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

~~'''Victor''' is~~ a ~~[[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. A man 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.

After waking up on 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 Heroes]] update.

* Aura of Suffering self damage is non-lethal (but can still trigger {{AbilityIcon|Shocking Reanimation}}).

* 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).

* If Victor has {{ItemIcon|Cheat Death}} or a [[Rejuvenator]] credit, their effects are only triggered if Shocking Reanimation is on cooldown.

== Trivia ==

* Victor is ~~named after the literary character~~ [[wikipedia:Victor_Frankenstein|Victor Frankenstein]], creator of Frankenstein's monster.

* 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 was one of the heroes in a private build who was ~~accidently~~ leaked on stream in May 2025.<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 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's model was leaked when a game tester from ~~the~~ private build accidentally posted a bug report about Victor to ''Deadlock's'' public forums.

* 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]].

** He shares this status with {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}.

* Victor has [[wikipedia:Heterochromia_iridum|heterochromia]] because his eyes belonged to different people. His left eye is brown and his right eye is blue. He also has [[wikipedia:Anisocoria|anisocoria]], as his left eye has a dilated pupil.

* The barbed wire wrapped around Victor's left arm will glow with electricity when Pain Battery is ready to be used.

* Victor's zipline animation, in which he is dragged by his shoulders while hanging motionless, was likely inspired by a viral video of a man hanging on a zipline in a similar pose. This was suggested on Reddit before Victor was released in the [[Six New Heroes]] update, and at the time he used {{HeroIcon|Lash}}'s zipline animation.<ref>2025-08-24 - epowx on Reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame - [https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame/comments/1mywsxz/they_should_definitely_add_this_animation_to_new/ They should definitely add this animation to new undead character]</ref>

* Victor's weapon, an electric staple gun, is branded "GIGAWATT" on its sides, likely as a nod to [[wikipedia:DeWalt|DeWalt Industrial Tool Company]]. This name is also shared with {{HeroIcon|Seven}}'s previous incarnation in [[Neon Prime]].
