He can be prone to getting easily annoyed if he feels like he hasn't had enough time to decompress by himself after extended social interactions. He approaches problems with an efficient, detail-oriented thought process, and feels immense satisfaction upon solving a problem successfully.
He has a mischievous side, and delights in successfully sneaking around and going places he shouldn't necessarily go without people noticing him. He has a bit of a habit and a knack for finding out things he's not supposed to know, and is not opposed to using said information to ambitious ends.

BIRTHPLACE:
Telgar Hold
HISTORY:
He was born in Telgar hold to two parents who were loving, but also very work-focused and no-nonsense. His father was a journeyman in the smithcraft hall, who was a hard-working and dedicated smith, but not very efficiently-minded. His mother was a drudge at Telgar Hold.
As a child, Vikov was always trying to climb things, and would often fall, but would always try again. One time when he fell from the height of a low balcony, he sprained his right ankle and cut the left-side of his face, vertically along the edge of the building facade. It was not a severe enough injury to damage his eye, but he still bears the scar of the cut today.
He was accepted into the Smithcraft during his 14th turn, apprenticing under the same Master Smith whom his father had apprenticed under.
His mother died of an illness during the winter, in the beginning of his 22nd turn, which devastated his father. His father left the Smithcraft afterwards and wasted away at home. Vikov was re-apprenticed to the Master Smith his father had trained under. His father died in the autumn of that same turn. Vikov was made depressed by the deaths of his parents, and began neglecting his duties in the Craft.
When Riders from Telgar Wyr came to Telgar Hold on Search during his 23rd turn, he quickly realized that he felt his former life in Telgar Hold was over. He immediately began hoping he would be selected as a candidate. he was selected, but did not impress at the hatching, and has since transferred to Semaca Wyr via shipping routes in hopes of impressing at the next Semaca hatching.
