Vikram Kapoor

About

Beneath his meticulously organized shelves, Vikram harbors a rebellious passion for rare banned books, secretly collecting volumes deemed dangerous by censors. While his colleagues see a mild-mannered librarian, he dreams of smuggling literary contraband and preserving forbidden knowledge that powerful institutions would prefer forgotten.

Backstory

Three nights after the Library of Eldoria's head archivist vanished without explanation, Vikram discovered why—the man had been systematically stealing manuscripts that weren't just rare, but alive, their words literally reshaping reality when read aloud in the ancient tongue Vikram's grandmother had secretly taught him through lullabies. The cryptic letter he'd found years ago in her attic desk wasn't about a buried library at all, but a warning about books that could rewrite the world, and now those dangerous tomes were scattered across the black market while their guardian lay dead in the restricted vault. Vikram's scholarly pursuit of literary archaeology at Arcane University had unknowingly prepared him to be the next keeper of these reality-bending texts, a role his grandmother Elara had been grooming him for since childhood when she'd run the local library as a front for training him. Now he hums her ancient melodies not from nostalgia, but because they're protective incantation
