# Vilor — Pirates of Venus character guide

> Vilor in Pirates of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0008-ix-soldiers-of-liberty

## Snapshot

A Thorist officer whose smooth offer to guard the hostage Moosko in his own cabin masks a schemer already calculating how to turn Carson's mercy against him.

## Who they are

Vilor moves through the Sofal's cramped quarters as a man whose loyalties are never quite what they seem, quick to volunteer when a task puts him close to power or information. When Carson needs somewhere to hold the captive ongyan Moosko, Vilor immediately proposes sharing his own small cabin and taking responsibility for the prisoner — a generosity that reads as service and smells like opportunity. His presence keeps the question of Thorist infiltration alive aboard a ship crewed largely by men who only recently threw off their masters.
