Editing Victor (section)

===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>
