Jovial, bigger-than-life and socially nimble, Vacek is the last in a line of Moravian nobles, an aristocracy that had been abolished in 1918. With historical ties to the Germans, he fled the East after the dawning of cold war in fear for his life, penniless. Using his contacts and knowledge of his homeland, he began a relationship with MI6 and eventually earned enough to emigrate to New Dresden. He remains quite destitute, but gladly accepts the hospitality of the Czech immigrants of the city.
