Portrayed by [[]]
Vigi Benoffski is a noted mathemetician who died in a fire at the Vik Institute, a Hanso Foundation run facility. He was allegedly a visitor at the Institute, but was suspiciously in the basement at 3:00 am.
Rachel Blake discovered that Benoffski had been working with a number of mathematicians and autistic savants in the Institute basement to solve the Valenzetti equation, a mysterious mathematical formula that predicts mankind's extinction.
There is some speculation that Benoffski's family were silenced after the accident, as Mittelwerk would later comment that they would not go public, "I've seen to that."

Authorities released only the names of three of the injured: Janos Backh (38), Orhan Hikmet Ran (43), and Vikram Sahani (28). Their families refused comment The coastal community was awakened in the early morning hours by sirens, as rescue and fire units rushed to contain the blaze that erupted on a basement level of The Vik Institute. Hospital Director Armand Zander, "We are most thankful more were not put in harm's way. What happened to Mr. Benoffski is a horrible tragedy." While the fire has been ruled accidental, uncertainty still lingers. It is not yet known whether the injured included any hospital patients. And, while Zander asserted that Benoffski "must have been visiting," he refused to comment how a visitor could have obtained access to a basement level well past visiting hours. | ” |

TM: I admit the fire sets us back, but all we’ve really lost is time. Woman: And Vigi Benoffski. If his family goes public… TM: They won’t, I’ve seen to that. Woman: We’re already funnelling millions into your mental programmes without knowing if this equations even… TM: You say it like its an insult, “mental programs”. The Mental Health Appeal is the centre-piece of all our future plans. | ” |
