He believes in maintaining order in the Circle, but has to willfully the ignore the bloody and inhumane acts that his 'family' do. One method of dealing with this has been shirking responsibility and sticking his nose in books, but now with a new 'child' to take care of, he must deal with more than he's been used to. Vitus is a good friend to all, particularly Helen, Thierry and Demetri. He also one of the few who associate with non-Circle vampires. He is straight.
