaster for their dive into the Virentia temples.
