A former smuggler and thug, Victor does his best to turn his life around and become a better person, as he sails the Azure Sea on his ship The Second Chance
Victor is a former smuggler and thug, working for the notorious Gellan Primewater in Saltmarsh for most of his life. Lured in by the excitement and the gold promised to local smugglers, he soon fell into the role of one of Primewater's most valued underlings. Victor was a thug and a murderer, and when he wasn't smuggling and stealing he was enforcing his boss' will or collecting his debts.
Then one fateful night his life was saved by someone who had no reason to do so, and the friendship that budded from that moment became the turning point. Victor decided to turn his life around and become a better person, and left Saltmarsh to pursue these goals.

Mentality
Personal history
Victor was born into a family of fishers just outside of Saltmarsh but soon enough grew restless and bored. He joined Gellan Primewater's smuggling operations in his late teens and found himself well suited for the career. It took time and hard work but eventually he was recognised for his ruthlessness and violent nature, and became one of Primewater's closest men. He smuggled precious cargo on his ship The Lurking Mimic, and he was often the one to come for you if you had outstanding debts or if Primewater simply decided your time was up.
This went on until a few years ago when a fateful battle ended with Victor's life being saved by someone on the opposing team's forces. The brush with death and the time spent recovering left him feeling hollow and guilty, and he knew he could no longer stay.
He cut all ties with Saltmarsh and Gellan Primewater and he left with his ship to pursue a new life.
Education
His parents tried to teach him how to read and write, but he never really took to it.
