Of all the ones who were asked by Morden what they wanted, Vir was the only one who truly got what he wanted. Londo, for example, got what he asked for, but it really wasn't really what he wanted.
Thing is, that was a private conversation between Vir and Morden, with Londo nowhere around, so how did Londo know to do that?
I like to think that Morden begged one last favor before he was executed, and said that it wasn't for him, but for Vir. He then told Londo what to do with his head.
I don't think Londo knew EXACTLY what Vir wanted,only that he had a deep and abiding hatred of Morden. And so Londo's vicious imagination did the rest.
If you noticed, anyone that answered the "shadow question" from mister morden got what they wanted in one manner or another, only Vir got a directly "positive" outcome.
A great scene from the season 4 episode "Into the Fire". Vir Cotto gets his wish, Morden's head on a pike. That is funny when Vir waves at Morden's head,,,lol. Morden's head on the pike is now the warning to the next 10 generations that some favors come with too high a price,,,lol.
If you think he has a dark side here, then read the Centauri Prime trilogy. It was written by Peter David, an quthor who has written many Sci-Fi books. It starts as Londo is taken over by the keeper. The trilogy goes into depth about betrayal, great pain and sorrow, death, unspeakable acts of horror, and the redemption of a seemingly lost soul. I would highly recommend this trilogy.
Never EVER Piss off Londo!

Everyone who answered the Shadow question got what they wanted. Whether they still wanted it or not.

Vir has this satisfied littlesmile on his face as he waves. Priceless !!!
A lesser man might see a decapitated head on a pike & toss his cookies. Not Vir.

I think Vir is the only one who liked his gift when he was asked the Shadow question: "What do you want?" Londo and G'Kar weren't all that happy.

Londo had his eyes and ears everywhere.
That's how he knew.
Vir got what he deserved...and so did Morden!

@Wizardjym Possible but I think it is just luck, since that kind of punishment was typical of the Centari

I don't know about that. Morden seemed quite pissed when Londo nuked the shadows, and even he had sorta a little tension with Vir.
Indeed, some favors do come at too high of price.
