Inston-Vee Vinder
Serving Commander Inston-Vee Vinder of Kasto-Winfer-Foxfell was the observation officer manning Observation Outpost Rose when the Flux arrived and caused the entire galaxy to be erased.
Biography
Pilot training
Vinder trained to be a pilot with the Grand Serpent's space fleet. During the later stages of his training, Vinder flew into a blaze in his training craft, risking his own life, to save the lives of three of his colleagues. His craft received fatal damage. Vinder would later say he didn't believe he was lucky, but "made a judgment call" which came off. Despite the incident, he held no record of post-traumatic psycho disturbance, though took all offers of counselling. Vinder received an exceptional honours award and a commendation for his brave actions, and qualified highest in all streams.
He accepted a posting with the highest level of security clearance, permanently at the side of the Grand Serpent. (TV: Once, Upon Time)
Outpost Rose
Before the Flux, Vinder made regular reports on this section of the universe. He consistently noted that there had been no change from previous reports he'd made.
However, on rotation #21714, after signing off on his standard report, Vinder noticed an anomoly in the Thoribus Trifecta, and queried the onboard system for details.
When Thoribus Minor and several other planetary bodies were destroyed by the Flux as it passed through them, Vinder was advised by the computer system to attempt evacuation before the outpost was "compromised". He made his final report, detailing events as they unfolded, before abandoning his post. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
Temple of Atropos
Finding himself in the Temple of Atropos, Vinder encountered a Priest Triangle demanding to know if he could repair. Playing along he followed it to the sanctum of the Mouri where he encountered Yasmin Khan, who was similarly confused by the situation. Swarm, Azure and Passenger arrived and forced them to cooperate, proving able to evade Vinder's gunshots. Swarm killed two Mouri in addition to the aleady broken two and put Vinder and Yaz in their places, revealing what he'd done to the Doctor and Dan Lewis when they arrived looking for Yaz. Swarm prepared to expose them to the full force of time, wondering how long they'd last. (TV: War of the Sontarans)
Personality
Vinder had contempt for the recipients of his reports, telling them to "go to hell" each time he concluded one of them. Nonetheless, he marvelled at the beauty of the universe before him, and saw value in this chance he had to behold it. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
