Victor Van Art
Victor is a tall man, about 185cm, he has black hair with falling bangs on his face, maroon eyes. He's a vampire. He has a low, velvety voice. He looks like Bill Skarsgard.
Victor was born around 1845-1847 in Belgium in the family of aristocrats Francois and Jacqueline Van Art. Victor's father was invited to China for work, where the couple met the vampire Noel Miller. Their friendship did not last long. Victor's parents died soon after the typhus epidemic. Victor was a late child and, left without the care of relatives, Victor found himself under the care of Noel, who decided to adopt a young orphan. The boy was about eight years old.
According to Noel, Victor grew up a very smart child and soon realized that Noel was not a human being. When he reached a possible age for conversion, he demanded that his foster father convert him. This happened when Victor was about 18-22 years old. He loved the life of a vampire and enjoyed it to the fullest. Gradually, the influence of young Victor strengthened in vampire circles, which was not to the liking of the then Prince of the Netherlands. Victor had a lover named Allegra, with whom he wanted to tie the knot. Allegra was human, and Victor wanted to convert her. It was supposed to be a wedding gift, but the celebration never took place: the vampire went out to meet the late bride, but the car with her exploded. The target of the assassination was supposed to be Van Art himself, but his beloved died.
The Prince of the Netherlands turned out to be guilty of the assassination attempt. He wanted to show that Victor was an upstart and unworthy of a duel. According to the time frame, this happened at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries. After that, Victor gained strength for a long time. Dante Guerra told Mia that the second time he saw Victor, he was not the same as he was before. A vampire needed blood to accumulate power. Dante suggested that Victor had been in the war and more than one, where, among other things, he used the blood of people who were near death.
Subsequently, Victor took revenge and killed the prince. He was supposed to take his place, because other vampires were betting on him, but he lost to his colleague Alain Ravel. Some influential vampires, including Sophia von Goelz, were not happy with the circumstances and hoped that Victor would come out of voluntary isolation and take over the management of the Netherlands.
Victor first appears at a vampire masquerade. And immediately appears as a charismatic and elegant young vampire. As Noel later explained, after moving to the States, Victor was very withdrawn and almost never left the house. And deciding that this was a good opportunity to distract his son, he asked him to go to a party. At the first meeting at the masquerade, Victor hides under a gray mask and stands up for Mia when she is attacked by a vampire in a red mask.
Victor is cold-blooded and serious. Having lived for more than a hundred years, he firmly knows his principles both in life and in relationships and does not allow anyone to violate them. In a relationship, he is jealous and ready to "twist" his neck for the sake of his beloved. Victor, like his family, prefers not to drink human blood. Throughout the story, we see how all vampires, including the ancient Asha, treat Victor very respectfully. Xander, Noel, Dante, Agatha, and Ashi say that Victor is a very strong vampire. Of the gifts, he most likely has the Gift of the Moon more developed than Blood, since he rarely participated in hand-to-hand fights, mainly using the Gift of the Moon. Rumor has it that because of such a developed Gift, no one has been able to break his will throughout history.
From a conversation with Dante, you can learn that Victor is quite rich due to the fact that he holds a controlling stake in an Asian architectural monument repair company.
Victor becomes the new Prince, tears off the New Life club.
