A bit of background; Victor’s always been on his own, he’s not very good with people and he’s always had a fascination with freezing things. His parents - mostly his father - thought he was a freak for his behaviour and very much believed that he could beat it out of Victor, only to end up shipping him off to a horrible boarding school to let them continue the job. He didn’t have any friends, he was quite alone through school and college - until he met Nora. They fell in love and married quickly, and everything was wonderful for the first time in his life until Nora fell ill. Victor spiralled, desperate to find her a cure only to realise he didn’t have enough time, so instead he put her into cryostasis to save her and give himself more time to find a cure. Unfortunately the company he worked for didn’t approve of any of this and tried to undo his work, at which point Victor was doused in a lot of the freezing chemicals he’d created and was presumed dead.

He’s only just put Nora into cryostasis and been through the horrible accident which has left his body unable to cope in anything warmer than sub-zero temperatures. He has Nora safe and frozen, and he’s still desperate to find a cure - but tests cost money, so he’s reduced to stealing so he can afford what he needs, as well as afford to maintain his freezing home and the suit that keeps him alive when he’s outside.

Emotionally he’s in a really awful place, most of the time he’s quiet and subdued but his temper is quick to rise and he will snap at anyone at any given stage if you provoke him. He’s not a fully fledged villain just yet - he’s still young, still full of hope that he can save Nora’s life and they can live happily ever after and have everything go back to normal.
