Editing Victor (section)

==History==
===Background===
Before his trigger, Victor may have attended a meeting of the extended [[Herren Clan|Herren family]] when they were attacked. When the resident parahumans were incapacitated following Othala's trigger event, Victor disabled the person attacking the newly activated parahuman.<ref name="R1">Othala's power grants powers. It does so by means of a striker venue (touch) and it's a ''positive'' relationship. She was being supported by a variety of powers when she triggered due to a pointed and immediate, in-her-face physical threat. The clan was attacked, possibly during a moot, a big meeting of multiple branches of the family/organization. Someone came after her, and despite everything, all the power around her, fighting off the other enemies, this guy wasn't stopped. He had a weapon or grabbed her and scared her. Good enough for a second generation trigger. I imagine that after that point, during the usual 'trigger visions' blackout, that someone (an unpowered Victor?) knocked out the assailant. - [https://redd.it/32wcj1 Othala's Trigger event]</ref>

Eventually triggering and working his way up through the ranks, he would marry [[Othala]] after her cousin - his original fiancée - died.<ref name="15.3 e2">"Not quite, huh? It wasn't your dad. You were on your own, a lost soul recruited by a big, ''proud'' family. Proved yourself, and you were told you'd earn a proper place in Kaiser's Empire if you married in, so to speak. Not an arranged marriage in the strictest sense, but the idea was that you'd date one of the lieutenant's girls and marry eventually. Except it wasn't her you were supposed to date. Her sister?"<br><br>"Cousin," Victor spat the word, "I'm getting tired of hearing you fumble your way to answers. It was her cousin."<br><br>"There we go. Something happened to the cousin. So you two got paired together instead. And you two work so well together, it's a kind of kismet. Only there's a little heartbreak on both sides." - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/23 Excerpt] from [[Colony 15.3]]</ref> He was able to use his power to torture E88's targets and other enemies.<ref name=e182>It had been Victor, breaking into a man's home to steal his computer know-how, spending more than twenty four hours doing it, so as to leave the man with nothing. [...] until it came out that the whole thing was an attempt by the startup guy to bail on his own project and claim the compensation and disability insurance, with Victor as his paid hire.<br><br>Victor had done other things. Taking all talent from a black violinist and leaving her with nothing. She'd never got it back. Taking away all restraint and subtlety from a gay twenty-something, in an effort to humiliate them, or get them to do something criminal. The victim's friends had managed to restrain him and alert authorities, but they'd only noticed because he'd already self destructed whole parts of his life, outing himself and losing the funding from his parents that let him attend the University. I remembered the fundraiser from after. According to the gathered info that had been released about the Empire Eighty-Eight villains, he'd once tortured ABB gang members, taking away all pain tolerance and willpower, because those were skills we all learned over the course of our lives. He'd broken them, then taunted Lung with videos of him lording over the once-proud gang members that now acted like animals. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/19 Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.2]]</ref>

===Post-Leviathan===
With the death of [[Kaiser]] at the hands of Leviathan, Victor and Othala fell in with [[Fenrir's Chosen]].

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Had a disagreement with the [[Undersiders]] that led to his capture.<ref>[[Colony 15.2]]</ref><ref>[[Colony 15.3]]</ref> [[Coil]] persuaded Victor to use his hacking abilities in the service of [[Coil's Organization|his organization]] when [[Dragon]] began focusing her efforts to combat them.<ref>I've been made aware that Dragon is also making a bid to claim, seize and lock out <em>digital</em> goods within the city. Victor has agreed to work with my teams and do what he can to minimize the damage. - [[Monarch 16.1]]</ref>

After the [[Coil's Betrayal|death of Coil]] and the escape of [[Echidna]] he and [[Rune]] retreat back to [[Herren Clan|the Clans]].<ref>You were 'fine' when we went back to the Clans and the new leadership treated us like dirt and blamed us for what happened in Empire Eighty-Eight." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/12/interlude-17-z-sundown/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.z]]</ref> [[The Chosen]] that operated at Boston did not include Victor.<ref name="19.x">"The individuals in question are Menja, Stormtiger, Cricket, Rune, Othala, Niflheim and Muspelheim. I'll see you have all available records. Best to enter any confrontation with your eyes wide open." - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/interlude-19-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.x]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
His wife was killed by [[Scion]] while controlled by [[Khepri]], erased alongside a number of capes including [[Trickster]] and [[Ash Beast]].<ref name="30.5">[[Speck 30.5]]</ref>

It is unknown how he handled this.<ref>[[Pitch 6.9]]</ref>

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Two years after Gold Morning he became a member of [[The Shepherds]], a religious team. Still going by Victor he evidently "found God" and a new girlfriend, [[Gospel]].<ref name="II14.2"/>

===Post-[[Assault on the Time Bubbles|Time Bubble Pop]]===
Victor was outed as former neo-nazi alongside [[Rune]] by [[Teacher's Group|Teacher's operation]], and as damage control was moved into in [[Wardens]] Bunker.<ref name="II14.2">I saw Victor- Brockton Bay native, named for his power, not because it was an actual name. The costume had been changed so it didn't have that bold red, black, bit-of-white color scheme, but he'd kept the name, I knew. He was talking with one of Capricorn's old teammates from Reach, and had his girlfriend with. She seemed to be Gospel, an ex-member of one of the smaller religious teams.<br>[...]<br>Two days ago, the pair of them had been outed. Victor hadn't really been hiding it, but he'd kind of been exposed to the public years ago, and had more or less dropped off the map for two years after that, long enough for most people to forget. After they'd been revealed as ex-members of the Neo-Nazi gang back in Brockton Bay, Victor had been open about it. He'd written a letter about his past life, his attempt to use the amnesty to be better, how he had someone close to him that inspired him to be better, he'd found God, he condemned everything about who & what he'd been, blah blah blah. He'd still been a guy who had a history that was violent and stark enough to have records remaining after the end of the world, who'd done what he'd done when he was a full-fledged adult. The letter had been an apology letter without an actual apology or trace of contrition. I was kind of glad in a way that the public hadn't really bought it, but his team was standing by him. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/21 Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
Victor was present for [[the Second Shin Crisis]] alongside the rest of [[the Shepherds]].

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Suffering from the recent break-up and social isolation Victor [[Titan|succumbed to his shard]] when the City was torn. Upon becoming a Titan, he attacked and almost killed his teammates.<ref>[[Sundown 17.z]]</ref> Nemean Titan joined [[Fortuna]]'s network.<ref>Lines connected titans. One between Dauntless and Eve. Then Titan Fortuna with lines of varying strength to the Ophion, Nemean, and Ashen Titans; to Bough, Victor, and Cinereal, respectively. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/19 Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.2]]</ref>

He was the first titan of Fortuna's network to attack the convoys entering into [[The Shardspace]], avoiding combat with the capes and feeding off groups of people. Heroes resorted to tinker and master minions to occupy him.<ref name="II19.1">[[Infrared 19.1]]</ref> After [[The Firmament]] bombing he fell back to Fortuna and accompanied her to [[Earth Shin]] portal. He fought [[Egg]]'s monsters with mixed success.<ref name="II19.4">[[Infrared 19.4]]</ref> He was narrowly stalled by [[Mayday]]'s bombardment,<ref name="II19.5">[[Infrared 19.5]]</ref> and later went into a passive defense alongside other Fortuna's Titans.<ref name="II19.6">[[Infrared 19.6]]</ref>

He was shoved down into the reality cracks by [[The Shepherds]].<ref name="II19.d">[[Infrared 19.d]]</ref>
