- Aral Vorkosigan's First Wife (the AO3 canonical for her) Annoyingly, the canon does not ever give the lady a name. We know that she was a Vor from the Vorruyter family. The article on Aral Vorkosigan sums up what we know of her from the first book, Shards of Honor (also found as part of the omnibus Cordelia's Honor, which is how it's in print today):
When he was twenty, he was married to a woman two years younger of the Vorrutyer family. The marriage was arranged by his father, and the bride was the sister of his friend and fellow lieutenant Ges Vorrutyer. Vorkosigan was often away from home, and his wife took two lovers. When informed about her lovers by his friend Ges, Vorkosigan challenged both of them to duels to avenge his honor.[6]
Vorkosigan killed them both, but it was assumed that they had killed each other and he escaped penalty. Shortly afterward his wife apparently committed suicide with a plasma arc, though it was rumored at the time that he had killed her for infidelity.
