Victoria is a deceased human child found the Szarr Palace guest room during Act Three. She has the unusual condition Sapping Curse.

History

Victoria was the "pureblooded" daughter of one of Cazador's Vampire Spawn, Leon Onufrio, who brought Victoria to the palace on Cazador's insistence. By consistently staying his 'favoured spawn', Leon and Victoria were able to stay in the favoured spawn bedchambers together, where they were apart from the rest of the vampires.

While at the palace, Leon became fearful for Victoria's life as other spawn showed interest in her. As a sorcerer, he imbued her with a counter-curse in the event of an attack against her person, making her a "necrotic booby-trap".

Leon was finalising a deal with someone identified as Figaro, most likely Figaro Pennygood, to procure a disguise for Victoria's escape. However, she was found by the spawn Dalyria, who brought her back to the palace. Dalyria was searching for a cure to vampirism and thought that Victoria's young blood could help. She bit into Victoria, killing her and triggering her necrotic curse.

Involvement

Victoria is found in the Szarr Palace guest room, which Astarion will explain is where 'guests' were kept until Cazador took them. He will note that there had been no prior deaths in the room, and that something "strange happened to that girl".

Her body and curse behave as an obstacle to obtaining the Kozakuran Dictionary found in the guest room. The Sapping Curse can be removed with Remove Curse, or an Elixir of Necrotic Resistance can be used to move past her. If neither are available, as Victoria is a child and weighs very little, she can be (somewhat morosely) tossed across the room, away from the rest of the objects within it. If done from turn-based mode; this will only incur a single tick of damage.

The door to the guest room will have the condition Sinister Seal, which will apply one round of sapping curse when opened normally.

Notes

• Victoria's body can be picked up and used as an area of effect necrotic weapon
• Like other corpses, Victoria can be sent to camp after placing her inside another container. However, while in the camp chest she will continue to have her necrotic aura, and so may harm nearby characters, or kill scratch if he walks nearby.
• It was possible to use Speak with Dead on Victoria's until Patch #5. Some of her dialogue potentially contradicted in-game texts, such as saying she was an orphan.
