Vorparadijs was a Vor on Barrayar who served in the Barrayaran Imperial Service. He rose to the rank of General and later was appointed an Imperial Auditor under Emperor Ezar. Miles Vorkosigan described him as "the deadliest senile old Vor bore in Vorbarr Sultana", who only ever discussed his bowel troubles and claimed that standards had "gone to hell" since Ezar's time. General Vorparadijs was very conservative-minded, and still considered Miles as a mutant, and Aral Vorkosigan as "Piotr's Boy".
