Victor

Victor is the fractured version of Ludger Will Kresnik, as well as the father of Elle Mel Marta. He is one of the Waymarkers necessary to reaching Canaan, specifically the Strongest Chromatus Bearer, as well as the Divergence Catalyst of his dimension.

Past
Not much is known about Victor, other than that his past followed his prime dimension's adventures until he and his friends learned that their Elle had died when she returned to her home dimension. Sometime after that, Victor became the strongest agent in Spirius, as his name is actually the rank of the top agent in the entire corporation. He met his wife, Lara Elle Marta, and the two became married soon afterward, eventually having a child.

However, when the party learned that she would be the Key of Kresnik, they opted to give her to the Prime Dimension, as a way to keep their dimension alive. According to Victor when confronted by Ludger and his friends, he explained that even Julius had sided with them, and in turn, he slaughtered them all, and had even killed Bisley Bakur for trying to take his daughter away from him. His wife died of illness sometime after the incident, leaving Victor to raise Elle by himself.

However, after trying to live a normal life, members of the Spirius Corporation invaded his home and tried to take him, as they believed that he was the Key of Kresnik, much like what transpired in the Prime Dimension. Victor, after fending them off, told her to go to Trigleph Central Station, telling her that she would be able to reach Canaan from there. He also left her with his pocketwatch, knowing that his prime version's pocketwatch was most likely being used by Julius. Once Elle managed to leave her dimension and entered the Prime one, Victor entered his Chromatus form and killed the Spirius agents. It is unknown what had happened after that before the party encountered him in search of the final Waymarker.

Elle and I
Victor is found at Lake Epsilla, where they had found the previous Waymarker, and is finally reunited with Elle. While the group is suspicious of him, he greets them casually and invites them to dinner, as thanks for looking after his daughter in his absence. To Ludger's shock, he even greets him by name, as the two are essentially the same person. During dinner, Milla Maxwell comments that dinner was delicious. Victor thanks her for her comment, and while Ludger concedes defeat that Victor's cooking is vastly better than his, he tells him that he would be able to make great food like this in a decade's worth of time. Once he puts Elle to bed, the group decides to ask him who he really is, with Ludger asking how much he really knows. Victor responds that he is a denizen of this fractured dimension, and that he is Elle's father. He also states that the Key of Kresnik is a rare individual, often the center of heated feuds between members of the Kresnik family, and that all he wants to do is look after her. However, he also states that the one standing in his way is Ludger, and tells him to meet him outside, not wanting to wake Elle up.

After leaving the house, Victor and Ludger enter a fierce battle, with the party quickly seeing that Victor uses the exact same fighting style as Ludger, and tells them that he is the Ludger of this dimension, and that he killed all of them (with the exception of Muzet, Milla, and Gaius, as they were not mentioned among the victims), including Julius fro when they tried to take Elle away from him. Just as he is about to kill Ludger, Elle finds them, and grows horrified by the scene. Victor tells her that, once everything is said and done, they can live together again as a family, along with his late wife, once they are reborn. Ludger manages to knock away his mask, revealing that the right side of his face is black, and his eye red, a result of his process in becoming a Divergence Catalyst and overusing his Chromatus abilities. Elle rejects his desires, and chooses Victor of him. Angered, he attacks the party once again, and enters his Chromatus, revealing it to be horribly damaged. He also used two pocketwatches, likely Bisley's and Julius', as he gave his to Elle when she went to the prime dimension.

After being defeated, Victor writhes in pain, and his pocketwatches falling to the ground. Elle is about to run over to him when he sees the same black mark as his on her neck, and laments that it is too late. He explains to Ludger that, if he were to overuse the Chromatus and give in to his desires, he would become a catalyst, however because Elle was holding the pocketwatch when he gained access to his powers, he had been using Elle as a medium, thus she would become a Divergence catalyst, and not him. Victor assumes his Chromatus, and attacks Ludger once again, asking him what his decision will be. Depending on the player's choice, Ludger will either impale Victor, or hesitate. If the player chooses the latter, Victor will grab Ludger's spear and pierce his own chest, telling him that he cannot afford to hesitate like that, as he will be the one to protect Elle from now on. Afterwards, in his final moments, he hums the Kresnik family's tune as he passes away with a smile on his face.

Appearance and Personality
As he is the fractured version of Ludger, he is virtually identical to him in every way, except his hair is black, and covers his right eye, while the upper half of his face his hidden behind a black mask, a means to hide his catalyst transformation. He also wears a black suit, and like Ludger and Julius, wields dual blades in an underhanded fashion.

Victor is cold-hearted and cruel, using his own daughter as a means to get to the Land of Canaan, however he justifies this by saying that, by entering Canaan, they can be reborn and live out a different life, no longer bearing the curse of the Kresnik family. He is also very protective of Elle, going so far as to kill his friends when they tried to take her away from him, even killing Julius when he sided with them over him. He also wants nothing more than to be with his daughter, going so far as to even try to kill Ludger and take his place.

Fighting Style
Victor can use all the same artes that Ludger has access to, mimicking his dual swords, twin handguns, and sledgehammer. He is also capable of using Chromatus as well, and has the same limits as Ludger's, vanishing when Victor successfully manages to cast Form Destroyer.

Trivia

 * In the Julius Ending, in can be thought that Ludger assumes Victor's role, having killed all of his friends and choosing his brother over them, possibly meeting Lara and having Elle be born in the prime dimension.
 * It can be speculated that, had Victor not be the Divergence Catalyst, Elle would have tried to take him with them in the fractured dimension. However, as shown what occurred with the fractured Milla and the fractured Rollo, if two beings of the same existence appear in the prime dimension, the one born in the fractured dimension will be erased from existence.
 * In contrast with Ludger, Victor's hair is completely black. It could be seen as a form of Yin and Yang, with Ludger as the light, and Victor as the dark.
