'''Victor''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'' who walks the line between life and death. Victor has learned to harness pain, shocking himself with Jumpstart to get his adrenaline rushing and his faulty heart pumping. He welcomes incoming damage with open (albeit mismatched) arms, channeling it into his Pain Battery and granting enemies a taste of the pain he endures. Get too close and risk getting caught in his Aura of Suffering, but hey, at least you'll be suffering together. And just when you think you've taken him down, he'll piece himself back together and live again!

After waking up in a mortuary table with no memories, Victor wants nothing more than to find out who made him and from whom he is made of.

Victor was released on [[Update:August 29, 2025|August 29, 2025]] as the final hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six New Heroes]] update.

* It takes damage equal to 40% of Victor's Max HP to gain a charge. [[Ability Cooldown|Cooldown Reduction]] (e.g. {{ItemIcon|Superior Cooldown}}) reduces the required amount to <code>40% × (1 − CDR%)</code> of Max HP, with 20% CDR, you only need to lose 32% Max HP.

* Jumpstart self damage is considered [[Pure Damage]], and thus cannot be reduced by Spirit Resistance.

{{AbilitySection

| notes       =
* [[Status Effects#Purge|Purges]] all debuffs when triggered. Victor is [[Status Effects#Invincible|invincible]] and unable to move or act during channel.
* If {{AbilityIcon|Aura of Suffering}} is active when Shocking Reanimation is triggered, it will turn itself off during the channel, then automatically reactivate itself when Victor revives. This resets Aura's damage ramp-up.
* Shocking Reanimation is not affected by [[Silence]].
* Attacks that trigger Shocking Reanimation will not register any deaths/kills/assists in the HUD. They <i>will,</i> however, trigger any and all "on hero kill" and "on assist" effects/[[stack]]s for the would-be killer and/or assistant(s).
* The "non-lethal" damage-over-time dealt by {{AbilityIcon|Affliction}} will nevertheless trigger Shocking Reanimation if it brings Victor down to 1 health. It is unclear whether or not this interaction is intentional.

== Trivia ==
* Victor's name is a reference to [[wikipedia:Victor_Frankenstein|Victor Frankenstein]]; the creator of Frankenstein's monster in Mary Shelly's 1818 novel ''Frankenstein''.
* Victor's appearance and attractiveness are likely also inspired by Frankenstein's monster's description in the original novel, quote: ''"I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His skin scarcely covered his work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing."'' <ref> Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley, 1818</ref>
* Victor was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025, originally named '''Frank'''.<ref>2025-05-01 - atahutahatena on Reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumors - [https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1kclj5p/streamer_accidentally_leaks_hero_roster_of_a_more/ Streamer accidentally leaks hero roster of a more "secret" private Deadlock pre-alpha playtest build]</ref> Victor's model was also leaked when a game tester from Deadlock's private build accidentally posted a bug report about Victor to ''Deadlock's'' public forums in July 2025.
* "Brooding in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Victor in the [[Hideout]].
* Victor has [[wikipedia:Heterochromia_iridum|heterochromia]]. This is likely due to the fact that he is a patchwork of different body parts and they're two different people's eyes.
* The barbed wire wrapped around Victor's left arm will glow with electricity when Pain Battery is ready to be used.
