Viktor

Viktor is the main protagonist of the Duke of Death and his Maid series.

Appearance
Viktor is an young man with short messy curly black hair, commonly hidden under his top hat. He has dark circles under his eyes. He usually wears suits with a tie, sometimes without his hat or suit jacket. He is also seen wearing gloves.

When going outside Viktor wears an outfit, similar to a plague doctor which consists of a cape, a bird-like mask, and his signature top hat.

Personality
Viktor is timid and weak. He is very nervous when it comes to talking to other people as he hasn't had many social interactions for most of his life due to being confined to his mansion. Because of how other people are afraid of him duke does not have any self confidence which causes him to become more depressed. He is also easily embarrassed as shown when Alice tries to get a rise out of him.

Background
Viktor is the firstborn of his noble family and was considered to be the next head of his family. As the single possessor of a curse Viktor lives alone in a decrepit mansion located deep within a forest with his servants, Alice and Rob. Before Viktor had been cursed he used to be an outgoing child. Playing with friends and interacting with his family. However when he had turned 5 years old a witch of unknown origin had cursed him. This curse prevents him from being able to touch living things or be touched by living things as anything that he touches or touches him will die.

Rob Gardner
Rob Gardner is Viktor's butler and Father-like figure. Rob knowing Viktor since he was child, he was sent away with him to the separate Estate. After multiple years of isolation Rob brought Alice Lendrott to the separate Estate so that she may become a maid, albeit without any such request being given to him by Viktor. Viktor repeatedly questions Rob on what the best course of action with his love and also tells him secrets which shows a complete trust in his Butler a trust that also backfires alongside Viktor being annoyed at how often Rob does things without asking him even if he knows he is well intentioned. In chapter 217 it is shown Alice left a note saying she is taking her leave, after finding out about this he runs to Rob and questions him, Rob admitting he knew begins to get yelled at by Viktor. Having written down when Alice was leaving however he hands the piece of paper to Viktor allowing him to catch up and talk to Alice. During Chapter 220 it is shown that Rob now lives with Viktor and Alice for the moment, interrupting their dance. When Viktor displays his thought on wanting Rob to live permanently with both him and Alice, Rob considering it walks away and displays he wishes to think about it. In Chapter 223 (moon) it is heavily implied Rob takes up Viktor on his offer and stays.

Alice
Alice is his current maid and caretaker. The two have known each other since they were little. After a certain period of time Alice decided to work in Viktor's mansion as his caretaker. However she loves to tease him, often exposing parts of her body or saying embarrassing things to him in order to see what his reaction is. However she does genuinely care for him and decides to help him break his curse. Unlike most people she does not show any signs of being afraid of him despite what his curse causes. Nor is she afraid to get close to him (mostly to tease him). It is implied that she has feelings for him and vice versa. They later get married, after his curse got lifted.

Phillip
Phillip was Viktor's childhood friend. When they were both younger they would often play together. When they did play Phillip would often pull pranks on Viktor often throwing bugs at him or chasing him around with a snake in his hand. However after Phillip became aware of the dukes curse he has grown to be very afraid of him. He now wants nothing to do with Viktor as he afraid of being near and has called him a monster as well. Viktor eventually reconciles with Phillip by the end of the story after his curse is removed.
