Sometime, Vikter was tasked with protecting Poppy in her position as a Maiden. While doing so, he started to see Poppy like his own daughter and secretly trained her to fight.

From Blood and Ash[]
Vikter was a seasoned member of the Royal Guard and assigned as Poppy's personal guard along with Rylan Keal. One night, Vikter walked into The Red Pearl where unbeknownst to him, Poppy was disguised. Poppy quickly fled upstairs at the sight of Vikter.
The next day, Vikter snuck Poppy out into the town to a house where a white handkerchief had been hung on the doorknob. Vikter was a part of a group who gave dignity in death to those who had been cursed by the Craven. Poppy had accidentally discovered this when she was fifteen and now helped Vikter. Vikter was bothered that Agnes hard heard of a Chosen woman with gifts that gave people dignity in death. He feared that this would put Poppy at risk.
Vikter is killed during the events of the Rite, asking Poppy to forgive him for failing to protect her. Her rage at Lord Mazeen’s reaction to his death leads her to kill Lord Mazeen.
