Your Character
Viktor is the producer of Double Agent, the movie Your Character acts in. He is friendly to Your Character when they first meet. He later assaults her in Book 2, Chapter 6, by attempting to solicit sex from her. After the assault, he is angry with Your Character for refusing him. He cuts down production budget, which leads to Matt's accident, and makes sure you fly on a different plane to Russia than your co-stars and stay in a run-down hotel. In Book 2, Chapter 9, he fires you after you leak details of Matt's accident to the press. He then threatens to make your life worse. Shortly after your return to L.A., you find out he booked the whole street where your new home is located for one of his movies. Filming is supposed to take several days without pause and everyone who enters or leaves the zone will be charged with trespassing. As soon as you are informed, he sends you a message, knowing where you are and making sure you know that he will learn about everything that happens in the street.

Apricott Persimmon
Apricott is Viktor's niece. She has a role in Double Agent despite being an inexperienced actress due to Viktor's demands that she be in the movie.

John Castle
Chazz reveals in Book 2, Chapter 10, that John Castle forced him to drop you as a client, following Viktor's will. It is revealed that Viktor knows Castle is embezzling money from his clients: if Castle had tried to reject his wish, Viktor would have made Castle's crime public.
