Victivius is Doc.

Go back and read. When Doc died, he traveled to the Malus Memoriae, a pocket dimension created by the Glyph. When he was there, the only way he could leave was by imagining what was most preciius to him, and destroy it. When he left the Memoriae, a part of his memory was left behind, a planar echo of his life.

But when he returned to the world,  he was forced to live his life over again in the same era, although he did not know it. Only when he found the Glyph in each lifetime did he regain his past memories. But over time his accumulated memories took shape in the Memoriae, forming the Crucible, and eventually, Victivius. Both were a twisted echo of his bitterness. And each time he returned to the Crucible, they both learned a little more of the Glyphs purpose, because his planar echoes fed it, bringing it closer to its truth. They were working together. All that changed when,  in the lifetime in which Doc was to learn of the Glyphs truth, Alcamarie intervened, placing Regina close enough to the Gly p h that she would be kept alive and Doc would fall in love with her. The rest you know.

So yes, she manipulated the events of the Glyph so she could get at Aethuriel, and then you.
