| arrival = ''Unknown''
He is an Hour of manipulation, scheming, plotting, and lying. He loves order and organisation, constantly micromanaging his Long and Names. He loves knowledge, both for its own sake and for the power it brings. Because of this, it is a spy and voyeur, always seeking to discover secrets that would help spread its influence.
==Servants==
The Vizier's servants are many, though only a few are significant. He surrounds himself with helpers, assistants, scribes, administrators, and miscellaneous minions. Some are mortal, some are Long, a few are Names. Despite their internal rivalries, their affairs and their squabbling, they operate like oiled clockwork. The Vizier does not tolerate inefficiency.
===Names===
====The Revolutionary====
''"Oh my master! Shall we build a new order from the ashes of the old? Shall we melt down their chains, and forge new ones for ourselves?"''
Once a spy who betrayed their homeland and rose to lead the organisation they secretly fought against. They aided the revolution from within, and built a new order to replace that which they tore down. Winter to call them. Edge to match their struggle with your own. They are Winter, for they bring the end; and Forge, for an end is merely a new beginning. The Revolutionary sometimes appears as a man, sometimes as a woman, but always in singed business clothing appropriate to the time and place they have been summoned to.
==Relationships==
* [[The Architeuthian]]:
* [[The Anaconda]]: The Vizier has a fraught relationship with the Anaconda. Both former Names of the Great Serpent, the Anaconda never trusted the Vizier, for his ascension came from betrayal, and the Anaconda was a loyal Name. Nevertheless, the Vizier has great respect for the Anaconda's desire for order and stability, and counts himself as one of the Anaconda's allies.
* [[Snake Tail with Appendages]]: Chaos. Disorder. Rebellion and revolution. The Snake Tail is everything the Vizier loathes. Still, its power is to be respected, even if nothing else about it is.* [[The Engine of Cycles]]:What is this. Why is this abomination allowed to continue. It is an insult, no matter how impressive it is.
* [[The Peacock]]: In the Peacock, the Vizier sees a chance to regain his old power. He sees a dupe and a tool, and waits for the Peacock's schemes to blow up in its face, giving the Vizier a chance to aid with the recovery, and so ingratiate himself with whoever then rules the Mansus.
* [[Old Tarnished]]:A mortal upstart. * [[The Spark]]:.* [[The Cuckoo]]:
* [[The Silver Owl]]:
* [[The Watcher in the Window]]:
* [[The Snow-Stained]]:
* [[The Fanged Bramble]]:
* [[The Aged Bones]]: The Aged Bones! She-Who-Remembers! If the Vizier can be said to be fond of a person, he is fond of her. They used to share a History, and the Vizier retains some sentimentality for the past. A noble ruler, a wise counsellor, perhaps even a friend.
* [[The Mendicant Without]]:
* [[The Anvil]]:
