Professor Viktor Hazan

Viktor Hazan is a prominent professor of Philosophy at the University of Richemulot. Equally, he is a ranking member of the Fraternity of Shadows.

Late is 759 BC Hazan and the Fraternity were betrayed by a former colleague and Brother, Erik van Rijn: an aging transmuter, who broke the laws of the brotherhood to seek lichdom. Stealing the plans for a terrible superweapon from the Fraternity’s archives, Van Rijn has gone into hiding somewhere in the Land of Mists, and Hazan (once his closest friend) now leads the search for the renegade lich, to recapture the brotherhood’s secrets and prove his own loyalty to the Umbra.

In his latest effort to track down his former friend, Viktor was assisted by Paul Dirac, a younger Fraternity member with past experience in the Nocturnal Sea region. Both men documented their discoveries and observations, even as they scoured the islands for Van Rijn.

The Fraternity is a society of scholars, and won’t waste the opportunity to learn about this latest addition to the Core.

Viktor Hazan dismisses "S" in these terms: "a stern scholar for whom I once sat as token out-of branch examiner in Darkon. She tried to impress the Brautslava cell’s admissions committee by her superior wit, yet failed the second figment quiz. Her own arcane interests, she’d sullenly retorted, lay elsewhere. It’d been a while since I saw her work in the occult journals; I wondered what had happened to her and what kind of trouble she was involved in now." (Nocturnal Sea Gazetteer, p119.)

Viktor Hazan dismisses Scrying and the Nature of Visions and its author, Professor Mirella Agrippa, in these terms: "I chuckled over and annotated her errors, emotionally-based comments and weak hypotheses. (No wonder that women are rarely accepted into our Fraternity. That’s just how it is, I guess.) (Nocturnal Sea Gazetteer, p119.)
