everybody wants to rule the world

Ported in around 2013, Victor had enough time to acclimatise to the City before the crackdown began and before then established himself as a highly respected name in the field of neuroscience due to his ExtraOrdinary/EO nerve controlling abilities he brought to the City from his home world.

While not terribly warm or nice, Victor was known for his meta ability to control and read nerves as well as control pain. Within the field of neurology, Victor was something of a controversial figure with some claiming that Victor’s research could not provide objective analysis due to his methodology behind too linked to his abilities, thus making his studies impossible to replicate. However the unique insight Victor could provide on nerve-related conditions and abnormalities was nevertheless impossible to fully jettison. It was also well-known that Dr. Vale was just generally a bit of a standoffish asshole. Victor also provided consults on specific cases, but only if they provided additional knowledge, furthered his research, or brought particular brands of prestige.

During this time, Victor was also desperately seeking a cure of his own “illness” in which he dies for short periods of time at increasing intervals. He had not yet succeeded.

When the crackdown began, Victor vehemently resisted registration and after increasing pressure from government agents was forced to use his abilities in a more offensive manner, creating extreme pain to anyone who threatened him with incarceration.

Victor was eventually subdued (this is open to anyone who wants the dubious honour and Victor’s undying vengeance) in 2015 and imprisoned for three years. A chip was implanted in him to contain and control his powers, which in turn stunted his cycle dying. During this time, Victor was also subjected to a range of tests and experiments in an attempt to find ways to replicate his nerve-control abilities.

Being a highly manipulative person even before becoming an EO in his own world, Victor took his time soaking up information and forming a carefully curated network and set the pieces in motion for a mass meta breakout at his facility.

Victor now operates openly as a enemy to the government and government-loyal non-metas, and does not shy away from grand acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the government. How extreme his hatred of non-metas is concerned sometimes fluctuates, but as Victor strongly adheres to the belief that his ends justify the means, sometimes civilians get caught in his war against the government.

Victor has established himself as an incredibly well-connected figure in the underworld with a reputation for showing no remorse for people who cross him. While he is open to alliances as long as they benefit him, Victor does not consider himself part of the resistance, and he has been known to take out rebels who get in the way of his goal of taking out the government and non-metas. He also doesn’t consider himself leader of a movement in any direct way, but when you’re being an extra af terrorist you can’t help but pick up a few fans along the way; Victor prefers to keep his inner circle very tight though.

He is also getting pretty desperate for a cure for his periodic deaths and is actively and aggressively on the look out for anything that might help stop the process and he doesn’t care if that comes from government studies, metahuman abilities, anything.
