Victoria von Lendstein

Victoria von Lendstein is the creator of the dread flesh golem known as Udo the Jigsaw Man, who is now attempting to extort her. Originally from Ingolstadt, Victoria von Lendstein now lives in Lausanne, a large town in Switzerland.

Background

A precocious child, Victoria took after her father, Emile von Lendstein, in seeking the skills to become a physician. After being chased out of the local university because of her gender, she was taught directly by her father. After Emile's death in a fire, Victoria became convinced it was more than an accident, but the local authorities found no evidence. Convinced she and her father were the targets of a conspiracy committed by agents of the university, Victoria was determined to defy them by achieving the impossible: the resurrection of the deceased.

In truth, Victoria had become a victim of the Frankenstein Papers, a cursed medical text that implanted an obsession to create a dread flesh golem inside her mind. However, like Frankenstein centuries before, once she had finished her work, she was overcome with horror and shame and abandoned her dread construct. Following her escape, Victoria went to stay with her uncle and aunt, Albrecht von Thresher and Elise von Thresher. She also eventually fell in love with Gustav von Rudiger. Unfortunately, after Gustav and Victoria became engaged, Udo came looking for her. He demanded her to marry him instead of Gustav, else face the penalty of death for both of her and her lover. For her part, Victoria is desperate and thinks her only option is to arrange Udo's death or kill him herself.
