Background: Viktor was born in the Undercity, where he was very lonely. Viktor’s disability left him feeling left out, isolated from other children. His mobility issues didn’t allow him to walk or play with other children; which is when he started using a cane. The city’s bad conditions contributed to the damage of his disabled leg. In his teenage years; he was found and taken in by Professor Heimerdinger, who took Viktor in as his assistant. Viktor was incredibly intelligent and fostered a talent for engineering, which was present even in his childhood. When Heimerdinger took Viktor in, he allowed Viktor to study in the University of Piltover. After that, Viktor carries his assistance alongside Heimerdinger as Dean of the Academy. While investigating, Viktor meets a fellow scientist named Jayce Talis, whose research was exposed by a robbery. Intrigued by the man’s behavior, Viktor steals his notebook from Heimerdinger’s office and wants to discuss the contents with Jayce. After talking Jayce down from a suicide attempt, the men formed an alliance, believing that if they worked together, they could change the world with the help of an invention called Hextech, which harnesses magical energy through scientific means, allowing the creation of gadgets and tools by combining crystals and runes to enhance. It is also used as a barrier. When the technology began to become popular, Jayce got wrapped up in politics, while Viktor stayed in the lab. After Heimerdinger retired, Viktor and Jayce continued to occasionally work on the Hextech. Viktor’s body, due to terminal illness, gives out. Jayce rushes Viktor to a hospital, desperate to save him. Jayce locks the Hextech with Viktor’s body, fusing his body into an arcane-altered form. Viktor visits Zaun and notices all of its suffering citizens. While there, he begins to heal the people, and steadily builds a commune. After Sky fades away, he began to turn into the Machine Herald. His body ultimately elongated and transforms, growing a third arm on his back with three claws, and his face splits in half with a mask in the middle. Viktor, with the Noxian army, arrives in Piltover to fight. He meets Jayce in the heart of the Hexgates, where the two engross in a battle. Jayce was briefly put under mind control by Viktor before breaking out of it. He admitted to Viktor that all he wanted was his partner back. The two of them hug. In a change of heart, Viktor tells Jayce to leave, but Jayce refuses, stating that they should destroy the ruin together. Embracing one another, the two dissipate.
