Victor was the creation of a mad scientist by the same name. However, Professor Victor Von Gerdenheim died shortly after giving life to Victor. Believing that if he proves that he is the strongest in the world, the Professor would accept him, Victor leaves the castle. After Victor had fought many Darkstalkers, he came back to the castle hoping the Professor would accept him, but the dead Professor did not wake up. Instead, the prototype Emily, who was also Victor's "sister", welcomed him back. | {{floatingtoc|left|limit=2}} | ||

The two lived happily for many years until one night, Emily malfunctioned. Victor believed that if he collected many souls, he could revive Emily. He entered the Majigen to collect souls with this intent. In the end, he sacrificed himself by using all his powers to revive Emily. | The two lived happily for many years until one night, Emily malfunctioned.

For most of his later days in life, he spent his time experimenting on Victor. It was very difficult to read his research material when he was insane and many mysterious signs were used in his writings. This is the only legacy of the Professor who researched the creation of life that lies "Beyond the darkness". | For most of his later days in life, he spent his time experimenting on Victor.

When hit by Anakaris' Pharaoh's Curse, he becomes a small robotic doll. It's difficult to see, but the tiny Victor is holding a little rag doll which represents Emily. When attacked by Demitri's Midnight Bliss, he becomes a rather muscular Frankenstein girl. Both Victor and his father are named after Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist of the 1818 novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Victor's body (and clothing) is apparently amorphous, as several of his body parts stretch, grow, or wobble unnaturally as he fights. Normally these are just whatever appendage he is using at the time cartoonishly increasing in size to accent his attack (such as his fist doubling in size when he punches). When Strong/Fierce Punch or Forward/Roundhouse Kick are held, his normal attacks become electricity-based and do block damage. Comically, Victor will also use his rear end to attack for his close standing kicks, and that will also grow to cartoonish proportions when he strikes with it as well. For example: one of his super arts makes him squeeze his opponent between his butt-cheeks | When hit by Anakaris' Pharaoh's Curse, he becomes a small robotic doll.

Before the Prof. went into his real experiment, he did many tests on human bodies. Emily was made as a prototype that couldn't generate electricity by itself and could only be activated once. He failed many times over and over until he finally succeeded in animating Emily. But she was only a doll that moved by flowing electricity into her constantly. Her limbs could move temporarily and would only last for about 30 seconds. But this was still one step closer to his goal of creating new life. He began to design Victor who could generate electricity by itself and increased the size of the body to do this. It is still unknown why Emily can move like Victor after the experiment. Most likely, when Victor was created, a part of the large amount of electricity used to animate Victor flowed into Emily as well. She was able to store a vast amount of electricity in her due to an accident. | Before the Prof. went into his real experiment, he did many tests on human bodies.
