Two mechanical thumbs up for Viktor's lore.
There's not much to say beyond infinite praise. I'm biased, I've loved Viktor ever since I learned about him and his lore, but this is fantastic.
He's flawed, he's not perfect. He's trying his hardest to better humanity and himself. He's a genuine utilitarian, but because his methods are unorthodox and controversial, he's shut down at every point by people who don't understand him. He's not a strictly bad guy, or a strictly good guy. He's just a man trying to do right by the world, and trying his damn hardest to make everything better.
The only problem is, what he views as the core problem is placed upon a pedestal by most of society: human error.
His interaction with the boy in his colour story was frankly heartwarming. He's not a villain, a roguish scoundrel tenting his fingers and laughing maniacally in the darkness. He's a human being trying to improve himself and others around him, granted, by stripping away the flaws borne of humanity itself.
Which is part of where the moral complexity and ambiguity comes in. Supporting Viktor's cause is an entirely valid stance, while not supporting it is equally valid.
Of course, there's still no denying Jayce is a huge ass.
Bravo, lore team, bravo.
