How large is the Glorious Evolution?
I was wondering how large and how influential Viktor's "Glorious Evolution" is on Zaun. I'm fairly sure Camille has heard about it which means it must at least hold some influence in Zaun right?

Considering how there are many people with augments, basically anyone who is or works for a wealthy person, its probably a pretty big deal. The only thing is that Viktor lives in Zaun and isn't a well known hero or a notorious Chem Baron, so he might not be super well known even if his science creates big ripples.
Camille most likely knows about him because thats basically her job, to keep tabs on the big players of the cities.
Viktor sees his Glorious Evolution as an inevitability and doesn't push hard for it, like a converter; rather, he converts by showing his ideas in practice. You see in his color story that he doesn't start proselytizing to the kid who's getting bullied; he identifies the kid's problem and gives him a solution, offering to make it permanent if it's something he finds he likes. And he's an introverted man who vastly prefers solitude. As a consequence, the spread of his ideas would likely be very very slow. Most people in Zaun who know of the Evolution probably know it through the church of the glorious evolved, which iirc Viktor doesn't really care for.
On the other hand, there are devotees of the Evolution in both Piltover and Zaun. So... assuming you count the Church Viktor doesn't like as part of his evolution, it has a fair bit of influence.
