Victor Vanbrooke (Eden Rising)

"The fact that you had to use your utterly grotesque method of killing a guy to show off your toughness just proves my point, love. I mean --- talk about overkill. Slamming a nail into someone’s eye just seems like a very psychotic way to prove yourself, wouldn’t you say...? They told me your testimony. I had a feeling you went in there with every intention of potentially murdering Ed.  He shipped you off, so you wanted to taste his blood didn’t you?  I think we’ve all been there, but some of us...  have a wee bit more self-control than others."

- Victor, providing commentary to Gwen on her method of killing Ed

Victor is a main character in Eden Rising. He was introduced as a Touch Star employee who was sent to accompany the rescue mission to The Serpent's island.

Personality
Victor is incredibly observant, but the other survivors consider him very insular. He is a loner at heart, incredibly self-deprecating, and someone who outright admits he trusts others too easily. His low-key demeanor is a behavior he's learned to perfect; he is prone to violent outbursts and doesn't want to snap and risk his placement in the group.

Victor is highly secretive when it comes to his past as well, instead of outright giving an answer, he prefers to give short answers that don't exactly dodge the question, but don't give a clear answer either. While not one-hundred-percent spiritual, Victor honestly believes that he and everyone else have a purpose for surviving this far, giving him motivation to make changes to better not just his life, but the lives of others as well.

Pre-series
When Leigh stated that she recognized Victor from the TV, he claimed he did "dabble" a bit in television, meaning he might have been an actor before the world fell apart.

At some point, he arrived at the Eden bio-dome and joined the Touch Star private security firm.

Season 3
Victor was tasked to accompany Tom, Leigh, and Declan to The Serpent's island in an effort to retrieve the kidnapped Ash and PJ.

Declan and Gwen noticed Victor's over-the-top violence when it came to killing infected, much to their surprise. Victor and the others escaped The Serpent's island alive and returned to Eden, only to find Eddie going on his shooting rampage.

Victor and the rest of the Touch Star task force took control of Eden during this rampage, even without Ed MacPherson's leadership considering he abandoned his responsibilities. Victor took post outside the greenhouse for the hostage situation. When Kitty was released, Victor organized for her to be taken to the clinic for a check-out. When "MacPherson" was mentioned by Kitty in passing, Gwen approached Victor and asked for security clearance so she could visit his office during the lockdown. He gave her clearance but asked her not to "fuck anything up". Gwen, however, got into an altercation that ended in Ed's death, and thus, Victor angrily took her into custody.

Victor and Anton begin to round up able-bodied men and women outside of Eden to defend the dome from an oncoming attack from The Serpent.
