Who is Viktor in Arcane?
The quiet partner with the borrowed time · Piltover
Viktor (The quiet partner with the borrowed time) is a character in Arcane, part of Piltover. Viktor limped out of the undercity on a crutch and into the academy on pure brilliance — assistant to Heimerdinger, co-creator of Hextech, and the half of the Talis partnership that asks what the invention can do for people who aren't rich yet.
