Victor

Victor is an elderly psychologist, grey-haired and composed, a career man of government service whose specialty is the mind under strain: how people bear stress, isolation, and responsibility, and what keeps them functional when circumstances press hard. His manner is deliberate and professionally distant, the calm of someone long practiced at watching others closely while giving little of himself away. He is precise with medication, careful with words, and patient in the way of a man who believes most problems reward observation over action. Those who work near him sense both genuine thoughtfulness and a mind that is always, quietly, assessing.
