'''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!
 
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''' 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. 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... Think 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.

* 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).

== 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'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.<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 leaked when a game tester from the private build accidentally posted a bug report about Victor to ''Deadlock's'' public forums.

* "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]] which is likely due to the fact that he is a patchwork of different body parts and they're two different people's eyes.
** 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]].
