Personality[]
Victor is one of the most arrogant, self serving characters in the story. He seems to care little for anyone else, and is easily prone to jealousy.
Despite having been revealed to be the final shell, Victor still sees itself as Joe.
Relationships[]
Although Victor has no true relationships he does seem to feel for some people.
Rosa[]
Victor seems to have had some sort of feelings for Rosa, though whether this was love or just lust is unknown.
Abilities[]
Victor is one of the most powerful characters in The Pocalypse. While it is unclear how much of the abilities he has utilized are his and how much are based off of his host, he's been shown to have great mental ability (easily forcing Samuel away through Mind Crafting) as well as having super strength and a certain amount of immunity to damage.
Being the eleventh and final shell he can be assumed to have a whole range of other abilities. Prior to finding him alive, Samuel believed that Victor would be too strong even for him to control.
Following Samuel's attack on Joe, he was forced to transfer his invulnerability and restorative abilities to Joe, showing that he has full control over his powers.
