'''Victor''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]'' who walks the line between life and death. Victor has learned to harness pain into power, 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!

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.

=== Lore ===
Victor is made out of dead body parts.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Ivy|number=2|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=I'm in chronic pain, and my body's stitched together from corpses I can't Identify.}}</ref> Though he has been searching for a while, he has yet to find the origins of any of his body parts.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Infernus|number=3|hero_quote1=Infernus|quote1=You figure out where any of you came from yet?|hero_quote2=Victor|quote2=No.}}</ref> Because he doesn't know where pieces of his body come from, he hasn't replaced or discarded any limbs.<ref name=":1">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Bebop|number=2|hero_quote1=Bebop|quote1=I'm not trying to be rude but... How much of you is... Original you? Well not original per se, but-|hero_quote2=Victor|quote2=I see where you're going. No. I haven't had to swap out parts yet. Probably should. My left arm keeps popping off. But it doesn't feel right to discard it when I don't even know who they were.}}</ref> It's implied that Victor's physical condition is deteriorating, and his left arm keeps falling off.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":1" />

Victor's willing to do anything for answers on his origins.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Aura of Suffering|voice line]] (Upgrade Aura of Suffering): ''"There's no price I'm not willing to pay for answers."''</ref>

== 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.
