I GOT A MENTION OMA YAY I'M FAMOUS... *cough* Uh...nice blog :)

"Thank you for those who read this all the way though!  Glad you could make it!!!" Dude please I make blogs twice this size :P JK.

Anyways, time for my take on the subject.

I agree that Victor, for the most part, is a tragic villain- no, scratch that. I see Victor as a tragic hero. Hero, because in the end, all things considered, he boils down to "Determined to fulfill his goals, but not for completely selfish reasons, and knows when to stop and be a good guy". And being that villains like Rufus or Denby ultimately have selfish desires and don't mind hurting others at all to get what they want, and adding in that Victor has, in the end, become a heroic presence (barring season 3, where I saw him as being OOC for most of it but I'll save that for now) that, despite his flaws and contrasting goals, he wasn't a true bad guy- just an antagonist. (And I'll remind everyone here that villains are not necessarily antagonists. Antagonists merely oppose the protagonists, and that's what Victor does; just as you can have a villian protagonist, you can have a hero antagonist, and so on.)

The only problem is that, like I said, I saw him being rather OOC in season 3. However, now I am going to dig a bit deeper. In the other two seasons, he was opposing Sibuna as an antagonist yet had sympathetic reasons and ultimately proved not to be a bad dude. Fact. And in season 3, he reverted back to his original personality rather than sticking with the developments in the other two seasons. This is also kind of a fact. However, one thing to remember is that, not even halfway through, Victor became a Sinner and thus lost his conscience. Now, in the beginning, he acted pretty much the same way he did as a sinner- except, it has some justification, as he was trying to fulfill his goal and his destiny as the Enabler. He didn't think RFS would turn out evil, and probably assumed that, in the end, this would turn out good for everyone involved- I mean, the world would have the great genius Frobisher-Smythe back and he may have another shot at making the elixir. Yes, after he found RFS being evil he did show the sin of greed but he still seemed to be trying to take the chance to get the elixir out of it- something which, I should say, he has only ever wanted to do because of his father. If he had not become a sinner or knew that RFS would be a bad guy, who's to say he wouldn't have supported Sibuna a bit more this time around? After all, he probably didn't truly think anyone would get hurt... but with Sibuna's record of ruining his plans, he was forced to be more strict and mean than ever before if he wanted to see his goal work out at all.

...And there you go, that's my take. So the verdict? Yeah, I agree, Victor's basically a highly flawed good-guy who is just a bit too goal-oriented to really make the switch to being a real hero.
