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!
Victor was released on August 29, 2025 as the final hero of the Six New Heroes update.

Background
See Victor/Lore for more story content.
“A lot of people spend their whole lives wondering who they really are. For Victor, this existential question is made more complicated as he woke up on a mortuary table with no knowledge of his creator, why he was made, and whom he is made of.
Now searching the five boroughs for answers, Victor is hoping to find someone who can identify any part of him.
Lore
Victor is made out of dead body parts.[2] Though he has been searching for a while, he has yet to find the origins of any of his body parts.[3] Because he doesn't know where pieces of his body come from, he hasn't replaced or discarded any limbs.[4] It's implied that Victor's physical condition is deteriorating, and his left arm keeps falling off.[5][4]
Victor's in constant chronic pain, with the only relief being from The Cube.[6]
Victor's willing to do anything for answers on his origins.[7]
Character interactions
- Victor is often seen by the other heroes as sad or pitiable.[8]
- Victor is considered attractive.
Infernus calls him "a pretty good looking corpse",[9] and 
Silver refers to him as the "prettiest corpse on Manhattan".[10] 
Paige tells Victor never to put on a shirt,[11] and 
Mina offers to properly sew his body together if he'll work as a clothing model at one of her shows.[12]
- Victor often asks other characters for any leads on his origins. He asks
Mo & Krill if he can search the New York sewers to see if any body parts down there match his own.[14] He also asks 
Dynamo where Columbia College gets their cadavers for their medical program.[15] Victor asks 
Abrams if any of his past cases included "a mad genius who lost one of his creations".[16] - Victor asks Abrams for help with uncovering his past.[17]
- Victor wishes
Pocket luck with their problems.[18] - Victor and
Kelvin promised each other that they'd stick together, as they're both walking corpses.[19][20] 
Lady Geist suggests that Victor should see her grandson, Johann Jr., to get him fixed.[5]
- Lady Geist calls Johann her son. It's unclear if this is a mistake or a lie by Lady Geist to hide her age.
- Mina offers to stitch up Victor's wounds if he stars in one of her fashion shows.[21]
- Infernus and Kelvin tell Victor to focus on his future instead of his past.[22][23]
Ivy and Paige have offered to help Victor with his problems.[24][25]
Bebop, 
Grey Talon, Kelvin, Krill, 
Mirage and 
Vindicta wish Victor luck in uncovering his past.[8]
Seven believes Victor doesn't know a thing about "real" suffering.[26]
Yamato is offended by Victor's existence.[27][28]- Bebop has invited Victor to see Ms. Shelly.[29]
The Doorman has invited Victor to the Baroness Hotel.[30]

Trivia
- Victor's name is a reference to 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." [31]
- Victor was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025, originally named Frank.[32] 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 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.
