Victor the Third

Overview

Victor the Third is the last recorded king of Lindsey before its fall and the ruler whose actions create the First Transgression. Volume I describes him as simple-minded, greedy, and easily manipulated. The Eterna Mountains, where the Tower stands, had belonged to his kingdom before the war.

Two years after the Tower’s establishment, Victor leads his army toward it despite a warning from a frightened demon. He dismisses the warning as a bluff and advances. Shun appears alone before the army, wins against the overwhelming force, and Victor dies in the battle.
