	Miles Vorkosigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miles Vorkosigan is the fictional hero of a series of novels and short stories by Lois McMaster Bujold known as the Vorkosigan Saga.
		Miles Vorkosigan is the son of Lord Aral Vorkosigan of the planet Barrayar and his Betan wife Cordelia Naismith.
		These strengths explain why the Vorkosigan series is among the most popular with readers and critics in current science fiction and likely to remain such in future installments.

		The captain introduces himself as Aral Vorkosigan, accepting her word that she won't try to escape, and then takes his two captors with him on the long march across the continent to a base camp he claims to know there.
		Vorkosigan wants to contact some members of his ship, telling Cordelia that it was most likely a mutiny of his political officer that has left him stranded here.
		Vorkosigan, Naismith and her injured lieutenant do their best to survive on their emergency rations, and despite Vorkosigan having been injured by some native wildlife, continue their way, covering miles after miles.

		Aral, in revenge, uses her as the subject for much of his work.
		The other vision was a formal portrait of the Vorkosigans: Aral in full Admiral regalia, Cordelia in something expensive, and Miles between them in his ImpSec uniform (all sitting down).
		There are not very many changes: Aral is now in his Count Vorkosigan uniform, Mark is sitting besides Miles, "Piotr Miles" is not directly behind Miles (but has edged a bit toward Mark), and there is a new ghost (female) sitting on the other side of Cordelia.

	Lois McMaster Bujold Filk Archive - Vordarian - an Opera
		ARAL: (to Vorhalas) This is the day of the Emperor's accession, I was invited, as you were, to come, And to present to him my dearest lady, Is both my duty and pleasure in one.
		VORKOSIGAN: I do believe you, there is no doubt of it, But still the law is as clear as day: "Life for life" - I dare not flout it And still keep order, and hold the state.
		Just as the aria finishes, ARAL comes down from the platform sees that Cordelia is gone: the music continues as Alys and he look at each other for a moment, then he goes back upstairs; but we see him standing there, just looking across at the other side as the lights fade.

	The Councils of Despair
		Aral Vorkosigan sat at ease across a battered wooden table from a huge man dressed in a patched silk robe with a gaudy embroidered starscape down its back.
		Aral Vorkosigan on his hands and knees, ready to be mounted, would be the obscene depths of degradation to most Barrayaran eyes.
		Vorkosigan, sensing that he was being watched, looked up from his personal comconsole in the library and smiled.

		Indeed, Vorkosigan's forces seem generally on top of the situation, forcing Vordarian's hand before he was ready, and quickly reducing the conflict to only a question of how well Vorkosigan can minimize the loss of life on the way to victory.
		Miles Vorkosigan is the son of Count Aral Vorkosigan, war hero and former regent of the planet Barrayar, and now trusted advisor to the young emperor Gregor.
		However, an assassination attempt on Aral while Miles was in the womb resulted in his being born with a near-fatally brittle skeleton which led to a stunted and fragile body.

	An excellent story - and the start of something great \| Shards of Honor \| Lois McMaster Bujold (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Cordelia and her 'captor', who says he is Captain Aral Vorkosigan, have to make a journey 200kms across this unknown and, as it turns out, rather dangerous planet in order to find a cache of stores and a way for Vorkosigan to communicate with his ship.
		Some of the characters in this story appear in the others, particularly Cordelia and Vorkosigan, and the book "Barrayar" is the direct sequel to this and deals further with Cordelia, Aral Vorkosigan and their son Miles (the rest of the books are mostly set 20-30 years after the events in this book).
		Aral Vorkosigan is a deeply conflicted character, and through his own troubles we get an introduction to the conflicts and contradictions of Barrayar, which will shape so much of the life of Miles Vorkosigan.

	Somewhat about the Vorkosigans - opinion of the psychologist
		Aral, the only heir to the Count, should be charged and executed, and a common delusion, that it's like the lovers of his wife has killed each other...
		Therefore, in his twenty-old Aral is deeply convinced that he is a murderer and a coward, because he did not confess in his crime, and his father was forced to undertake dishonorable actions correcting his own mistakes...
		Aral has cousin Ges Vorrutier of the same age, old pal from the times of the Academy, and close enough relative (they are related to each other as Miles and Ivan are, through a common great grandfather.

		By the end of the book, when we knew that Aral's position as Regent was secure, that his hand-picked men occupied all the significant positions of power, and that he and Cordelia were going to raise Gregor, all the danger of Barrayar itself was neutralized.
		He is a perfect foil for Aral, dramatizing the scope of the damage inherent in Barrayaran society, just as Aral exemplifies the heights to which that society can rise.
		Twenty years before, Count Vorhalas lost both his sons because Aral Vorkosigan felt he had to establish a harsh and merciless rule of law at the beginning of his Regency, or see the Imperium devolve into chaos.

	Comments on The Councils of Despair
		Aral is Aral, in a fl mood following Excobar, weighted with too many deaths and a personal horror.
		In "Mirror Dance", Cordelia says to Aral, "I think Simon Ilyan would still turn himself inside out for you after you were dead and buried, love." This is the story of that Simon.
		The relationship between Simon and Aral (...and oh, how much have I always loved Aral) is excellent, and what pleases me particularly is that nothing is taken away from Cordelia in the process Lovely work.

		Discovering deception within deception, treachery within treachery, she was forced into a separate peace with her chief opponent, Lord Aral Vorkosigan -- he who was called The Butcher of Komarr -- and would consequently become an outcast on her own planet and the Lady Vorkosigan on his.
		Sick of combat and betrayal, she was ready to settle down to a quiet life, interrupted only by the occasional ceremonial appearances required of the Lady Vorkosigan.
		But when the Emperor died, Aral became guardian of the infant heir to the imperial throne of Barrayar -- and the target of high-tech assassins in a dynastic civil war that was reminiscent of Earth's Middle Ages, but fought with up-to-the minute biowar technology.

	Amazon.de: Cordelia's Honor (Hugo Winners): English Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Both books are written from Cordelia's point of view which shows extremely well how her feelings towards her erstwhile captor Aral subtly change throughout "Shards of Honor" and how she tries to adapt to life on the warrior planet Barrayar with its backward attitude towards women and anything that's not perfect.
		In "Shards of Honor," her crew was killed, and she was taken prisoner by Aral Vorkosigan, "The Butcher of Komarr." When she was released, and then recaptured in a later conflict, Vorkosigan rescued her and proposed to her, and she married him.
		The heir she bore Vorkosigan was twisted and deformed from an assassination attempt during pregnancy.
